bit of reassurance on coding
I have 3 phase 3x150a (checked with supplier) incomer feeding meter in 50mm tails- 5omm tails to 3x blocks from meter
from each block tails to various isolators all not exceeding 1m in the same cupboard, the highest fused isolator at 60a being fed with 16mm and other various isolators around 32a -60a
anyway Im judging between c3 or c2 as the demand can't exceed 60a just after your thoughts
 
As long as the tails are suitably sized for each switched fuse and the service connector blocks are rated at 150A or more (which I'm guessing they are if 50mm fits in them) then there no issues with current rating.
 
From the information supplied, I’m struggling to think of a reason why a code would be applicable.
Perhaps the OP could tell us why they think a code is warranted?
 
Please note my post No.4 It is basically the same principle as connecting onto bus-bars from switched fuses.

thanks for replies yes 200a blocks checked
the reason I was wanting to code was the fact that someone may replace a fuse in one of the iso for +80 and then we have an issue
which is quite possible as I found a fuse wire in a sub board had been replaced for a bit of 2.5
 
You can’t really code because someone might replace a fuse with a different size.
The same applies with boilers and extract fans.
You'd have to code every circuit on every EICR jut in case someone changed the OCPD in the future ?

EICRs report what is found at the time of inspection.


point taken thanks
