Hi All,
I recently installed a new dist. board with 95mm sq 4 core swa cable. I used 35mm sq earthing cable even though I should have used roughly half the size of the live conductor. I used this because I had it, and was hoping it will be ok. I now fear that the cross section of the cpc...
Hi. Well the problem is pretty difficult to describe (as always). Basically I just had a new isolation switch fitted and was told that I needed a new 100A fuse which enters the building fitting so I booked that but I don't think the 100A is anything to do with this issue.
Fast forward later in...

Hi guys
Sorry to go over old ground but having read the older posts on sizing the cpc for a 16mm distribution cable I just thought I'd check to see if I've got it.

Do many of you come across new install distribution boards which don't have any RCD testing labels, last test and next test labels that come with every board you buy, or circuit labels? I've come across loads lately and it bugs me like mad.
Hi all.

I'm doing a periodic inspection and am unsure weather to fault this,
I have a generator which is the source of my supply, this then feeds two main distribution panels out of the main switch. So there is two 3 phase supply cables out of one MCCB. Does 314.4 come into play or does it...
