homemade singles

[TTbangbang]

Happy New Year everybody!

It's nice to be back.

I haven't got my brain in gear yet and have yet to read the holiday threads to see if I can answer any questions HA HA HA :^O . Here's my maiden 2009 brainless question: seeing as singles cost more than T&E, can I not just strip down spare T&E to make singles?

Good night,

TTbb

ooo, new symbol! ohms

you probably could, but id imagine it being difficult to sleeve 100mtr of earth...

I believe that the singles have a different type of insulation

could be wrong tho

Singles are multi stranded!!

Well at 1.5mm and up are

yes they have different insulation .. due to the extra heat in conduit. i am guessing.

 

[Andy™]

arent all cables designed to 70 degrees?

 

[Nicky Tesla]

yes they have different insulation .. due to the extra heat in conduit. i am guessing.

they are bendy/pliable ie less likely to snag when pulling through counduit and the like

The insulation is the same, unless you get LSF or Tri-rated, but singles are stranded conductors and therefore easier to manipulate
