I know exactly what question you are asking.What are peoples thoughts on these leads, my workplace have just pulled them out of service stating that the maximum current a 2.5 flex will pull is 25amp, these leads are 25m in length.
They don't need banning, they just need to be built correctly.Depends on the supply, a 32 amp MCB will likely open before a 2.5 mm² lead melts, but a 3 kVA transformer with a 13 amp fuse or even a 10 amp trip, with 55 volt to earth will pass 10/55*230 = 41.8 amp before the 10 amp trip will open.
I would like to ban yellow bricks, they cause so many fires due to having overload only on the input.
A few years ago I was asked to provide a couple of "street lights" and a PA system for an outdoor carol service. The organiser stated the previous supplier had provided 2 pairs of 500W flood lamps on 12ft poles (strapped to existing gate posts) and wished for the same. Their own maintenance guy always laid on the power from the house.Yes it makes me cringe when used for lighting, as load can be there for many hours.
