This has led to my parents requesting that I carry out a 'small project' for them and involves installing a couple of additional double plugs in their conservatory. As...

    Radial socket outlets on 16A MCB in outhouse

    Right, bear with me, cos I know this might be boring for some of you, but a bit of advice from an experienced head or two would help to confirm my thinking (or throw me into a mess of confusion....) I recently got Part P registered (elecsa) and have been doing fairly low key jobs here and there...

    PVI 3600 Outdoor 16A limited with 4.5 kWp panels

    Questions about 16A output current of 4kw system

    Hi guys, Some of PV installators told me that they want 4KW inverters with the max out put of less than 16A/phase. But G83 defines that is the reuqirement to systems less than 3.7kw. For 4kw, the safty should be G59. Could anyone tell me why some installators hope to get 4KW under 16A...

    16A MCBs on Lighting Circuits

    I was always taught that the max size mcb for domestic type lighting circuits is 10A due to the fact that accessories are rated no higher than 10A. When I recorded 16A MCBs on lighting circuits as a C2 departure my supervisor has corrected them as satisfactory as the current carrying capacity of...

    Chint 4.0kw inverter, Anyone used them before? 16A limited?

    Due to supply problems I ended up panic buying a Chint CPS SC4KTL-O. I took it out of the box today and noticed a G59 sticker. I called Chint, too busy to talk to me (also were very rude, and knew next to nothing). Someone useful was going to call me this afternoon but nearly 11pm so I'm...

    16A threshold for G83 - Array size or inverter output?

    The saga continues. I was told today by an engineer at Central Networks that it is inverter output that is important when considering the G83 threshold. Hopefully this will be the stance all DNOs take before long.

    16A MCB or 20A MCB ?

    Can anyone tell me why the latest 17th edition 10 way consumer units have all but 20A MCB's? They seem to have a couple of 16A MCB's but for a radial 20A is more desirable. Im confused. Its a great package but whats the 16A breakers for? And why no 20A breakers?

    16a MCB/Water Heater

    Right theres a good chance I could be picking this up wrong, but I'm sure this was what was said. Boy in my college class said he spurred off a water heater circuit (3kw) for a socket for a 2kw fire. Surely this can't be right?
