BS 3036 fuses not allowed for new circuits!!

[HappyHippyDad]

This is what my assessor has told me!

He states that the BS3036 does not meet the 0.4s disconnection times and cannot be used for any new work.

I do not have a BRB so cannot see the disconnection times for a 3036.

Surely he is wrong? He is suggesting that we have to change the 3036 if we want to carry out any work.

Bit cross... I did not like him at all.. different bloke to last time!

.....

sorry, I do have the disconnection times for 3036 in the BGB...but surely it's dependent on the Zs?

It should be called the Vmin and were did the 0.95 value come out of EU again vote UKIP

 

[telectrix]

a recent poll of around 11,000 ppl came back with 80% saying get out.

Anyway, back in the real world.
Steve, ask him to come on here and post his opinions so we can debate the issue.

 

[telectrix]

And a another one the ZS values or down 10% so if it passed last year it could be a C2 this year.

how can it be a C2? been safe for 20 years. where's the potential danger?

 

[test electrical]

telectrix I was talking in general with this new amendment Cmin 230vX0.95 218.5volts this is the voltage you have to calculate your ZS from now my old man is right the older u get the more bull u get. Roll on 85 and don't let the chips get u down.

 

[telectrix]

this correction for Zs values is the biggest load of bollox°C since bonding metal windows.

1. how do you ensure that you're measuring @20°C?

2. how do you know the operating temperature of the cable under design load? rare you'll see it @ 70°C.

3. how long has your tester been standing to acclimatise it to the ambient temp.?

4. what difference does it make to the safety if the installation if the disconnection times are a couple of millisecs. over?

You missed one out.

5. How are we supposed to prove all of the above?

You only need six characters to post a reply so you wasted one there.

Seriously though, please offer up advice or opinion rather than one line answers.

Ok. :whatchutalkingabout

looked more like 1 word to me. this is 1 line. :ack2:

Chop a line my way!!!
