Kitchen and bathroom installers say that the 6mm cable is not the 10mm twin earth has a current carrying capacity of 65amps using current carrying capacity of copper conductors.
10mm twin and earth cable current carrying capacity.
Aside form the 3 most commonly used cable sizes of 1 1 5 and 2 5mm twin and earth there are in fact several other larger sizes of cable that include 4mm 6mm 10mm and 16mm.
Im sure your registered electrician has suficiently designed the circuit 10mm is not the current industry standard.

For cables of 5 cores and above it is assumed only 2 cores are loaded simultaneously ie live and neutral and the 2 core rating should be taken.

Twin earth electrical cables if you re after twin and earth in 1 0mm 1 5mm 2 5mm 4mm 6mm tps look no further.
The 10mm twin earth has a current carrying capacity of 65amps using reference method c which would still do the job but a bit overkill.
If you re after twin and earth in 1 0mm 1 5mm 2 5mm 4mm 6mm tps look no further.
For cables having flexible conductors see section 2 4 of this appendix for adjustment factors for current carrying capacity and voltage drop.
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.
Ratings do not apply if the cable is protected by a semi enclosed fuse to bs3036.
