Its flex M4tty .

When i was decorating a house about 6 months ago i undone a switch to paper behind it and it had a wooden backbox and it was wired with flex. I think I heard that it was allowed/done like that years ago (1970 roughly)?

Is that ok?

cheers

Artic cable is normally used as extension leads.

Blue is normally for 230v and Yellow for 110v it can be used down to -20c

I have used it for outside lights before.

you can use any cable for anything as long it meets minimum specifications, you could wire your entire house in SWA or flex if you liked.

I use it to make up vehicle charging leads on fire stations.

If you wanted to wire up some lights on the moon would you use twin and moon cable?

Think you need a specialist website for that sort of wire

you been on the wine vicar.?

Its a question I was asked the other day actually. I wondered what you guys thought?

 

[steptoe]

it would be fine I suppose to use twin and earth, as long as you isolated the earth at the moon end and made sure it couldnt come into contact with moon in anyway whatsoever.

the potential difference between earth and moon would be much greater than earth and true earth mass and I very much doubt the CPC would carry the fault current.

I think a TM system would be required in this situation, perhaps with the addition of an additional satellite spike if required to get the necessary MLI reading to an acceptable level,

remember though that the MNCS is still not an acceptable system for the garage.
