In electrical wiring, when standard cable sizes are unavailable, multiple smaller cables can be connected in parallel to achieve the required current-carrying capacity. For example, four 1.0mm² cables can function as a 6.0mm² cable for live wires, while three 1.5mm² cables can serve as a 4.5mm² neutral wire. The color coding (yellow/green for earth, black for live, red for neutral) serves as a visual guide to identify wire functions, though the copper conductor inside remains the same regardless of color. This principle allows electricians to adapt available materials to meet electrical requirements through mathematical multiplication of cable capacities.

Good News! We Have Successfully Given Back the Borrowed CablesAdded:
Hello beautiful people.
How are you?
I hope everyone of you are doing well.
Me too. I'm doing well. Welcome and welcome back to my YouTube channel. I go by the name African Thomas. If it's your first time to come across this YouTube channel guys, please consider to subscribe, like, comment and share.
Yeah. So that we can move to another step guys. So as today I'm here I have decided to do a video at prescas home here. Yesterday I didn't manage to do the video for the reasons of the time.
Yeah I was somehow busy busy. Yeah I didn't manage yesterday to make a video.
Yeah because I was busy busy. Even today I was not about to do it but I have just sit and think I have decided that even let me do even if it is 10 minutes all less than 10 minutes. Yeah guys so that I can continue updating and uploading the video a day after day because no time even to make a video guys. Yeah.
And today we have made it to exchange the cables which were here at Prisca's home which we borrowed during the funeral time guys. So we have managed to change them to change them and you can see the ones which were the ones which were there are here. I want to take them to the owner.
Yeah. because we have removed them and we have to return them in a peaceful and uh a good heart the way he provided today to us.
Yeah guys, so I have talked with Brisa and she has accept she will buy the owner soda over a little bit even if it's 200 or 300 he will do so so that things can move well. So the cable which we have put here are the same same as the one we we removed because we have got the this one which I have fixed here are 1.5 cables and we have received them from G2. Yeah, Gintu is the one who provide the cable which we have fixed here and already I have fixed them because of I don't have the camera stand. I couldn't manage to to make a video during the time but I I was changing but you can watch the video at Prisca's channel because she she managed to make a video and she record what I was doing. Yeah guys, the same same they were down here is the same same I have returned them.
Let me show you. Yeah guys, so I hope you saw those wire which are yellow and green in color.
Yeah, that the one we have puted yellow and yellow and green in color. They usually been used in the house as art wire.
Yeah, but they do function in any kind of the place. But because what is inside the cover is the same same what is in the other wires you know. Yeah. The copper wire which is inside the cover is the same. The wire which is in the red wire, black wire is the same same. The difference is the car and the car is being used for determining and knowing which is live, which is neutral and which is art to put the mark to show you and to guide you. Does the work of the color but the function if you take a black wire it can work as a live wire.
If you take a red wire, it can work as a art wire. They all do the same work. The difference is the color and the work of the color is to to to show you and to guide you the the mark to guide you to show you which is live and which is neutral. Yeah guys those that is the work of the color but it's not a big deal. We have already managed to change them. So which are here are new but all of them are 1.5. That's why you see them. There are so many down here. Let us count them. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. There are seven. But they were supposed to be eight because it it it the wire was not enough. The cable was not enough. So I decided to make it seven because of the multiplication guys. Yeah, we have to apply our own knowledge at this kind of a place. Uh someone can be asking why are there so many like these ones. Yeah.
So let me explain this to you. You can see one two three. These are three. This this side three of these side side are neutral.
Yeah. I have made them neutral. But 1 2 3 four these one are live. You can see they are separate. The way I have put them they are separate. Yeah. The because I have put them separate because they are the same color. So that they can be giving me easy time to repair.
When it reach the time to repair I can be getting them easier. I can be noticing which is neutral and which is live. That's why I have decided to put them separate. This way you can see these four are separate and these three are separate. Yeah. So when it reach the time to repair I can get easy time to repair them. Yeah. That's why I have decide to to put them separate this one.
But when they reach here they come together because they they enter in the different cable which is is together.
Yeah. The one which is down here outside to that home. Yeah guys is the the the one cable which is twin cable.
Yeah is twin cable which is down here.
So when they reach here they come together because they come to meet a twin cable.
Two in one. Yeah I can say is two in one which is down here. Two in one. So when they come here they come to meet it. So they have to come together. that that side I can be noticing from there. Yeah, that's why they are that way. And another thing is I have not explained why I have put them so many like that.
So due to the machine due to the road machine the machine which is inside that house which is working there it is taking high voltage. So, it needs a big cable. Yeah, like um a 6.0.
Yeah, a 6.0 can work can work inside there. Well, yeah, a 6.0.
So, and this one which I have put I have put it here are 1.5.
So you see the different is big 1.5 to 6.0 is a big difference between that's between so I have decided to to multiply 1.5 cable so that at least it can reach near 6.0 to zero so that it can manage to to the machine. Yeah guys to the machine. So let me explain it well. So you can see this 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.5. So when you take 1.5 * 2 you get 6.
Yeah. And uh 1.5 * 2 you get 1.5 * 2 you get three.
Yeah guys and this one you get the so the live wire you can see it here is 6.0 the way I have managed to make it that way you see it there is 6.0 guys. Yeah, that's why I was telling you the machine it needs 6.0 cable but because we don't have the 6 zero cable so we will use what we have and we apply knowledge to what we have so that it can ro the machine. So 6.0 we have made 6.0 from 1.0 zero cables wire by multiplying it times.
So we have make we have managed I have managed to make them four yeah there are four cables every cable is 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 if you you add them 1.0* 0* 4 I hope you will get 6.0 and that is what I was needing to to to load in the machine. Now we come to the neutral wire because live wire is the one which is taking the current electricity current it have to be a strong one. So, but neutral is a return wire.
It's a a supportive wire is there to support. Yeah, guys. So, when even if it even if it will not reach 6.0, but it will still work. Yeah. Because it's there to support a supportive wire, a turn wire. So, that's why you can see it because of the shortness of the wire, I managed to make it three piece.
three piece here so that they can so that they can run the machine. So at this neutral at this neutral we have uh 1.5 + 1.5 we get 3. So 3 + 1.5 you get 4.5. Yeah. Yeah. Now we have 6.0 and 4.5.
So from 4.5 to 6.0 is not a big different. It can run. Yeah. It can work at that kind of a because a big uh because what is needed here is only one piece of a wire so that it can be 6.0.
So the difference between live and neutral is 1.5. The difference Yeah. The difference of these cables is 1.5 so that they can be equal and they can be the same. But the due to the shortage of the cables I managed to put them this way so that for at least they can be this way for this time because we don't have other cable. Yeah guys, we don't have any other cable which we have here.
So at least we can be having light in the house. Yeah, Wi-Fi it can function and other more things.
Yeah, that's how things work. And we have this cable as I told you at the first time we have Gint is the one who donated them. Yeah, Gint is the one who donated them and we we we we congratulate we are congratulating Gintu for his good and kind heart he have to Prisca because he have decided to to to donate these cables for free no any chargement. Yeah, it's a very good thing and a a a big thing to to to whisker. So these ones I have removed them. You can see them are here. I have removed them and I want to take them to the owner. Yeah, this the red one. Yeah, this the red one and that is the neutral. And uh let me explain a little bit about this. You can see this one there are four piece one 2 three four there are four and you can see these are two.
So someone can ask why. So I want to explain shortly to this this one are the same as that one we were are there. So I have to multiply them things.
So these are the six.0.
This one is 6.0. But the red one it was 2.5.
Yeah. 2.5. So 2.5 * 2 you get 5.0.
So you can see there's no there is no a big difference.
Yeah. That one was this one is a a a difference of this one which we were using is 1.0.
So that they can range 6 6.0 6.0.
Yeah. The black one is six. I have multiplied time 4 so that it can be six.
and the red one I multiplied times 2 which is 5.0.
So the difference is 1.0 because we need six and this six neutral six live six. So the difference of this was 1.0 to zero and those ones which are now there now the difference of these ones is 1.5.
Yeah. It means which you are using they they are big than the one we are using right now. Yeah. This one are bigger than that.
A a difference of 0.5.
Yeah. 0.5. A difference of 0.5. That difference of the wire we have removed and the wire we have put the difference is 0.5.
So that's multiplication and mathematician is working there.
Yeah guys that is the ma mathemat mathematics.
Yeah guys so I have to take this to the owner now. I have to to put them in a good order so that I can take them to the owner. Yeah. Please for me there. So I want to to arrange them well so that they can take them to the because you are so thankful to the own.
We have stay with this wife for a long time. Now we have to That's if there just give to Kaisar.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah, guys.
is what we are doing now here. You want to return to Yeah. So this the way I have So guys, this is the way I will take them to the I have to put them in a carrier bag. I have arranged them this way so that I can manage to put them in the carrier bag. Then I take them to the owner. Yeah. Then I go and say thanks to the owner bag. Hope everything will go well. Yeah.
So this the way I will take them to the owner and let me pause the video here so that I can meal for the customer and I can see how things are moving. Thank you for those who are still watching my video and supporting and you I'm welcoming new subscribers to my channel.
>> Yeah, I'm I'm welcoming you. Let me go and wait for a customer then I can see if I can proceed with the video. Yeah guys.
So guys I have meal and I have tested and I have realized that the wire they can ro the portion meal. So nothing is bad. The why they can ro they can make the push milk to work. They are strong enough to the port milk but they are not strong strong. They are small a little bit strong. Yeah guys but they can run the machine. they can run the machine and I can go there and test for you that the machine is okay and it is running nothing is wrong and for meanwhile we will use those one which are there y guys you can see I'm inside the portion and I want to test for Yeah, that's how the push me is working.
Yeah, this is how the push me is working and nothing is wrong. The cables that we have put down there, we have multiplied them well that the portion meal can run, you know. Yeah, the portion meal can run. And another thing is thank you for your support and I hope everything will go well and fantastic.
Yeah guys, but I was requesting for those people who are commenting for me badly. Please stop.
I have never make you wrong, anything wrong to you.
Yeah, we have met in social media. If you feel you can't manage, you can't support me or you can't view my video, it is okay. Yeah. If you feel you you don't want to like my video, it's okay. You can you can leave it the way you see it. Don't come to my channel and comment for me badly. Yeah guys, I'm requesting if you are not feeling to comment or to to do anything in my channel or to do any support in my channel, please guys, I'm requesting you stop to come and comment badly to me. I have never do any wrong to you. Yeah guys, I have never do wrong to you.
Please don't don't come to abuse me on my channel. If you I have wronged to you. Please guys come to my inbox. Yeah, I have my number on my bio. Take the number, text me and tell me the problem.
Yeah, you can tell me your problem on my on WhatsApp.
Yeah, you can come at on WhatsApp there, DM me and tell me the problem is here, here and there. But don't come to my YouTube channel and comment badly on my video. Yeah, I have saw some pre some few comments from some people.
They are commenting me too badly that I likely fighting people every day.
Others are thinking I I will I want to date risk and others they are commenting me so many things to those who think that I want to take risk I can't do that I'm here as a worker yeah guys I'm here as a worker and I'm here as a portion worker only nothing else nothing more than there I respect my boss enough. I respect my boss enough. I can't even try to open my mouth and say that stupidity to my boss. Please guys.
Yeah. And about fighting people. I do like fighting people and whatever.
I I I I don't fight people to me. I don't like even to fight. Even I have never fight. But if you did wrong to me, what I usually do is to to stay away from you. I do stay away from you. And what you are seeing on the video, I just bring it to you for for your advice.
Yeah. If you feel you can't advise me, please I request you. You can keep quiet. You can watch the video and leave it the way it is. Yeah. There's no need to come and comment. Oh, you like to fighting people every day. W you are a con man. Have you have I ever call you even a shiring guys. Have you ever me corn you to who you are coming to comment to me I'm a conman.
Have you ever I call you others are coming to tell me I'm a beggar. I like to beg. Guys, if someone fails to help you, he will help you even if you are you will not ask. And is better to I to me I can say when I ask and between asking and stealing which is better which is good. So, do you want me to stop begging or to stop asking for something which I'm lacking so that I can go and steal? Do you want me to go and steal if you don't want me to be? Do you want me to go and steal so that I can be beaten or killed so that he can you can enjoy?
I'm even if I'm asking I do like asking.
I have never asked you who you are recommending to me bad. Have you ever have you ever hear me or heard me anywhere that I'm asking for you anything to help me?
Have I ever come to you who you are asking you are coming to comment on my video that I likely begging. Have I have you ever support me with anything apart from your foolish comment on my video?
I have even ever seen see I have even see even see your advice. I have never seen your advice on my video. All all what you you do is to come and write to comment on my video that you like begging. So if I like begging, what do you want me to like to do?
Yeah. Apart from begging, what do you like? What do you want me to like to do?
Or have you ever helped someone?
Have you ever helped someone who you are coming to comment on my video? I like begging. Have you ever comment to have you ever try to support someone with anything?
Let me tell you guys when you see someone is asking for you something just know that he or she is racking it.
So he he he decide to come and ask than to go and steal or than go and do anything. If I I I do a video requesting you people that I'm lacking a camera stand.
Is it that wrong? Is it wrong? Yes, it is true. I'm lacking a camera stand.
What did I did there wrong to tell you people my my subscriber that I'm lacking a camera stand?
Is it that a wrong thing which I did so that someone is coming to comment on my channel that I like begging those people who are coming please to those who people are coming to comment on my YouTube channel on my video that I'm like I like fighting people.
Do you see that this body can fight someone? see this body. Can this body fight someone?
Surely to those people who are coming to to comment, I'm a cornman. I like to beg and I like to fight people.
I want you today to come and say what have I ever done to you wrong which is making you scared until you come agree to my videos and start commenting badly to my video. Just be open. If you have if between to those who people are commenting those things, if you have ever sent me a shielding, comment there. I want you to see you that you have support me with this and I have come back to ask. Comment there that you have sent me the money which you are saying I like to beg. If you have no you know people I don't know how we are sometimes even I feel to talk and talk and talk more because still I'm a young YouTuber still I am a young YouTuber even my YouTube has no has not go far away to the kind of a level that I can be I can start uh I can start arguing with people on my channel please guys still my channel is small I have start some days back here a YouTube channel even it has not grown big but some people are feeling jealous to eat and say oh Thomas you like begging begging so I'm asking And I'm asking, what do you want me to like to do?
What do you like me to do? Just tell me what you like me to do. I will do it for you so that you can be happy. When you view my video, you can feel happy because when I when I said when I start saying that I'm lacking something, you say I like to beg. I do con people. I like to fight.
So what is good to you?
I want you people who are commenting for me bad to tell me what is good to you.
What can I do that it can make you happy?
Yeah. So to me I will tell you I will continue asking because even the Bible it is it is written ask and you will give it. So I'm asking I'm asking because I know one day one time God will open the doors and I will receive.
Knock and the door will open.
I'm knocking the door and one day God will hear my prayers and the doors will open, you know. Yeah, the doors will open. So to those who are thinking that I'm a beggar, let them think the way they think. To those who think that I'm a conman, let them continue thinking. And to those who are thinking that I like to fight, let them think that I like to fight. Even you, you can see my body.
Yeah, see this is my body. Can it fight anybody? Even the energy to fight someone. Where do I get it to fight someone?
I don't have energy to fight. So guys, what I can say?
Thanks so much for your support and I will be uploading the video some days.
So due to the challenges of the of our day maybe I could I I will not be managing to post the video every day because of the challenges of here and there. As I said, I don't have a camera stand. That the first challenges because sometimes I like to do to show you how things are being done, but the the the cameraman not there. So if I could have a camera stand, I could be showing you even the way you start the push meal. The way you meal until you finish, you could be seeing. Yeah. The way I'm connecting the cables, the way I'm working the wiring because there are some things I'm fixing at home here. I can be showing you, but due to the camera stand, I don't have that the reason. But I hope one day I will have it and I will show you more more more and you will love it guys.
Thank you. Bye-bye. Let us meet tomorrow on another video. Yeah. If I will not upload tomorrow, I will upload the day after tomorrow. Yeah, guys. That's the way things are happening, guys. Bye-bye.
Thank you for your support and love.
Bye-bye. Let us meet tomorrow.
