Q.

tri-rated cables is the term tri because they can carry 3 x times the current?

they do carry more i know that, how much i don't and always thought a flex is tri-rated due to core design (high number of strands) so therefore should carry higher current than a 6491x for example

but 16a would suggest not ?

XLPE insulated cable ccc ratings are higher than PVC insulated due to the higher temperature that they can operate at i.e 90C v 70C. However, the use of XPLE cables at the CCC limit is quite often restricted if the inner cores are in close proximity/connected to lower temperature rated cables/terminations.

.....?

NO not rated for three times ccc! just rated for higher temperatures e.g.90 degrees rather than 70
