Hi all, this is driving me mental, if I have a Ca of 1.03 (25degrees ambient) & a In of 6A or any number you like then Iz will never come out greater than In unless I add another grouping factor just to make it work, which shouldn’t be necessary.
There has to be an explanation to this but I...

So, Iz has to be greater than In, but I'm not achieving this.

Ib=1.54A
In=6A for lighting CPD

Ca - 0.91

Iz = 1.54/(0.91x0.7) = 2.4A...

Evening all,
I am about to fit a solar panel to my shed and am trying to decide which inverter to get.
It will occasionally run a 2000w mitre saw (perhaps 2-5 minutes once weekly), this will be the highest wattage appliance used.
I was planning on getting a 3000w pure sign wave inverter but...
If the appliance has 0.5 sq mm cable, the UK plug should (maybe "must" because of the wording in the Plugs and Sockets Regulations) be fitted with a 3A fuse, or 5A if high inrush.
If the appliance has 0.75 sq mm cable or above, the UK plug should be fitted with a 13 A fuse.
Before you get...
Hi all,
I know tails are meant to be less than 3 metres in length and if not then a switch fuse needs to be installed.
What's the situation when the tails from a flat go from a communal hallway then into the consumer unit? (Approx 5m)
Do you just put a switch fuse next to the meter? (The run...
Hi,
Just a quick one, tested a ring today after new install, 2.5 singles in conduit. When i cam to do the end to end test i had these results:-
Flat ring
r1 = 0.44 rn = 0.44 r2 = 0.36
Kitchen ring
r1 = 0.23 rn = 0.23 r2 = 0.15
Not sure why the r2 was lower on both circuits if all are the...

Hi Guys,
Can somebody shed any light on why socket outlets rated at 32Amps or greater do not require RCD protection under BS7671?
Presumably theres some maths behind it?
And presumably the only exception is in a TT earthing System?
Cheers chaps
Hi all, I did a PIR yesterday at a largeish house (150m2). there is only 1 ring final circuit for all house sockets. Zs was 1.25ohms, vs 1.16 permitted maximum value. there is an RCD so additional protection in theory although the RCD did not disconnect at 5x 30 ma test. I will obviously...
