Hi Guys,
In our place we have several machines that are fed from 63A sockets. The supply cable to the machines is CY and currently
6mm has been used which is no good for 63A
But the 63A sockets are fed by a 32A breaker.
Is it ok to use the 6mm as the socket is fed by a lower rated breaker...

Hi.
I've searched for this on the forum but with no success.
Is it correct that unless specifically stated a FCU has no IP rating, or does it? Looking at App1 of the BGB I know they have to comply with BS1363-4 but cannot find any reference to an IP rating?
I've just done a EICR in a property...

Hello you clever motor men
ive not had a lot to do with motors, what I would like to is if for example a 3 phase motor is quoted as 6kw (forgetting the kva and power factor for a mo) would it normally mean 6kw overall or 6kw per phase ?
