What fuse rating do I need to put in between the starter and leisure battery? I have a 12V 75AH Starter battery and 110Ah leisure battery. Cable size 16mm or 8mm. (this is for my off the grid van :) )
Hi guys
New to this forum and thought I’d ask the powers to be on here for some advice.
Basically I’m on a job installing some electrical instruments. The instruments are quite small and have come with the gland body , lock nut and ip washer on the outside . The reason for this is to reduce...
Hi all,
I noticed on my consumer unit that the main switch is rated for 100Amps, however the total load of all the MCBs is over 150Amps!
I appreciate that diversity COULD (?) be applied in that not every circuit would be simultaneously running at full capacity, but is the installation...
greetings :)
Was curious about the ceiling lights in the kitchen if they were fire rated or not.
Google was no help with model info.
There’s an F in a triangle symbol on the side, but I don’t know if that means anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gary
As most of the tags/ratings you can add to the post are positive we don't need to reflect on them but with regards to the negative ones, specifically the 'Dumb' and 'Disagree' options, can we ask you add a follow up post to express your opinion and why you are in an opposing stance.

Hi Guys, In IT UPS back up systems is there a general upper voltage rating before the device will compensate for overvoltage or is it down to each manufacturers spec. Have been experiencing reports claiming they have been alerted of overvoltages. This I will need to check out. Many Thanks!
The Incoming breaker model is Terasaki - S250-PE, 250 Ampere Frame rated for which Ics is 70kA, Category A breaker
The outgoing breakers model is Terasaki - H125 NJ, 125 Ampere Frame rated for which Ics is 85kA,Category A breakers
The bus bar rating is 65kA for 1s.

I have a roller garage door that my friend has fitted which i've noticed is connected to a socket to give it power, but then has a flood light attached to the control panel which is also connected to the lighting circuit. In other words you need to isolate sockets and lights to make sure the...
Hi chaps
A Wholesaler told me me this week that the RCDs in the new '18th' split load boards have to be rated at 100a because the 100a service fuse is only means of upstream overcurrent protection. But I was once told that service fuses, although marked as 100A on the cutout label are actually...
Hi
I’ve got a set of filament lamp Christmas lights, which I think is quite old.
It is a set of 80 lights, and the lamps are rated at 2.4V, 0.29W, 120mA.
The transformer is rated 24V(AC), 0.7A, 16.8VA.
It had 8 ballast lamps installed, so I assume 1 ballast lamp for a string of 9 normal...
Is it mandatory to have the bus bar rating equal to the Ampere Frame (AF) of the Incoming Breaker (MCCB) in the MCC, sub distribution panels. Is it okay to have the bus bar rating equal to the AT ratings?
Just a quick question got a new boiler going in soon and noticed that the MCB that will be used for the dedicated feed ( on kitchen ring ATM ) is 16amp is this correct rated MCB? or does this need replacing with a 6amp MCB with a 3amp fuse at spurr?
Cheers
I hope this is in the right forum

Well - I got pulled by LABC on first fix for planning to put isolators in cupboards for built in kitchen appliances.
So grid switches it is then.
I now have a 47mm back box chased in with plans to supply inbuilt fan, microwave, hob (it's gas - just for an igniter - apparently), and fridge...
Having used Amtech for so long I can't remember if the de rating factors are applied to the design current or the tabulated regs current, can anyone give me a refresher example calc, I guess it has to be tabulated if it's a current reducing factor
with a single UPS rated at 8KVA, 230v, stating maximum input current of 44A, would the over current device, cable size etc be based on the 8KVA installed load (the UPS), or, the actual load of 8A, connected to the output of the UPS ?
this is a fixed installation, supplying computer based loads...
