    Voltage Drop Calculation vs OSG

    Hi All, Hoping to get opinions on Vd calculations for a 1.5mm2 downstairs lighting circuit with an estimated length of 128m! Length is due to loops at switches (neutrals required) and switched lives feeding various strings of lights. Parameters: Mv/A/m - 29 ib - 2.38 L - 128 Method 1...

    UK Why don't values in the OSG table I1 match those calculated?

    Hi everyone. I am really puzzled by this, but I suppose there is an obvious answer / reason! Anyway, Table I1 in the OSG says the mΩ/m value for copper with a CSA of 25mm2 is 0.727. However, when I calculate the R value using the formula: I get 0.688... Does anyone know why the values aren't...

    Diversity allowance on sockets based on OSG

    Hi, Reading the on-site guide it’s states for socket outlets appendix A table A2 row 9 that 32A ring sockets in an office it can be 100% of the largest circuit and then 50% of the remaining circuits. However I have came across a calculation were the original designer has assumed that they know...

    Standard symbols for electrical diagrams. Similar to OSG fly leaf.

    Afternoon Ladies and Gent's, I've got a level three assignment to add all the necessary installation symbols to a hotel and swimming pool. DB's, FCU's, switches et-cetra. Is there a standard for these or even a recognised set of symbols? I've searched as you would expect but there seems to be...

    Diversity Table A2 OSG P118

    Morning all, Thumbing through the OSG guide today and I have a couple of questions regarding the above table. Firstly, just a idiot check but electric showers would fall into no.5 water heaters of the instantaneous type. I know this but so often doubt myself. Secondly, No. 9. Am I right...

    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 =...

    Another OSG error I haven't seen mentioned... RCD and zones

    Eh up :) We all know about the duff max Zs tables in the OSG (Table B6) and GN3 (Table A4)... in fact, I've only just recently updated my GN3, and I'm pleased to say they have reprinted it and it now has the correct tables in. I've noticed in my (early-purchased, with dodgy table B6) OSG that...

    AMD 3 Zs tables and GN3 and OSG corrected tables

    For reference these are the Zs tables from BS7671 Amendment 3, provided by Amberleaf. I have cleaned up the scans a bit which is why they may look a bit odd round the edges. Remember IET have also issued the corrected tables for the latest GN3 page 121 table A4 and OSG table B6 which are...

    BS7671, OSG et al - Effective Markers and Referencing

    A bit of an odd one, I'll admit, but I'm relatively late in settling on a system of annotation to help me find common information fast and to cross-reference it for review. I know this isn't terribly exciting, but I'd be curious to hear / see how others have implemented their system, and what...

    OSG Table 7.1(i)

    Table 7.1(i) lists standard circuits that can be installed without calculation. The radial circuits are all listed as having a terminal load. Can they equally be used for socket circuits? Just to settle an argument!

    Model EICR in OSG contains mistake(s)

    Just noticed that the model EICR in the OSG contains at least one mistake ... Nominal Frequency filled in as 150Hz ... I sense an IET corregendum on the way.
