Another question for this morning, gents.

Busy with a rewire.

Gate motor has been wired with 1,5mm FTE to the lights circuit.

If the gate motor has an isolator and that specific breaker is labelled "lights & gate motor", is it legal ?

Will save on having to lay 2,5mm and wiring to a plug circuit.

I would say if the CB is max a 15amp then it should be ok for the 1.5mm.

I have seen that before and deemed it ok and the boss did too. But maybe there is something I am missing with it

Edit: is a gate motor an appliance ? If so then a mixed circuit is ok

6.15.4.1 Except as allowed in 6.15.4.2, 6.15.4.3 and 6.16.3.2.3, there shall
be no mixed loading of circuits.
6.15.4.2 Except as required in 6.16, a non-dedicated single-phase circuit that
has overcurrent protection rated at not more than 20 A may supply a mixed
load of a combination of any socket-outlets rated at not more than 16 A,
luminaires and fixed appliances.

Just be careful of the intercom wire in the same conduit as the gate wiring, very common. You cannot run a 12 VDC comms cable in the same pipe as the 1.5 mm twin+E or any other cable.

Gate installations and regulations are a whole thread on its own.
