    32A or 40A circuit breaker?

    A really simple question. I'm sat here with my coffee and getting confused by it! 7.4kW EVCP. Would I fit a 32A or 40A RCBO? Not concerned with anything else, as it's all sorted, but the fact that the 7.4kW equates to 32.17A has thrown me. I was just going to use a 32A RCBO, but really I should...

    4mm2 for 32A

    Hi, I have an incoming 32A single phase supply to a 16A equipment. To protect the equipment I installed a 16A MCB in between. My question is for the cable from 32A MCB to 16A MCB, can I use 2+e x 2.5mm2 cable? I know for 32A we are supposed to use 4mm2 cable, but the electrical shops nearby...

    Go easy I’m new to this but.. I’ve just come across a 4mm radial (garage) being fed from downstairs 32A MCB ring. Trying to locate the connection but question is does this comply with BS7671? I can’t tell if it’s on a 13A FS or not at the moment.

    Using an old 32A shower circuit for new sockets.

    Nearly fifteen years ago I moved a bathroom in our house, and repurposed the 32A electrical shower circuit to power a pair of double sockets - which then had multiway adaptors powering all my office hardware (i.e. low overall power). Not exactly complex or risky at the time, and the MCB has...

    Grid switches on 32A ring

    I've been trying to work out whether grid switches (ie. a 20A switch) are acceptable on a normal 32A ring. I've read many threads online. Very few people seem sure whether it's acceptable but many sparks seem to do it in kitchens etc. The argument seems to be that the switch is rated at 20A but...
