I am off to Silverstone at the end of the month for the British F1 Grand Prix.

The farm site I am booked into has baffled me with science over the electric cable requirements, specifying:-

Need to bring a suitable cable, this must be a 16a single phase CeeForm plug (blue) with suitable grade of
double insulated three core outdoor cable. 1.5mm or larger.

Is this the orange cable we all use?

    It certainly sounds as though it is. But I'm no electrician.

    I would think your 'orange' cable will be acceptable but maybe give them a call to confirm rather than turning up without an appropriate one.

    You should be fine and the chances are that your existing cable is 2.5mm.

    You might find the linked thread of interest.

    Sorry Guys, got my cut and paste mixed up cry.

    The actual spec they want is 

    Need to bring a double insulated three core cable which is of an outdoor grade and has a 16a single phase CeeForm socket on one end and a plug on the other. This must be a minimum 2.5mm cable.

    Is this my usual orange cable?

    Sorry for the confusion

    Adrian
