    UK DNO Concentric cable current carrying capacity

    Had UKPN come out to a property recently to upgrade the main fuse from 60A to 100A but when they arrived they said that the supply cable which he confirmed is a 25sq.mm. CNE aluminium concentric cable (1-phase, burried) for the PME supply is only able to take a 80A fuse. They will have to dig...

    EV ultra cable, current carrying capacity

    Hi Doncaster EV ultra cable: Does anyone know what the current capacity of these cables is given particular reference methods? The spec sheet just says 'Max current' 45amps (for the 4mm) but it doesn't state the reference method. The manufacturer does have a very handy cable calculator...

    Wago 221 + box = replacement for 30A junction box?

    Hi, I need to swap out a damaged 30A junction box on an existing ring main circuit and thought I'd replace it with Wago 221 connectors and a Wago box, but got a bit concerned by the multiple ratings on the sides of the connectors. Can I simply swap out an old 30A JB with Wagos? Will it be...

    Tri rated cable current carrying capacity

    I have a 37KW motor and need to replace some burnt out 35mm2 tri rated cable(loose connection). I’ve looked at 25mm2 Tri rated cable the data sheet says it’s current carrying capacity is 136amps. The lengths will be 0.5m.Is there any other consideration I should take into consideration? It will...

    Cable type ... current carrying capacity

    I'm looking at an install of a double oven cooker ... 11.3kW maximum demand ... and rather than use 10mm T&E for the final connection I have been looking at the CCC tables in Appendix 4 Table 4E2A on page 368 (3rd Amend of 17th) states I should be able to use a cable with 6mm CSA conductors...

    Current carrying capacity

    Morning The company that I work for has recently had an electrical inspection carried out. One of the findings consisted of 'ineffective overcurrent protection of cable due to rating of protective device and CSA of cable' Basically a 100A isolator was feeding a 16mm SWA. The SWA conforms to BS...

    Exceeding the current carrying capacity

    Current carrying capacity is a figure which is given to us by manufacturers, correct? Now, I've watched those videos of the guy trying to set fire to a piece of 1mm and it takes quite a bit more current to set a light. So for example, if you had a 9kw shower and a 9.5kw instantaneous unvented...

    Current carrying capacity of a ring final circuit - grouping factor?

    Eh up :) I'm trying to challenge myself with scenarios where I'm not sure if my interpretation of the calculation rules + regs is correct or not. RFCs are doing my head in. I think I understand most of the theory: - 433.1.204 lists a specific case where a RFC protected by a 30/32A protective...

    Cable Current carrying capacity

    Why is it that the tables in the Regs for Cable current carrying capacities vary so much from that of a cable manufacturers data sheet, for example a table in the Regs book states a 240mm 4 core XLPE Armoured cable buried will carry 324 amps, but a data sheet for a leading manufacturer states...
