Flexible 100A cable?

[la poste]

Hi.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a cable that was capable of carrying 100A but was flexible.

I am going to wire an S type time delayed RCD, the incoming side will be 25mm cable from the meter but the outgoing side of the RCD will feed two boards. Because the boards are all close together in a small space the angles of the cable will be quite tight and difficult to make with 25mm tails cable.

So does anyone have any suggestions for a more user friendly 100A cable?

As I said the cable will be fully enclosed within the consumer units.

Thanks.

Don't know if putting hair dryer on cable would make it more flexible

Tri rated is fairly flexable.

failing that, H07 flex

Wouldn't the conductors from a split-load leads kit be suitable if it is all contained within the CU? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/***06.html. (The forum filter is blanking the letters 'C' 'P' 'A' from the link. Put 'CP A06' into the TLC product search.)

Those kits are perfect but they are just not long enough.

Thanks for the replies.

I would have thought this quite a common problem.

It seems strange that I am having such trouble finding the solution.

Don't know it it'll help, but if you remove the outer sheath from tails it's much easier to manipulate and as it's inside an enclosure it'll be ok!

Otherwise I recon a wholesaler should be able to get you something.

Just use tri-rated as above any "decent" wholesaler will probably do this by the m in 25

It's what they use for inside CU's the N link if flexy

1 or 2 core H07RN-F flex in 25mm. Edmundsons should do it by the meter. Make the ends off with crimp lugs or butts so you don't just mash the fine wires up in the clamps.
