2.5 is reccomended
Either.
2.5 is reccomended for sockets and 1.5 is good for lighting curcuits.May 13, 2012 at 5:43 am #124894mgroadsterParticipantEither.

Can you take a look and give me you thoughts please??The the blue, brown and yellow/green come directly from the external hookup plug, to the clear connectors, where it changes to red and black and runs directly to a power socket for domestic plug. Also from coming from the black/red side of the connector is a bare copper wire that runs into another connector, changing to a yellow green wire which is then fixed to the the wheel arch (internally) as an earth I assume.
The thing that worries me is the cut yellow/green that comes directly from teh power inlet. Does it need to be earthed?? It only runs a single power point.
thanks again

DaveMay 25, 2012 at 7:13 pm #124905mgroadsterParticipantThat looks outrageously
That looks outrageously dangerous. The power from the hook up socket should be distributed by a small RCD protected consumer unit. ie a garage unit with a 16a MCB for sockets and 6a MCB for lighting.
ie. 2.5 3core from hook up to consumer unit, then 2.5 3core from a 16a MCB to the socket.May 25, 2012 at 7:13 pm #124910mgroadsterParticipantThat looks outrageously

I didn’t think it looked right!. I think I am off the local auto electricians!! This is a bit passed my knowledge of power etc, and I don’t want to be messing with mains power anytime.I also want to check out the situation with the lighting, as the previous owner told me that the lights run on leisure battery only.
Once again, thanks
