In the process of re-modeling the kitchen and have stripped out all sockets and intermediate cables. I'll re-run the new stuff in 2.5mm T&E, but the existing ring is 4mm copper clad alu. And it sucks.
The ring impedances measure fine for the rest of the house, insulation is in good condition and measures fine too, so don't need to do a full re-wire.
I've already had a few core strands tear up when torquing the accesories, and would like to do something to toughen them up prior to doing up any more.
What would peoples suggestions be to do this?
I've tinned one core and it has 0 breakage, but still has quite a lot of deformation. I'm also going to experiment with a ferule, but hesitant to clamp that under a screw.
Cheers,
Fubar
