[QUOTE="binky, post: 79802, member: 490"] OK I used to run everything in 1.5, but got fed up with trying to jam lots this into ceiling roses on the odd occasion that 4 or more cables end up in one rose. Mostly I use 1mm - never had any problems with test results as I rarely get an R1+R2 higher than 1.2ohms. The only time I defo return to 1.5mm is when insulation is an issue and likely to cause reduction of cable capacity due to heat build up, as this keeps cable capacity well north of 6Amps [/QUOTE]
