    How to thoroughly test a new 2P+E 32A socket

    Mobile equipment not exceeding a rating of 32a for use outdoors.

    Could someone please give me examples of what this would cover. I'm assuming it's irrelevant to portable equipment like a lawn mower on a domestic installation and more to do with industrial. Thanks in advance.

    2.5mm on 32A MCB

    Just wondering what folks would do if you came across this on your travels. 4mm radial sockets circuit, on 32A MCB. Two branches from the CU, one supplying 6 double sockets, wired entirely in 4mm, so fine. The other branch consists of a 1m run of 4mm to a double socket, then around 5m in 2.5mm...

    Replacing single 13a plug in oven with 16a fixed wire on 32a dedicated circuit

    4mm 32a Radial In Trunking

    Changed a CU today and noticed the kitchen sockets were wired in 4mm t&e surface mounted in trunking and on a 32A breaker. Now, the CCC for this is strictly only 30A (ref.method B). Would anyone be overly bothered about this? Common sense tells me that it is unlikely this cable will be asked to...

    Feeding new 2 way board from 32a MCB

    Hi all, OK, so was sent to a job today for upgrading a kitchen. The existing mains was an older MEM board which the newer Eaton RCBO's wont fit. The only circuits being amended are the kitchen ring main (32 amp) and the lighting circuit (5 amp). The customer would not have been keen on...

    Ka Rating of 32A BS88 gG AT 400V/ 230V AC???

    Hi, I am trying to determine the Ka rating of the above fuse. For 400V I believe it is 80 Ka but have found that it is 40 Ka for 250V DC. Can anyone tell me what it is for 230V AC or where I can find the answer? I have already looked on the web and in the latest OSG but maybe not in the right...

    Has anyone any views on max Zs for say a type c 32a rcbo at 80% is 0.54 and 100% 0.68. I am currently testing a collage and all ring circuits are type c and I am exceeding 0.54 and 0.68 this is a TNCS system so to my knowledge table 41.5 in regs which tells us 1667 for 32a rcbo for TT systems...

    Why is a cooker circuit generally 6mm and 32a

    As above why is this as I have had a thought and a 20a 2.5 mm cable would be sufficient? Even in my new built it has an oven and hob both 32a radials for each on 6mm cable? Each with a 13a plug on the appliance as diversity shows around 10a max. so even with an upgraded appliance I don't see...

    2.5mm on a 32a radial or not?

The MCBs are obsolete so I had to re use the C32 used originally supplied the ring. can I use 2.5mm cable? 32A radial but with 2.5mm cable- not something you would see...

    Which 320V 32A Interlocked Switched Socket?

    I need to obtain 4 x switched interlocked 32A 230V (single phase) sockets for my garage. They are for a 28A rated welder, a large lathe and a large mill. I'm having 4 sockets installed to give some flexibility on positioning. However, the price of these 32A switched interlocked units varies...

    Ideal 32a inline connectors

    Been to a job today "can you come and have a look at this please my sockets aren't working". DIY Dave has been in and extended a ring from a point where the client wanted a socket removing. New sockets now not working. So I proceed to chase around his bodged plastering. This is what I find.

    Is it possible to have 3 x male blue 32a c plugs to 1 x 63a 3ph socket

    Hi, Im new to this forum and need to pick someones brains. I bought a 3ph 63a Distro in a flightcase with dimmer packs, sockets and RCD. It works well in venues with 3ph but I would like to use it in smaller venues which only have single phase. I have seen a converter [TABLE="width: 678"] [TR]

    32A 3ph Plug with threaded conduit entry?

    Hi all, Does anyone know if anyone makes a 32A 3 phase plug that will attach to the end of flexible conduit? or... somewhere that does 6mm2 4 core H07 flex by the metre? I've got a 10kW DC power supply to wire up. It's a 480v 3 phase unit bought off ebay. The people who've just bought it want...

    4mm in walls is <32 yet we use 32A mcb

    I know this has been around but how is it reconciled that 4mm in plaster (with or without capping) can be used with 32A MCB when tables say cable rating is less than 32A? Also: I can't get my head around why a single socket spur on a single socket spur on ring is different to one double socket...
