a mains opetated room thermostat requires three conductors to see to enable it to operate correctly.can you connect the thermostat to an existing two core and cpc cable?
Answers:
NO-not surrounded by the UK-the CPC is known as the circuit protective conductor-and as such is the land wire-It's cross sectional area is smaller than the conductors, I'm assuming near was only just a standard mechanical stat within before?.
Other selection is buy a wireless stat or run a 3 core twin and earth.

The problem near two core is that your appliance will not be Earthed and as such may cause an electric shock Don't know if this is what you are looking for but a room stat will hold a live feed,a switch cable,a neutral and an dirt.If you don't have a independent the stat will still work,but not so accurately as most stats have fry anticipators in them.
