Not sure if this is the best forum but there doesn't appear to be a general electrical thread...
Is there a way to easily measure - using maybe verniers - the size of a conductor inside multicore cable? Obviously the size is given in mm2 so I need more than the diameter - although would simple maths do it - IE πR² ?
I'm in a completely ridiculous situation in a new build where there are 2 electrical contractors on site, one is insisting that the wiring they've installed is 10mm, the other is insisting it's only 6mm, and I need to play referee. They've stuck a 63A socket on it (240V) so if I can't find a way to measure it I'm going to have to plug all my molefays in and see if it gets hot...
