    TP&N equipment rating

    TP&N voltage ratings for products, equipments etc are expressed alternatively as 440/250VAC or 250/440VAC (or 250/440 Vac etc), or in other representations. What is the "technically correct" format and in what standard/specification is it embedded? (is it IEC60050?). Thank you.

    Rating of RCD's

    I am an adult learner. I understand the theory behind the 30mA trip rating (for example) of an RCD but I need some help understanding what the 63A rating (for example) actually means. My understanding is that RCD's do not provide over current protection, that would be provided by MCBs (for...

    16, 32 and 63 as a rating

    Why are 16, 32 and 63 amps used as an MCB rating instead of 15, 30 and 60 amps? Best theory that I can come up with was when the UK switched to 230 volts this was to make up for the drop in voltage but have noting to back that up. Here are the ratings I'm familiar with: View...
