[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 390277, member: 9512"] OK, why 5 core? 1.5mm sq should be fine carrying up to 13A (the limit of an FCU). I am presuming that this is a YY type flex? How do you terminate the wiring? I mean do you go from the FCU to a control box, then out to each blind? Do you go from the FCU to the first blind, then loop on to the second, then the third etc.? What is the length of run on the cable from the FCU to the furthest blind? Is it the ones at the end of the run that are "failing"? What is the voltage rating of the motors is it 240, or 220 to 250 or the like? This will give an indication of the minimum voltage the motor will accept. Is the control system a solid state electronic pack built in to the unit? [/QUOTE]
