Why? Why cannot you buy the correct cable?

and have to use multicore cable in my home instalation.


Most home installations are wired with multicore cable, with two
circuit conductors and a protective conductor.

I have 4 core cable by 1.5 multicore cores.


Do all of the conductors have their own insulation? What colour(s)
is the insulation of the cores?

If you were in the UK I would say that you need to get someone else in
to do the work - if you are not prepared to get the right cable you are
not likely to like many of the things that you will have to do to
comply with UK safety laws.

However, I notice that your e-mail address if from Bulgaria - the
wiring practices there are likely to be very different and you really
need to find someone that can give you guidance for your country.

This is a UK group so you may well get some general advice that helps,
but you should base your work on what is normal practice in your
country.

A couple of comments:

* In the UK everything (well, almost everything) is connected to an
earth as well as live and neutral - this is a safety issue and I would
urge you to try and adopt it (unless safety is reduced by this - you
need local advice here)

* It is not a good idea to pair up conductors - if one conductor were
to break, become damaged, or come out of the connector, the other
conductor would take twice the current and may cause a fire.

There is always a choice! I suspect you are sadly lacking in technical
knowledge and simply trying to get "someone" to say its ok for you to make a
bodge of installing some electrical equipment. Sadly the only ones here who
might are in the same group as yourself.

Don't do it. either get the right cable and do the job properly or leave
well alone. You seem to have invented a word "ampacity" which only
underlines that you do not have enough electrical knowledge to do the job
safely.

Leave it alone before you create a problem or worse danger!

Ampacity is a correct term.

Only in countries where you use the NEC rather then BS 7671.
