Hi all,
I am installing a Radial A2 circuit which by rule it should have an MCB of 32Amps, but when I reference the table 4D1A using reference method A or B, current are 26 and 32A respectivitly..
So the question is why we go for a 32A mcb and not 25A one?
Thanks
I need to replace this old RCCB with a suitable replacement.

Hi to every one, would it be possible to know which electrical wire would be suitable for a 6A MCB taking into consideration that the distance from the consumer unit to the device is 15 to 20 mts approximately, I am in doubt if this cable might be 1.5mm, 2.5mm or perhaps 4.0mm. I am installing a...
I am looking to join 2 cables for an outside security light. The mains cable on the existing light is 8mm flat twin. But the new light is a 6mm round twin.
I can't rewire as it goes into the wall to the socket. So was looking at an ip66 connection. But can't find one that does both sizes.
Any...
Customer has a rise-and-fall pendant - the sort with 2 pulleys and a counterweight metal ball - and because of the length of the drop (about 2.5-3m) the person who installed it had to replace the cable that came with the fitting with their own, which has a sort of woven sheath. It looks nice...
