    Volt drop calculations

    Just curious as to when people are calculating volt drop, how close you allow your calculations to get to the 3% and 5% values before you decide to up the cable size? For example, if your calculations brought you to 11V for a general circuit would you be OK with that?

    Working on electrics with 2 supplies.

    I have little knowledge of PV. When working on circuits supplied by a domestic CU, is it fine to just have the main switch off in the CU or should you be isolating the PV as well? The stickers all over the CU's in this example all say to disconnect both supplies.

    Bs7671 v osg zs figures

    Why is it that the osg figures don't line up perfectly with the bs7671 figures for maximum zs? For example 16 amp type b breaker 0.8 x 2.73 = 2.18 in bs7671 yet osg says 2.2 Fair enough if they have just rounded it but they haven't rounded every one. For example 32 amp type c 0.8 x 1.37 =...

Appendix 4 (BS7671) gives the figures but why the different values between lights and sockets? 2. Also permitted voltage levels are -6% and +10% from 230V giving a min of 216V...

    I'm just trying to get some clarity on the above. We currently develop EPiSOLAR, software for people involved in Solar PV sales. At the moment we don't include any figures for panel degradation over lifetime, I've been in contact with MCS who have referred me to RECC who have been unable so...
