Any reason why 6x1.5 mm singles within 20mm plastic cinduit on surface shouldnt be used for a 3kw load. Length if run is about 6 metres. Fused a 13a via sf spur.
Thanks

Does the current carrying capacity of cables change on what voltage your using??
2.5mm can carry 27a at 230v
would this be the same for 1000v
could someone please explaain this whole process please
Confused lol

Can anyone help me out with this? Need to find the max current carrying capacity for 4mm singles over a 10m length in both metal trunking/pipe with a 20A 60898 B Type breaker protecting cct. No thermal insulation at an ambient temp of 30•C.
If anyone can help with breakdown of calculations...

Hi all
Been around for a few weeks but this is my first post so thought I would say hello

righto chaps and chappesses, I'm currently devising a spreadsheet to calculate the cable size needed for various sizes of cable for use on the DC circuits of commercial jobs where the DC voltage cable be 6-800V.
The reason being that a different spark has reported that an SWA cable we'd...

Would i right in saying that it is important to first check that a property is earthed sufficiently and that readings are within what they should be for T-N-C-S, T-N-S, TT systems.

In the red Osg is t&e table 6f ? Ie flat cable? I notice that table 6 e1 has two core and three core non armoured would this cover t&e or is this for flex only.
We havnt covered this in college

I am happy with calculating current carrying capacity for straight runs of cable. I am not to sure how the imact of a ring effects the cable calcs? Its hard to see what the possible loads might be. As of this do you take the center point and use maximum demand?
So for example on a 35 meter ring...
When carrying out Zs test for a particular circuit lets say Socket, what happens to the RCD protecing that circuit does it have to be ON or OFF? I know that the socket under test must be On and I know it is a live test.
Many Thanks.

The article doesn't mention what qualifications this 'electrician' had, but it seems he had filled in the EICR incorrectly, providing values for circuits which didn't exist, then the QS was given 46 EICRs to check at once, and missed the mistakes.
Should the CPS prosecute?

Hi,
I am looking for a bit of advice on the Regs relating to BS 3036 fuses on a ring main, as I do not agree with the comments made on a PIR.
The defect states that the conductors are too small for the protective device due to the 0.725 factor.
The circuit is wired in 2.5mm2 singles in...

Hi all can some one help me out with this,
It = In divided ccxcixcgxca
I have a 32 amp mcb divided by cc 1 x cg 0.80 x ca 1.03 = 38.8 amps current carrying capacity.
What would the tabulated current carrying capacity be, as it should be higher than the current carrying capacity.
Hope...

Morning all,
Is there any requirement to earth the catenery of the above situation?
I can't see any reason to, so was just wondering what others had to say.
