Hi all,
This may be a silly question but here goes.
When completing an inspection report for a small domestic installation (EICR not install). Would you mark all tick boxes under 5.0 Distribution circuits as N/A seeing at this is for a circuit/wiring feeding another distribution board?
Thanks
I have a small camper. I'd like the option to power the distribution center/panel from either shore power or by the AC output from a Jackery solar generator.
I'm thinking to have a two-position changeover switch with one input and two outputs. Input would be from shore power as it comes...
Hi all,
First time poster here, albeit long time lurker.
I could do with some opinions on running distribution circuits around and through the building voids of an apartment block. The project is an old police station being converted into flats. The bloke from the private DNO approved company...
Want to install a garden shed with Tumble Dryer and separate garden office building. I have run duct from side of house to where garden shed is going to be, then run another duct to where garden office is going to be. I am planning of having the office heated by electric most likely a plinth...
I just want to check how I should be interpreting section 705.
705.411.1 states required disconnection devices, the first two indents covering final circuits and sockets, requiring 30ma and 100ma RCD's depending on rating of socket.
Indent 3 says " all other circuits" need 300ma RCD.
Does that...
Hi All,
I'm looking to pick the brains of experienced engineers who have dealt with TT more than I have please.
We have an installation on a site which may or may not be unique. There are four 12m x 12m units inline with each other, all connected as one building, with the plan to build a...
Hello All
So I'm not long out of my college days and unfortunately I didn't have a lot of exposure to three phase and commercial wiring systems. I have a three phase switch fuse Isolator rated at 200Amp supplied by the landlord. I need to split this across two Proteus distribution boards, the...
Been asked to quote for a job where the small power and lighting needs separate metering.
I’ve not come across this before as I usually only do small commercial, which I believe is exempt from this requirement. Anyone know the actual requirements as per regulations? Anyway I digress.
I...
As a retired electrician, I need to specify a new type B board for a village church. Principal load is heating. Ipfc phase to phase is 1.1kA.
Requirements:
23 final circuits, so don't want to exceed an 8 way board - pref no higher than about 625mm.
SPD therefore not to steal 3 MCB positions...
When there exists a single-phase transfer switch within a 3-phase distribution system, is it necessary for both feeds to the transfer switch to be connected to the same phase on the two sources?
Take for example the image below, note that the transfer switches are connected to the power sources...
Can someone sanity check my thinking please....
An 80 amp PME service head, tails to meter, 25 sq mm tails into an enclosed fused isolator with 60 amp fuse in it.
16 sq mm from cut out into a MET. Gas and Water bonding connected to the MET.
16 sq mm main earth from MET to the fused isolator...
For context i am in my 2nd year in college and my head is going round in circles a question in my project for which i need to select the right protective devices for :
A 32A distribution circuit from the main board to supply summerhouse will have a four-way SP-N distribution board fitted...
Cascaded Distribution Units.
Given how cheap populated distribution boards are; i've started to use them for almost every major junction in my home:
Domestic Main Distribution Unit >10mm swa > Garage Distribution Unit > 6mm swa >Spa Distribution Unit...
I'm doing a college design project and need to choose a suitable range of circuit protective devices for the whole contact. I've chosen and already done all the protective devices for all my final circuits but was curious if the distribution circuits need RCD protection aswell.
The project...
Need to source Type B 3-phase distribution & 3P MCBs for EVSE, 1P RCBOs etc. so my sparky can install. A 6-way 3P board will suffice. Wondering what the general concensus is.
Say, Contactum at the cheaper end vs Schneider Acti9 at the upper end.
Drawn towards the Schneider as super neat...
Hi all, existing office building that is being refurbished. Existing DBs (single meter for small power & lighting) need to be replaced. Should split metered boards be installed for landlord areas in addition to tenant areas?
Anyone else had the same issue? Since this company keeps replacing machinery very often the MCB's get changed a lot so over time the slider contacts doesn't engage properly anymore.
I may be seeking the holy grail here, but does anyone have any instant thoughts for a compact 3 phase distribution board that doesn't cost the earth?
I only need 1 outgoing 3 phase distribution circuit and 1 single phase final circuit, with an 100ma RCD main switch.
This is all outdoors with...
