Considering this, how many amps can a 6mm twin and earth cable take? We plan to use our standard 1.5mm twin and earth cable that the manufacturer rates at 20 amps , but the cables are run under thick (more than 100mm) insulation in the loft (installation method 101) so our cables current carrying capacity is reduced to 13 amps (from top table).
What are the nominal sizes for CPCs for flat twin and earth cable?
Answer: The nominal sizes for CPCs for flat twin and earth cable are listed in each of the relevant BS standards. The regular cable type you describe is to BS 6004 Table 8. For two and three conductor cables: 1.5 sqmm cable has 1.0 sqmm CPC. 2.5 sqmm cable has 1.5 sqmm CPC.

What size MCB do I need for a Twin&Earth?
I have come across a few installations that have a shower installed on a 6.0mm twin & earth. However, they have backed it up with a 40A MCB. In the tables for cables, I note that twin & earth, enclosed in conduit, installed in plaster, is only good for 39.4A.
