Oh thats makes alot more sense :) I get it now.
So on an ecir for a bathroom or swiming pool circuits that pass through these locations now require rcd protection....
How would you know if that was needed to be coded either a c1 c2 or c3
Would it be considered dangerous or would if be a c3...
Ahh thank you for that its makes a good amount of sense,
Going back to the ecir question how comes I read alot here that : the regs aren't retrospective? If even older works need to comply on an ecir
Ah okay :)
So for example:
Circuit's in bathrooms and swimming pools ( I think) now need rcd protection that would be a fail on an ecir now even if it complied before?
A causel observer but a curious one wanting to learn...
On the ecir, an installation that was once deemed safe can be deemed unsafe once the regulations change?
Just a quick question
Do rcbos need to be used on lighting circuits in a commercial setting?
Eg on a new build school/hospital/what ever
Or on a new circuit install on a school/hospital/ what ever commercial building?
Theoretical.....the load would be a lights off each klik point on a circuit of say 10 lights
So the total load would be way less than 6 amps at anyone point. Or even in total
My question is then is they only need to be rated for the drawn load not the load that the breaker could supply
Klik plugs are rated at 6 amp with 075mm flex.
But I have seen them used on 10 amp breakers in shops and the like with the plug in Rose's and with the Marshallling boxs?
How does that work if the plug is only 6 amp
Is it due to the flex length being so short or something else?
It's an existing disabled toilet, that already has an alarm pull cord
That when pulled sounds an alarm by the reception.
Has no buzzer or rest in the toilet.
The toilet has 3 cubicles the pull cord is outside the cubicle by the sink.
A new cubicle is being added at kne end of the room. So...
I thought the pull cord needed to be un pulled for lack of a better word, before you can rest it at the main switch board it has about 15 ways 10 of which have been used
I dont have the make and model to hand but I will find out.
The person wanting to conduct the works, but I just assumed you...
Ah cool and if one is pulled it would set the downstairs panel off...
They are wired in bell wire.
I was told a whole new run from the alarm panel would be needed for it to work?
Can a disabled toilet alarm pull cord be linked with another pull cord in the same room?
So when either one is used it alerts the same way on the central board?
I take it that satisfys the reg for isolation of each light?
But with out light boxs how would you support the cables daisy chained between each light fitting?
The current is not shared at all.
From what I can work out is the switch live feeds all the lights and the permanent live feeds all the batteries.
So that would make the VD higher?
Or the current taken for the battery packs is tiny, but I dont know ? I'm just trying to understand how...
