    little help with volt drop calc

    Hi everyone just a little confused,when calculating volt drop using table 4Ab do you measure the voltage of the installation and use that value to calculate or do you just use the 230 volt value

    maximum meter tail length and composition

    In order to meet current regulation the maximum meter tail length should be no more than 3M and if over a 100amp fused switch should be fitted - is that correct. (This guidline is not in the iet on-site guide except that this maybe specified by the distributor) 521.10.1 mentions that the tails...

    maximum shower size ?

    bit of help please guys, I have a CU with a 40 amp breaker feeding the electric shower, its on 10mm cable. My calculation is 8500W div by 230V = 36.9A, therefore 8.5 Kw is the largest shower but mate says 40A with 10mm is fine for 10.5Kw. Does an electric shower class as water heater...

    A small panic about maximum demand!

    Hello all, I will be getting assessed very, very soon now! I’ve completed the consumer unit change and am just having a bit of a panic as I’ve worked out the maximum demand and it exceeds the supply fuse by quite a bit. I realise the assessor is not likely to questions my figures so I could...

    Maximum Zs clarification

    One of my clients asked me if there was a maximum Zs value when it came to testing the Main incoming supply of a TN-S system, as i'm not fully sure my gut instinct was that it depended on the type of system. Can someone assist me?

    2392 Question: Maximum earth loop impedance for 20A BS88 (gG) fuse

    What is the maximum earth loop impedance to BS7671:2008 for a circuit protected by a 20A BS88 (gG) fuse giving a 5 second disconnection time is: A: 7.42 B: 2.91 C: 1.84 D: 1.35 The green book says the ln for this type of fuse is 78A p299, that doesnt give you the right answer though. :confused5:

    "acceptable" leakage current on a domestic cooker

    Just got back from a call-out, simple case of cooker taking the RCD out. A twin oven, seems in good working order so after a bit of a faff managed to get a clamp over the cpc at the switch (no idea where the house rod is!) and sure enough the bottom oven is leaking about 10mA when firing. So...
