As the boys have said...

Two point five millimeter squared...

(just thought I would write it different to show how clever I was!!! :^O:innocent)

Is it not a general rule with modern cable sizes that 4.0mm & above are stranded conductors...

So as 6.0mm CSA is solid it is not 4.0mm & 1.5mm would be tooo small..

so 2.5mm it is! ; \ :x

Don't panic M8...

stay cool...

Don't be afraid to say you want to check something in your regs or OSG..

it is NOT a memory test...

They just need to know you are able to interpret and understand the current regs...

And in the real world checking in the book is perfectly normal!

Hope it all goes well.
