So, a flat 6 floors and above needs an AFDD on each socket circuit. At up to £150 each it is going to be an expensive undertaking if there are a number of socket circuits.
But! ... A 40A AFDD can be fitted in the CU. It can supply the socket circuits which will have their own DIN rail mounted...
So three radials (or more?) can come off one OCPD 's terminal in the CU. That has been determined on this thread.
My Question. A radial can be spurred off a radial, but can a radial be spurred off radial spur?
On a ring final circuit the cable current rating cannot be less than 2/3 (67%) of the MCB/RCBO rating. So, keeping this ratio, scaling up, a 40A RCBO/MCB, needs a cable current rating of 26.8A min, so 4mm cable is suitable as it is rated safely at 32A current capacity. So, installing a 4mm...
52p per ann. to run a neon light, which will be approaching a £1 now energy has risen. Have three and £3 per ann. With all the rest of the standing losses in the hosue and in the CU you can pay for a night out. Add all this up over a whole nation and maybe a fossil fuel power station feeds it.
Excellent vid. Even Big Clive commented in comments section. They pointed to another vid at Lewden testing AFDDs. AFDDs combine four fault protectors in one unit. The longevity of AFDDs maybe in question they have complex electric boards inside, unles you pay a fortune for the top quality makes...
You brought it up. You pointed to the passage. You tell us. Closing the thread down are you? Didums. Did you also take you ball in when getting beat at football?
I do not have an end game. I was just doing an exercise of a low cost circuit for a flat using AFDDs - which three guys do not understand, saying it does not conform to the 18th and amendments. Sad reading from three so-called professionals. People might actually believe what you three write.
