10 amp lighting MCB

[Guitarist]

Is anyone using 10 amp MCB's with 1.5mm for domestic lighting circuits yet (as per electricians guide to building regs) or are most of you still going with 6 amp?

Wondered if anyone had come across any lighting switchgear not rated at 10 amps

harsh mate i only wanted advice! i am competent in electrics i just havent done certain things yet like that.. i know how to work out fuse rating for say the heater but i jsut wanted to calculation for the cable size id personally go for a 10mm cable for that 9.6kw shower. also with the smoke detector i just wondered if your aloud to run if off another supply say a fused spur? i have it on its own circuit anyway im just asking the question, thats what this site is for is it not!?

Whats this got to do with this thread?

We're talking about 10 amp MCBs not 10mm cable:waving:

Demkamp,
Keep going my son.....
Be determined......
and soon all will be revealed post by post, you'll be able to cobble something together with 1.5mm2, 6mm2, 10mm2....
There was talk once that if the conductors were superconducting (something to do with buckie balls) you'll be able to run the cables just under the wallpaper..

hi there just wondering any calculations for working out cable size. so example i have a 9.6kw shower what breaker and cable size do i have to use?
also with wired in smoke detectors can they be wired say off a socket circuit or a fused spur in use or does it have to have its own circuit?

thanks

Im sure I've seen you ask this on another thread. Seems random to jump in with cable calcs for a shower when the thread is clearly 1mm lighting cable.

For when you don't trust customers changing all those efficient lamps you just put in :icon4:
