[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 502886, member: 18490"] Thanks guys, that link to batt cables is illustrative and a bit helpful. Although they list sizes in cross section and diameter! (I previously thought split concentric had the same number of neutral and cpc conductors so as to be a 3-core SWA equivalent). My split concentric only has six neutral cores so I'm after a different manufacturers spec i guess, as I can't tell what the total cross section is and also whether the cpc comes up to 16mm (were there 4mm solid cores used?) This cable doesn't have armouring but it's only going from an external meter box through the wall to the consumer unit, so no different to if pvc tails were used. I wouldn't choose to use it now, but it is already in place. I know a 'simple' answer is to run new tails in but i don't want to do anything not necessary... [/QUOTE]
