[QUOTE="mike spark, post: 13590, member: 1053"] Evening all, i got called to a job where the phase wires had pulled out of a couple of sockets, the phase wires have pulled because they are so short and now they are to short.The ring is run in 4mm twin and earth, the cables runs into the top of the back box and then run out the bottom of the back box, so i can lift or drop the back box to get the extra length on the phase wires. So as far as i can see my options are, to either use terminal blocks or crimps to add the extra length. I have never come across this before (under these circumstances so any advice from you guys would be great. Also when adding the extra length what do you reckon to using 2.5mm instead of 4mm due to how much easier it is to terminate? [/QUOTE]
