In order for us to provide this information as a guide certain assumptions will have been made
It remains the responsibility of the user to ensure all data and assumptions are correct and that any cable used is suitable for its intended purpose.
The current carrying capacity tables for flexible cords in BS7671 do not include options for different installation methods, results have been included for flexible cords for the whole range of installation methods.
