A bit of advice on a Minor electrical installation works certificate.

[Top Cat]

Took out a 6Kw shower, re routed 6.0mm cable to switched spur and ran 1.0mm to a pumped shower.
Is the overcurrent protective device for the modified circuit, the 32A 60898 breaker or the 3A fuse in spur?
Is the cable size the 6.0mm or the 1.0mm?

I am thinking it is the first in both cases but seems a bit ambiguous the way it is set out.

Cheers

I'd be saying 32 amp and 6mm.

 

[Octopus]

I'd say the answer is 2 fold, 6mm & 32A and 1mm and 3A

This old chesnut again.

 

[Top Cat]

That's what i thought but the modified part of the circuit is 3A and 1.0mm weird isn't it!

Don't think i have enough room on the form!

Haha
TC I started an almost Identical thread a few days ago.
Get with the program Boyo
It threw up some interesting discussions and the general consensus was to put it as a 6mm 32amp unless the Zs reading on the 1mm would constitute a failure on a 32a MCB then maybe record it as a 3a 1361 spur type thingy

 

[marcusone]

You modified an existing circuit. So 32amp and 6mm. But.................

Thanks Dave, any chance of posting the link? Sorry about not being up to speed with all the threads, i think about electrics for 99% of the time so must have missed yours on my 1% off!

The new MWCs (Elecsa ones anyway) have provision for 3 circuits giving you the opportunity to note both

Thanks for that just looked on my software package (Hollycroft) and has the same on there. Have to scrap the one i just did and re do it. Good job i don't have to pay for the certs! It gives me joy every time i do a cert knowing that the NIC are not getting a share of it! (apart from the obvious!)

So you could use the Elecsa one, record the Zs on the load side of the FCU for the 32A breaker, and then the Zs at the extremity of the circuit for the 3A fuse - and boy, if you can't get a reading to comply with the Zs for the 3A fuse you're in big trouble.

If its one or the other I'd say its the 3A fuse you are checking the Zs for!!

tin hat on

Think i will just ---- a coin!

Thats the one downside of Easycert, its based around the NIC certs.

The ELECSA ones are a good idea

I haven't got Easycert it is Hollycroft, brilliant bit of kit.

Was just saying that Easycert doesn't provide the option.

Just had a quick look on the holly croft site at their demos, and it actually look better than easycert.

Does it just run in word or something? Does it keep all you past customers details and stuff like that.

Think I might be moving over to Hollycroft TBH

 

[telectrix]

9 out of 10 cats would just guess it. how much is hollycroft, TC?
