Cable Capacities - Self Build Wiki
I have only just found the self build wiki as a result of a link on
laminate flooring thread and have been having a browse: http://www.sbfaq.borpin.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php In the electrics section, regarding cable capacities it says: The current carrying capacity of typical cables a 6242Y T&E : 1.0mm2 14A 6181Y Single: 1.0mm2 11A Why is the capacity of the single significantly less than the T&E? I would have thought it would be the other way round as there is potentially twice the current flowing in the T&E cable and hence a higher heating effect. |
