Hello,

Cant quite get my head around how you use this reg?
Lets say S =16
I = 657
k = 115
You have to work out t first of all so
t = K2S2/I2
so t = 7.843409 (to 6dp)
therfore K2S2 = 3385600
The reg says that we need to make sure that K2S2 is greater than the value of the let through energy...
I think the installation in a small communal house (CH) is from BS 7671 16th Edition. The consumer unit has no RCD protection on any of the MCB. I think the cable from the feeder pillar is fed into 100A main switch without any kind of isolator. The problem is that those who run those CH...

I believe there is a regulation that states in so many words.
For example:
If you were to tap off a 32amp cooker circuit at the cooker outlet in 2.5mm to supply a single socket for the ignition. As long as the cable is fused within 3m of the C.S.A. reduction it is acceptable.

Been doing a few bits at a house down my street. Guy had an EICR done a few months ago (not by me). He wanted the stuff picked up on this put right. Fair enough, I thought. So I had a look through the EICR. The installation is in generally good condition, but I have spotted a few things...
Hi folks
I have been asked to have a look at a standby brushless alternator(Sincro 25kva). It is used on a dairy farm & is tractor driven. There is a 70v drop when it is supplying 33amps resistive. It is unable to start a 2.2kw motor( volts drop to about 160v). Regulation is controlled by...
