generally 2.5mm for 15A and 4.0mm for 25A rating at concealed configuration. if you do multiple looping for plugs, try to used the first point 4mm, then loop at 2.5mm. 2.5mm price is around rm60 and 4.0mm price rm110 per roll. (few hours) current it draws, the hotter the cables becomes..with bigger cables, the copper Howto size your 3 core SWA cable. Electrical engineers and electricians can use the below the formula to work the volt drop on 3 core armoured cable. Voltage Drop = (mV/A/m) x Ib x L / 1000. (mV/A/m): To find the value for (mV/A/m) use the above tables. Ib: Design current in Amps which is watts divided by voltage.

A ring main can be wired in 2.5mm cable and be protected by a 32amp mcb becuase it is wired in 'ring' so the load on the circuit can theoretically be considered to be on a 5mm size conductor. It was designed years ago when copper was expensive, so using 4mm and 6mm radials was ousted by the introduction of the ring allowing for CABLESTANDARDS BS EN 50525-2-41 (0.5mm 2 to 2.5mm ), SIA/SIAF generally to BS EN 50525-2-41 (4mm2 and above) APPLICATION CURRENT RATING IN AIR Amps at 30ºC at 60ºC at 90ºC at 120ºC at 150ºC at 170ºC 0.25 15 13 11 9 6 3 0.35 19 17 14 11 7 4 0.5 23 20 17 13 9 5 0.75 30 26 22 17 11 6 SuggestedMax Current 13A Voltage Drop mV/A/M: 26.5 BS7909 2011 Code of Practice for Temporary Electrical Systems for entertainment and related purposes, recommends the use of HO7 RN-F cables for outside 25: Yes: 24: 5.75 • Power outlets with maximum 3 double outlets per circuit – kitchens, laundries. • Power outlets with up to 12 double outlets per circuit and maximum load of 10 amps per outlet – areas other than kitchens, laundries. • Water heater with maximum element rating of 3–4 kW. generally 2.5mm for 15A and 4.0mm for 25A rating at concealed configuration. if you do multiple looping for plugs, try to used the first point 4mm, then loop at 2.5mm. 2.5mm price is around rm60 and 4.0mm price rm110 per roll.
