I'm currently doing a project on a service station for college I need to work out maximum demand for 3phase 0.5kw motor circuit with power factor of 0.8 and efficiancy of 95%
Can any one help point me in the right direction of how to work this out???
when filling in the test cert for a new extension ( 4 circuits ) Do you have to fill in the max demand for the whole installation or just the work you carried out and tested?
Hi All,
Im in need of a little advice, I've been asked to change a consumer unit that is over 3 meters from the main feed! The location is in fact in the basement of a shop down stairs! So if you need to isolate the tails you would have to gain access to the shop and then to the shops store...
What is the maximum allowed distance the fuse box, meters and isolators can be from the heads (the points at which the cables come in from the electricity board to the building)? I have some points which come into a basement flat but I'd rather have the isolators etc moved into a communal...
Hi, the maximum demand (load) in a property is as follows:
(4x32+4x6)0.40 = 60.8 amps and the main fuse rating is 60 amps.
Does this comply, taking tolerance into consideration? What is the tolerance in this kind of situation? Should I ask DNO to upgrade the fuse and the tails? Many thanks!
Hi Everyone,
I'm going to a house to check an rcd that keeps tripping, think it's an 80A 30mA. I'm thinking of upgrading the rcd as it is the main switch for the consumer unit.
Anyone know what I can use? Like time delay, up it to 100mA, not sure if they're not for domestic use?
Cheers all.
Hi
I am in process of installing downlights in my brothers property and he currently has the following already installed:
downstairs front room 12 x 50w downlights
Hallway 4 x 50w downlights
Current lighting circuit mcb is 10 amps.
He now wants the following installed:

Hi,
we have a 400A MCCB Bs60947-2 installed and the Zs reading measured at device is 0.2 ohms the manufacturer has listed the Zs value for this MCCB at 0.045 ohms , i have been informed by designer of circuit that because the Earth fault current is known to be 1537A he has just to tweak a...
Just completing the testing of a transportable catering unit.(chip van). Within the NICEIC REPORT I must complete,
a.MAXIMUM TOLERABLE FAULT CURRENT(is the same as PSCC)?
b.MAXIMUM TOLERABLE UPSTREAM ELI.(is this the same as Zs)?
If so how do I achieve these values when the Power...
Hello there,
I know this may sound like a daft question but I am currently looking at A job where the Ze reading is 0.37 in a distribution board.It looks to be a TNC-S system by checking where the board is fedd from at the mains cut- out, the run from the mains is about 70 to this board and...
I've recently completed a part p defined scope course but all of our testing was on TNS or TNCS systems, in our house we have a TT system and in the OSG I can't find much information on the maximum earth fault loop impedence, just says that it is likely to be higher than their TN tables? I might...
Is there a readily available current detection device that can be used to disconnect one circuit as the other exceeds a set current? With or without integrated contactor?
This is for use in a large static caravan which has many high-load appliances such as 2.5kW washer, 2kW tumble dryer, 2kW...
Hi again
I also have a query about determining the installations maximum demand for when an electrical installation certificate must be filled in. I have calculated the demand for my test scenario using Appendix 1 of the On Site Guide as 103.92A using the breaker values. However I have seen...
