I have a design unit and 14 circuits to do. Can some one please help as I have completed 1 of my knowledge and before I crack on any help on this would be great. It's a rough copy so excuse the mess. Thanks. It's question 4. Thanks
Hi All
I’m looking for cable calculating software that would be suitable for commercial/industrial installs, can anyone recommend any please?
Also any software/templates for estimating costs if possible please? Or is this something most people would put together themselves on an excel...
good afternoon guys
I have a 95mm 4 core swa to this new office build , thats fed via a new exterior mains panel located next to a new sub station.
now all feed cables on this project have been designed by an independent company, and i currently have flagged up that i believe that using just...
Anyone able to help on the following...

Hi,
A while ago I posted about my neighbours 3-phase generator etc....
So he's being running through diesel like there's no tomorrow and been talking to a local barn who have said he can take the power from his property to supply their kiln.
He's been measuring the his average usage over the...
Looking some help with a question in an assignment I'm doing:
A workshop with 175 watt low pressure sodium vapour lamp at 3 meters above the floor.
The Sodium vapour lamp efficacy is 142.8 lumens per watt
Calculate illuminance and 4 m to side of lamp
Thanks in advance ;)
Good evening all.
Just wanted some advice on a cable calculation,
How do you calculate the carry capcaity of a circuit when there are two cables suppling a DB, we have 2x25mm XLPE SWA cable suppling a DB, just wanted to know how you would calculate the carrying capacity of these two cables...
Hi, need to ask a question about a 3 phase air condition. On it's data tag it is rated at 20Amps. When it rated like this are the 20amps on each phase?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
Just after some advice for a submain/DB I’m quoting. A client has asked for a 12way TP board to be installed in a warehouse and the length of run is 150 meters.
Section panel I’m coming from has a ZE of 0.05.
MCCB will be a Square D CDAE 63A so max zs 0.68 at 5 second.
Here’s my...
If possible could anyone have a quick look over these steps I've made myself for cable sizing and the protection needed. Please let me know if I've missed out anything.
I also couldn't find a definitive answer for maximum permitted voltage drop percentage for 3 phase. I think it was 5% and 8%...
In this video tutorial we demonstrate the steps needed to complete a comprehensive and accurate single cable size calculation using ElectricalOM Software in accordance with BS7671 IET wiring regulations.
Hi i'm currently doing some course work and have no access to the On site guide.
Does anyone happen to know the diversity for, lighting, ring mains, Welding equipment, TP-N equipment and a car ramps. The building is an Office building and a workshop,
Thanks.
When unable to carry out a Zs test on a lighting circuit (large/heavy chandelier type lighting), then the R1+R2 + Ze measurements are instead used and this is noted, but is it the norm to still write this value in the Zs box on the schedule of test results or just in the notes. I ask because...
Hi all,
Looking at replacing kitchen. Current setup is 2.2kw oven, 5.6kw hob.. total = 7.8kw on 6mm cable, back to a 40a breaker. The current cable run is short..
2m from CU, in breezeblock/plaster..
2m clipped direct, to a 45a switch (for oven in tower)..
3m spurred from that, on...
How would I be best to go about putting a temporary supply to an off peak board for testing for accurate Zs readings? There is a board adjacent with a permanent supply.
I'm getting conflicting information regarding parallel resistors. I originally thought the below was how to calculate total parallel resistance
1. Rt= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3
2. 1/Rt
However in my pre exam workbook it says to
1. Calculate Rt as 1. above
2. Find the lowest common denominator
3...
Hello
I have been asked to install a sauna heater. It seems that all sauna heaters are 3 phase but the phases can be bridged to run on single phase. However, I seem to remember there is a calculation for figuring out the difference in power when running a 3 phase appliance on single phase. I...
