Wow that seller must be well out of pocket. His fault for such a low starting bid on a free P&P auction :p

Hi Sparks - no that's brilliant thanks - I think he's in the wrong but I shall investigate.

Spark, sorry mate I did mean ring I'm getting myself confused now lol! However you raised an interesting point - why the larger cable size for a ring? Thanks for everyone's correspondence by the way :)

Yes, 32A RCBO radial circuit. Given such a short run and only several socket outlets I can't understand why 4mm is necessary - unless it's something to do with the 17th Edition.

20m cable run rather. Even if the cable was to be in insulation (for lets say 5m) I would have thought 2.5mm would be man enough?

No the cables would be run in the floor void as far as I know (I'm fairly sure this is what will happen). Or perhaps run in the ceiling void and then dropped to the sockets under capping.

Hi - I specified a 2.5mm2 T&E ring circuit feeding general 13A socket outlets in two small bedroom and an adjoining hall, 32A RCBO at distribution board. I calculated a 5 amp connected load with a 20mm cable run. The main contractor is making a fuss about the ring being a 4mm2 one - why is...
