Afternoon all,
When terminating the above size cable in fittings (light switches, ceiling roses, junction boxes etc) how would you normally terminate it into the terminal screws?
Do you double it over (which I would imagine would give better contact) or would you just shove it straight in? (which with such a small diameter of cable, both a very good chance of the cable end moving to one side, missing the terminal screw and resulting in a poor connection or the cable end getting crushed by the terminal screw and snapping)
1.5 cable I have found 'sits' better in terminal screws with no need to double over.
NB: I am fully aware different people have different opinions on what size cable to use on lighting but I suppose it's just a matter of personal preference.
Regards
