[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 450509, member: 1408"] Its a good question because there isn't room to write the imperial sizes in the boxes. I've had a few crop up and I filled in as the equivalent metric size TBH. 1.00 mm sq was 1/.044 but is always rubber insulated , never seen that size in PVC . 1.5 mm sq. was 3/.029 I think the earth was 1.044. 2.5 mm sq. was 7/.029 Earthwire was 3/.029 (1.5) 4.00 mm sq was 7/044 Earth was probably 3/.029 (1.5) 6.00 mm sq. was 7/.052 ( I think) Earth probably 7/.029 ( 2.5) 10.00 mm sq was 7/.064 (I think) Earth no idea. Larger sizes I can't remember . Anyway , speaking for myself , use the metric equivalent , no one will understand the imperials now ...only old pharts like Stepps & The Doc. Not me of course.
