The size of branch circuits is directly related to the amperage draw of the load. The load amperage governs the size of the conductors that are used to feed the load. Also by the same token, the breaker that feeds the supply voltage is governed by the amperage draw of the load. So to answer the question, the wire sizes could be any number of different sizes depending on the amperage they have to carry.
The size of cable for wiring sockets typically depends on the electrical load and local building codes, but common sizes are 14-gauge for 15-amp circuits and 12-gauge for 20-amp circuits. It's important to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the appropriate cable size for your specific situation.
Various sizes are used depending on the requirement. In the UK a common size of steel-cored aluminium conductor is Lynx, with 180 sq. mm of aluminium in 30 strands around 7 steel strands used for 132 kV regional distribution. More recently all-aluminium alloy conductors of 400 sq. mm. cross-section are being used.
The wire can be as big as you want to carry 6 amps. As a comparison, the smallest home wiring power circuit uses a #14 size wire and it is rated for 15 amps. In the UK a wire of 0.75 sq. mm is rated at 6 amps for portable appliances with occasional use. For a permanent installation a cable of 1 sq. mm. or more should be used. House wiring uses 2.5 sq. mm cable in a ring circuit to supply power sockets.
No, a 10mm cable should be used with no more than a 40A breaker for typical household wiring. Using a 10mm cable with a 50A breaker can lead to overheating and pose a fire hazard. It's important to follow the proper cable size guidelines to ensure safety.
For a 24 pair 1.5 mm sq cable, you would typically use a metric M40 size cable gland. This size provides enough room for the cable to pass through while maintaining a secure seal to protect against dust and moisture.
Metric sockets are measured in millimeters while imperial sockets are measured in inches. Metric sockets are commonly used in countries that use the metric system, whereas imperial sockets are used in countries that use the imperial system. It's important to use the correct type of socket to match the measurement system of the fasteners being used.
For 6 can lights on a 15 amp circuit, you can use 14/2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) NM-B (Romex) cable. This cable consists of three wires: a black (hot) wire, a white (neutral) wire, and a bare copper (ground) wire. Make sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations before proceeding with the installation.
Most LANs use UTP cable, category 5 or better.
The most commonly used wiring method for residential use is called nonmetallic sheathed cable. Other types of wiring methods are knob and tube, as well as service entrance cable.

14mm and use 6 point sockets if you can

Satellite Internet does not use a cable modem. The service doesn't use cable or phone wiring in the house. There is a satellite on the property and wiring that brings the service into the house. The provider would supply the necessary peripherals to connect to the Internet.
The O2 sensors use a 7/8th wrench - special sockets with a slot cut into them to accommodate the wiring are also available. See "Related Questions" below for more
The NEC has a table that shows what size cable to use with each amperage and where it can be used.
It depends on the voltage, which was not specified. Please restate the question, giving the voltage. The reason for this is that cable size is a function of current, not power.AnswerThe size of a cable depends on the material from which the conductor is made, the number of cores, the type of insulation, whether it is armoured or unarmoured, and how it is installed. So, even if you know the relevant voltage, the only way in which you can determine the correct cable size is the use the tables provided in your country's wiring regulations, which take these factors into account. Incidentally, the symbol for 'kilowatt' is kW, not 'kw'.
No, a 10mm cable should be used with no more than a 40A breaker for typical household wiring. Using a 10mm cable with a 50A breaker can lead to overheating and pose a fire hazard. It's important to follow the proper cable size guidelines to ensure safety.
You own all wiring from the "customer side" of the cable box to the inside of your house, regardless of who installed it.
A Cable maker would produce wires and cable which have lots of different purposes and functions. The first is that you can use the cable to tie back wires and there are also lots of others such as wiring for a plug.
