Default metric sized wire & ampacity chart
On another forum someone asked:

"Does anyone know if there is an ampacity chart for mm2 wire that they use in the uk. Ive got 240mm and cant find a chart on the net anywhere. Hope you can help."

I assume there is. Any links?

Cable Conductor Size & Current Ratings

Should give you an idea

Also have a look at BATT cables site

All UK Cable ratings are listed in BS 7671. This is the UK wiring Regulations

which has spawned wiring codes in many other countries. Due to UK being 'a bit odd' you are not allowed to view BS7671 online, rather you have to pay a stupid amount of money for it. This applies to all UK British Standards

Chris... from your info: "Location: The old roman city of Lindum"

Have you (anyone really) read any of the Bernard Cornwell books?
His series on old England are fascinating stuff. (The Sharpe series is sh|te)

I live on the outskirts of Lincoln Bryan,if i goto the end of the drive and look down the road i can see the castle and cathedral on the hill in the distance.

I have read two of Bernard Corwells books,The Grail Quest,i did enjoy this book.
I then went onto the Sharpe book(s) big mistake,it was sh!te,really put me off and left it there really.
I am going to give the guy another chance at some point to redeem himself.

I'm quite into the knights templars at the moment and scouring the net for such.

Chris
