[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 499440, member: 1408"] I've heard that many times , it comes from working on the bigger commercial type jobs where the length of cable runs and numbers of light fittings precludes the use of 1.00mm . Nothing wrong with 1.00mm in the domestic field . Some old sparks would carry certain misconceptions with them , one or two I remember would not accept PVC conduit for instance . One I worked with would net accept the use of a runner ( Running thread ) when installing steel conduit . If you had a great big , awkward giant set you'd have to try to wind it onto the thread , which took forever , probably two men , much swearing and gnashing of teeth ....when the answer was to make a runner.
