The box has 3 * 2 wire 773 connectors which are yellow plastic.
773 should be good for up to 2.5 mm and 24A so presumably are suitable?
Can someone please confirm?


As the 773-102 is only rated to 24A, but the ring will likely have a 32A
MCB, really you should use a 222-412 wago connector instead.


Thanks - that was something which was nagging at the back of my mind.

We have RCBOs but the same principle should apply.

Cheers

2.5 T&E is not rated to 32A, nor does it need to be on a 32A MCBed ring.
