    two conductors into main isolator?

    I've got a question regarding whether its acceptable or not to connect two different sized conductors (or even two equal sized) into the terminals of a main isolator. this is the set up TNC-S 3 phase supply incomer 100A main fuses > 25mm tails into 100A (switchfuse) Main isolator >...

    Main Protective Bonding (Domestic CU Change, TN-S supply)

    I've gone around in circles several times on this and I'm still not completely sure what the answer is ... generally speaking, when changing a domestic CU in a house that has a TN-S supply and 6mm2 main bonding (which is in good condition) is it necessary to upgrade the main bonding to 10mm2? I...

    Cable factors in trunking, conductors over 25mm^2.

    Hi All, I have been searching the forum but can't find this anywhere. Can you please see if my interpretation of this is correct: 50x50 trunking, 2m run with 1 90o bend. 4 x 50mm conductors, 1 x 35mm conductor. As there are no factors for over 25mm2 I have to work it out manually 50x50 =...

    Continuity of ring final circuit conductors

    Why is it when you cross connect the conductors at each leg and then test continuity, the result is one quarter of the combined resistances of the legs? I am usually pretty good at seeing how/why calculations work out, but just cannot in this case get my head around why the value measured is a...

    Protective Conductors Continuity

    Hi Guys and Dolls In my 2004 edition of the IEE Inspection and Testing Guidance Note 3, page 78, Protective conductor continuity can be confirmed with an Earth fault loop impedence test (R1 + R2 or R2 is not required to be measured). (Note 4) Ring circuit continuity also does not have to be...

    some help explaining earth fault for fault finding project

    this is what i have down at the moment.......is there anything that you guys would add? An earth fault is the most common fault in electrical circuits. An earth fault may consist of a circuit breaker tripping, a fuse blowing, or an RCD (neutral to earth) instantly or it may not re-engage. The...

    Parallel Conductors.

    Going slightly off piste on my D&V Project again. I'm thinking of running parallel conductors for an electric gate supply 'just to learn about it'. After reading the BGB it seems quite simple, in that the sum of two smaller cables will be the Iz of the circuit as long as the cables are roughly...

    Protective bonding conductors in a flat?

    I've just been to a flat tonight to look at some potential work, but there is no bonding conductor to the incoming water pipe inside the flat. I had a quick look in the main distribution board cupboard of the flats, but could see no evidence of bonding to the water, and the main water incomer to...
