mused:

Can anyone suggest a source of single core heat resistant cable with ~ 16A
rating? I have only been able to find this

RS used to stock various it, but it is now show as discontinued. I know I
could put silicone or PTFE or glass braid sleeve on normal PVC insulated
wire, but this doesn't really seem to be the right strategy.

OOI, why single core cable?

A mate of mine is replacing four domestic immersions in a light industrial
application with a couple of Redring industrial 3 phase jobs, but still run
off an existing single phase controller. To make a neater job I would prefer
to run the supplies in a flexible conduit rather than putting two or three
standard "flexes" through the 25 mm gland. Anyway thanks all for the links,
I now have several options. I was confused by RS apparently classing 25A as
"instrumentation" rather than "power" cable.
