Hi
Whilst helping my daughter redecorate, I loosened off a socket front and a cable popped out of the back. I had already turned off from mains so went to reinsert the cable. However I have noticed it is flat, white 3 core and earth cable with the yellow core just cut off near to point of entry.
My initial thought was some numpty used some leftover undersized 2way lighting cable, but the core definitely looks bigger than 1.5mm,infact it's very similar in size to the 2.5mm twin/earth red&black used in the kitchen.
My question is, does 3 core & earth in a 2.5mm exist? and how do you measure it to make sure it is big enough.
many thanks
