Having the correct cables installed is fundamental to the safe operation of any electrical installation. So it’s not only important that the circuits are designed to comply with the wiring regulations but also installed to that design!
There is no one section within the regs that is dedicated to cable selection but numerous references are made throughout the regulations.
This video draws together all the cable selection elements from the regulations and provide practical examples of how they are applied to the selection of cables.
Most of the content used has been kindly supplied by the Electrical Contractors Association, from their online wiring regs course, and we thank them for allowing us to use it!
The examples used show the basic principles of cable selection for simple designs. So if you are deciding what cable to choose for a specific requirement make sure you always refer to the regs in full to ensure full compliance!
