Unfortunately any thread where I am Baldick steers well clear off.
Baldick don't like me very much, Actually I feel it goes much deeper.
Oh well, such is forum life Heh.
Bit of a bummer in this situation, one can never question his Electrical knowledge.
Foker gets paid squillions for his knowledge.
No shit...Well, maybe he'll make his way over and add his two bits...Originally Posted by terry57

"The minimum Multi Core cable size is: 10.0 mm2"
*Same for 20C ambient temperature, same for 220V, same for single core cables, same for multi-core cables.

Urm,
Thanks for that but I cannot remember the figures to enter in.
I'll just rely on what the Tradesman taught me when I wired up the hundreds of houses I have done.
Never used 10MM in any of them.
Of course not as its fookin not done on residential domestic installs.
Good troll though.![]()

Best option - just ignore Terry in all ways. Problem solved. Then there is no problem.
Terry is obviously not wired up right.
^Thanks for your valuable input AnalAndy...Now charge up your buttplug with 10mm wiring and fck off...

*Same for 20C ambient temperature, same for 220V, same for single core cables, same for multi-core cables.
240V, single phase, copper conductors, 5kw load
"The minimum Multi Core cable size is: 6.0 mm2"
240V, single phase, copper conductors, 4kw load
"The minimum Multi Core cable size is: 4.0 mm2"
240V, single phase, copper conductors, 3kw load
"The minimum Multi Core cable size is: 2.5 mm2"
So, we can gather from this thread that Australians in Perth only use 3kw shower units - or Perth sparkies don't shower at all.
You are welcome, Terry.![]()
^Nice new av there, cnx...People look at you in a new light, now...
Well done...
Residential houses have more than one circuit. 2.5 mm is fine for a lighting circuit.
A water heater would require a larger wire size, American Wire Gauge #12 or 3.31 MM according to the chart I referenced.
Guys that say the entire house should be wired with 10MM have never had to work with that size wire in an outlet box.
No can do...
10 MM would be enough for the entrance cable for many residential houses in Thailand. Sub circuits are sized according to the load.
Ohms Law. P= E* I. Power = Voltage * Current

Somewhat ironic that the new install inspection team of two from PEA...walked in our house looked at the service box without opening it,asked if we had a ground and a GFI, nodded and left.
Still don't understand why so many appliances come with Schuko plugs....defeats the object of grounding..never seen any outlets available?

On the ongoing debatable subject of grounding and or ground to neutral bonding:
While a grounded appliance offers protection against fire, it is not a guaranteed protection against electrical shock. In the event of an insulation breakdown or similar fault, unless sufficient current is leaking to fire a 15 amp or perhaps more breaker the appliance will still be live.
Only sure protection is a leakage protection breaker (Safety Cut or). Whole house plus individual separate units for pumps and shower heaters.
I wired our house and bonded ground to neutral..Good idea?..Not sure since, as one poster pointed out, your house could become the defacto return for your neighborhood in the event the ground/neutral in the network fails.
