Outside lighting cable choice

[Andy™]

Anyone make it past 2nd line?

i would never advise any one to use black flex on outside installs with out high grade core insulation (as carbon is the main item used to make flex black) as we know (or at least as the trained pro's here should know) carbon can conduct power and guess what u.v. can cause carbon to leach (also rubber does not age well in u.v. light) why you think the use of rubber cables was done away with for fixed installs (rubber dozes with age) you would be much better with neoprene cable (much more forgiving and does not get as bothered by u.v. and rain) fire type cables are also o.k. due to the fact that they use a silicate based coating and then are foil shielded thus reducing u.v. damage) however fire cable is quite costly i always use either hi-tuff cable or h05vv-f cable as its the only ones suited to outdoor use however always use mildly over rated cable for outside lights and sockets (that way if the fitting has a cermic holder (lighting) and is says may 60watt i know it can take up to 200 watts (for safety tests all cermic lamp holders must be able to withstand up to 500 watts incandesent heat) and i  know if i fit a 60 watt bulb (or for most installs i do now using halogen bulbs (with a bc or es base) i can safely use a 70 watt bulb) as i have seen jobs where a light has been fitted and the customer put a 100 watt bulb in and the cable overheated and failed (thankfully no fire had happened) so i always over rate the cable then install a 6 amp m.c.b. and a 30 mA r.c.d. trip to run the lights) as for outdoor sockets (i always use i.p. 66 or better outlets) i set them up with 15 amp cable and depending on the install either a 13 amp f.s.u. backed up by a 30 mA r.c.d. or a 13 amp plug backed up by a 30 mA r.c.d. (i work in tandum with a fully trained and quilfied spark (he checks and comissions all my work except where only a plug was used to supply the install) i do all the hard donkey work cutting fitting measuring and wiring up all to the new f.s.u. or consumer unit then he comes and checks it and completes the supply to the mains i check with a plug tail my side of the install for operation before hand

Hum.... use of punctuation such as full stops and paragraphs MAY get people to read thus. As it stands it might as well be in Chinese

Wonder if the spark he works with ever tells him to take a breath

Also the usual bulbs grow lamps glow comment would fit nicely here.

我从来没有向任何一个要使用黑色柔性在外安装带有高职核心绝缘(如活性碳是最主要的一个项目使用,使柔性黑色)我们所知道的(或至少是受过训练的职业在这里应该知道)活性碳可以进行电源和猜猜看是什么u.v.可能会导致二氧化碳溶解(也橡胶没有年龄和在u.v.指示灯亮起)你为什么认为使用橡皮电缆已被取消的固定式安装(橡胶dozes年龄),您将会做得更好,氯丁橡胶电缆(更多宽容和不作为所困扰u.v.和雨)Fire类型无关电缆也因为它们使用一个硅酸盐 涂层,然后将被箔屏蔽从而减少u.v.损坏),但消防电缆是很高的费用我一直使用高制Tuff钩子线缆或H05VV-F电缆(如它是唯一适合于室外使用但是始终使用轻度超过额定电缆,用于外部照明灯和插槽(这种方式如果接头有一个铺有陶瓷地面固定支架(照明),也可能会60W我知道,这可能要花多达200瓦(出于安全测试所有铺有陶瓷地面灯座必须能够承受高达500瓦的白炽灯光源散热),我知道如果我一个60瓦灯泡(或者对于大多数安装我现在使用无卤素灯泡(BC或ES Base)我可以放心使用 70瓦灯泡),我看过的地方已经安装和客户将一个100瓦的灯泡和电缆过热和失败(所幸没有发生),因此我一直在率电缆,然后安装一个6安培m.c.b.和一个30mA r.c.d.行程运行指示灯未点亮)户外插座(我一直使用i.p. 66或更好地店)我将它们设置为15安培电缆上,并根据安装一个13安培f.s.u.备份一个30mA r.c.d.或一个13安培插件由一个备份r.c.d.30mA (我的工作与一个在tandum充分的训练和quilfied火花(他检查和comissions除我的所有工作,其中只有一个即插即用设备的安装),我做的一切的硬盘驴工作切割装置测量和连线,所有的新f.s.u.或消费单位然后他就来,检查它的供应量和完成的电源我查了我一个插件尾部两侧的安装在手

Oh yeah !

Ah. Now it makes sense...........

I would have said that it is "all Greek to me"......but that would be. £00.00p
