Hi all,
I have a radial circuit in my garage with a single socket. I've added 3 additional sockets this morning, cabling them with 2.5mm twin and earth. When I came to connect these sockets to the existing socket, I discovered the feed from the consumer unit to the original socket was being fed by a thicker cable. See pic below of 'thicker' cable with a piece of 2.5mm for comparison.
Is this a problem? The sockets in the garage are used for standard purposes, charging drill batteries etc. The circuit is on a 32 amp breaker.
