It clearly does say one single or one double. Look in the top/left square, my friend.
The trouble is, anyone can change that single to a double at a later stage... you now have two doubles.
You do know the current carrying capacity of 2.5 mm is a lot more than 13 amps, right? You can easily...
This doesn't make any sense at all. Two unfused sockets doesn't equal "unprotected", it is still protected by the 32 amp breaker (just like all the other sockets on the ring circuit). All you are doing is limiting that socket and any connected after it, to 13 amps. it is still part of the 32 amp...
Sure, you are down sizing the fuse so that socket alone can't exceed 13 amps, while the rest of the circuit can. But one needs to ask "why"? Why not just use the protection set aside for the ring circuit? It is still part of the main circuit as an overall load, so why does a stray socket...
It makes sense (not that I think it is a great way of wiring a circuit). I know the logistics of it, I was more wanting the know the physical location of the fuse. So it is embedded in the socket?
Why are you still using fuses?
Help an Aussie understand.
The fuse connected to the spur, where is that physically situated in the installation? alongside the outlet, back in the switchboard, or somewhere else?
and do you guys still use fuses, or is that your name for a breaker?
A ring circuit has two actives in the bottom...
Sure, the supply cable should be sized to carry recommended current. The right size links are already chosen by the manufacturer, so the choice has been made for us. I guess the trick is in choosing the cable size, not the links.
It is wired for 3 phase and single phase.
My dear friend, if you can't read a simple wiring diagram, May I suggest that you call in a professional?
3 phase has the links removed and single phase has links inserted.
The seventh terminal is an optional "heating control". it will work regardless...
What are you guys talking about? The size of the service fuse depends on the size of the mains cable.
10 mm = 63 amp fuse
16 mm = 80 amp
25 mm = 100 amp
honestly, I read these posts and have to ask.... where do some of you guys expect to run the cables, on the tiles? if you say "yes" you haven't worked on too many commercial jobs.
Self employment is a big step. You will need a decent size customer base, which you should have built up over those 18 years.
You will find it is like a rollercoaster at times. You will make a few extra dollars because you did a job with leftover parts from a previous job, Then the lows of...
