peer agreement (net): +5
peer agreement (net): +53G 2.5 mm² cable Explanation: It means this is a 3-core cable, and the cores are individually insulated, with a cross-sectional area of 2.5 mm² (which defines the current-carrying capacity — the heavier-guage 2.5 mm² cable is conventionally used in domestic electricity for power circuits up to about 16 A) Note that as Anton correctly says, the conventional use of the 3 cores in this cable is for live (phase, line), neutral + protective earth. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 heures (2015-01-10 20:08:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As Chriss C. points out in his discussion post, the source text is really not strictly accurate here: it is commonly described as "3G 2.5", and everyone takes it as understood that the '2.5' means '2.5 mm²' — but it is NOT correct to add the ² on the end of the 2.5 without the 'mm' that belong with it. |
