    Which is better BS1361 or BS88?

    Was wondering why was BS1361 replaced by BS88 even though BS1361 tends to have a larger breaking capacity according to the on-site guide if I'm reading it right, however, I maybe wrong. For example BS1361 breaking capacity can be 16.5kA to 33kA depending on what type you get, where BS88 is 16kA...

    Would you code a 60 amp main switch been fed from a 100 amp BS1361

    I carried out a EICR and the main switch for the consumer unit is only rated at 60 amps and the main supply fuse is a BS1361 rated at 100 amps. Im thinking this should be a C2, what are your thoughts please. Many thanks Martin

    Garage Sub Main BS1361

    I am planning to run 6mm SWA from a main DB which is protected by a 40A fused switch. The SWA runs to a garage and is connected to a BS1361 40A, it then goes into an RCBO protected sub main board. Is the BS161 necessary at the sub main when there is 40A protection at the source? Any advice...

    calculating csa of earthing conductor with BS1361 fuse

    Maybe I'm overlooking the obvious but how would you calculate the min. csa of an earthing conductor of say a tn-s system when there is no time/current graph for a 1361 fuse in the BGB? Do you just obtain If from Uo/Ze and then use this in the adiabetic equation. Ta
