For TT system, PE need for
exceed
25mm (copper)
35mm (aluminium)
As TT system effectively DO
NOT have PE cables within the
distribution system, this may
presumably mean the earth
electrode or frame earth system.

Where
K1 is the value of k for the line conductor, selected from table A54.1 or from the
tables of IEC50364-4-43 according to the resistance of the conductor and
insulation.
K2 is the value of k for the conductor selected from tables A 54.2 to A54.6 as
applicable
a
for a PEN conductor the reduction of the cross section area is permitted
only in accordance with the rules for sizing of the neutral conductor (see
IEC

From the above, we note that for up 15kA rating table 54.3 sizing for PE cable
will be acceptable in terms of energy-let-through for both gG fuses and MCB
class C and B types.

Low Smoke, Zero Halogen (LSZH) cables reduces smoke with zero
halogen emission. Classes of cables listed as Low Smoke Flame
Retardant (LSFR) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) are defined by the
following test standards:
The test for Low Smoke is the smoke density test of IEC 61034;
The test for halogen emission is specified in IEC 60754-1; and
The test for degree of acidity of is specified in IEC 60754-2.
