Try as I might to use BASEC's web site, I cannot work out the heat resitance of 6mm T+E PVC Cable.
My electric intergrated double oven states that the cable must be resitant to 85 degrees C.
I get conflicting advice from the cookers website and places like screwfix and here etc as to whether it is safe or not..... Some people say 6mm is ok, others say need heat resitant flex....
I have looked on the cable length, but can't find any hint of a temperature...
Current Wire grade is BASEC 6242Y BS 6004
Which is what I am about to start using....
I have to assume that the wire is in contact with the back of the oven....
So... the question is... Is my house going to burn to the ground after an hour of cooking?
Any help appreciated...
