Same Cable size for same circuit
Same Cable size for same circuit
(OP)
Hi ,
I have seen in some cases cable size is difference for the same circuit, for example from transmitter to junction box is 1.5 mm and from junction box to control room it is 0.5 mm .. is this acceptable and why is that ?
Thank you

RE: Same Cable size for same circuit
As to why there's two different cable sizes, maybe the instruments get wired by a different crew than those running the home run cables.
I know of a couple plants that don't use sizes smaller than 18g (0.75mm) because that's the minimum size for 'robustness'.
