    I don' t see a problem as long as the core size fits the ferule correctly.
    We have had on numerous occasions had to use two different size lugs on a 4 core cable.
    You may end up using lugs and bolts to join through

        The mobile site version doesn't deal with attachments particularly well. You need to work with the "desktop version".
        This may be an option with your browser (e.g. Chrome has it as an option).
        If it is an option in your browser, use this method to get to the desktop version as unchecking the tick box will get you back to the mobile version easily.

        Otherwise there is a View Full Site link at the bottom of every mobile version page.
        It works, but you are in for sport if you want to go back to the mobile version...

        Once in the desktop version of the thread -
        Click on Go Advanced in the Quick Reply area.
        Below the Post Reply area you can Manage Attachments.
        Click on that.
        Select and upload the image.
        Click Insert Inline
        You can close the pop-up and finish editing the post.
        Then Post Reply.

          I've never use a mobile device to access the forum so I've asked for one of the other staff members to give you advice.

          I have to rectify a generator installation as the previous contractors install the generator before councils meter.

          I have to extend the 150mm cable which is armour cable (solid stranded copper) and I want to crimp onto this cable 150mm single core flexible cable ( braided copper cable), does anyone forsee any challenges with this?
          When you say braided copper' I'm assuming it's fine stranded wires...
          Just crimping with a ferrule is fine if the cable is glanded into an enclosure and joint is inside. Line tap connectors or DIN mount stud terminals would be another couple of options that have the advantage of being servicable in future. If the cable is trailing and you're jointing the cable with ferrules you should use a resin joint to give strain relief.
