    With that, 6mm PV cable rates at 70A (Alvern cables ) means we can wire a DB with 6MM instead of 16mm GP.

    I phoned them and said it's good, asked an engineer in front of a crowd and said fine, stranded cable is good.

    It goes against the grain for sure but perfectly good.

    So much easier to make a DB look good and it's safe. DC current is an animal so for AC it will handle it properly

    Many thanks.
    Excuse my ignorance but what is "PV cable" (Photo Voltaic?) and where does one find the official ratings for theses cables?
    I would like to know the rating for 2.5mm flexible cord
    To make a mistake is human, to learn from that mistake is knowledge and knowledge is strength.
