The largest size of twin and earth cable available is typically 16mm² in the UK market. This size is commonly used for higher current applications such as cooker circuits or shower circuits.
The ampacity of an electrical cable depends on several factors, including the cable's cross-sectional area (in mm²), insulation type, installation conditions, and ambient temperature. As a general rule of thumb, copper cables can carry approximately 10 amps per mm² for low-voltage applications. For example, a 1.5 mm² copper cable typically carries around 10-16 amps, while a 2.5 mm² cable can carry approximately 16-25 amps. Always consult local electrical codes and standards for specific applications.
A 4 mm diameter copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps.
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.

For 3-core twin and earth cables up to 4 sq mm with reasonable air circulation, allow 8 amps per sq mm for copper and 5 amps per sq mm for aluminium. For permanent installations with high usage per day, use 4 amps per sq mm.

The 240 sq. mm cable has a diameter of 17.48 mm. It can carry up to 425 Amps current in a duct and up to 520 Amps in open air.

A 4 mm diameter copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps.
A 6 mm earth wire can be used to replace a 2.5 mm earth wire, but if there is an existing 6 mm earth wire it must be 6 mm all the way to the earth, and not replaced by a smaller wire between it and the earth connection.
