I was about to order 1.5 mm wire for lighting before the Tuesday VAT
rise when I noticed in Collins Complete Wiring and Lighting page 26 :
[LENGTHS: if the company fuse is larger than 60 amps, 25mm2 meter leads
are required]
But I have never seen any other mention of this.
So can I not use 1.5 mm wire?

Yes - you're right, I'm wrong.
( I wont do wiring when hungover.)
Looking again I have found what confused me:
bad layout of the page,
The wording about LENGTHS at the bottom of the middle column
in fact follows from the bottom of the lefthand column on Cable Sizes,,
not down from the middle column.

If you were half competent you would have realised your error as it would
have jumped out as being illogical.


Erm, the fact he posted a question would suggest he realised something was not making sense. What made you so perfect?


The OP got a ribbing, but he took it all in good spirit.

Nothing still-born or lost.
