Twin and Earth cabling

courtney blythe

Hi,

I'm using twin and earth cables for a office building refurb. In the BS 7671 regs i can only see cable current carrying capacities for these cables in thermal ceilings and walls, this will not be the structure for the office building internally. How can i size the twin and earth cables?  I.e are there alternative tables?  I hope you can answer soon.

Regards

    T/E is one of the best cables around in terms of optimum choice. Properly installed it will give service for many decades. Back in the 80’s as a contractor, we installed miles of the stuff, mostly in premises related to the hospitality sector but also in offices and shops that were blasted during the troubles in NI. Now 40 years later I have returned as an inspector and find the cables almost as good as the day they were installed! 
    I thought then that that it was silly to look down ones nose at a perfectly sound wiring system. Now I know that it definitely is!
