    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]

    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...

    Hi all, I did some work on a house the other day that had a circuit for sockets which was cabled in 4mm to half way in the house the split of it to 2.5 up to the sockets. It had a 32a breaker. I'm aware that you can have a 32a 4mm radial but that the whole circuit must be in 4mm. Using 2.5 on...

    Spur from 32a mcb

    Morning all, As we know, you can run a spur on a ring final cct from the top of the 32a breaker. But can you run a single socket radial cct from a 32a breaker? essentially making it a spur but without the ring being present. Thanks

    Outdoor 32A 3ph sockets

    Hi guys hope you can help! This might be a stupid question but in your opinions do 32A 3ph IP67 sockets to feed some outdoor jet wash units at a car wash require RCD protection? Doing a quote for a bloke who's shall we say a bit "careful" with his money. The integrated ones are about £300...

    32A Commando Socket.

    Got a machine at a job rated at 32A Max, I believe that it will be fine on a 32amp commando interlocked socket but i have been requested to fit a 63amp? Does anyone else think it should be overrated to 63amp, considering its backed at the board by a 32Amp opd.

    4mm radial on a 32A?

    Bit bored, boys in bed, beers in tummy and I thought I'd ask everyone why a 4mm radial is allowed to have a 32A MCB protecting it when its current carrying capacity is only above 32A when it is clipped direct or in free air? I'm thinking diversity, but what if its your only circuit for...
