help with filling out eic

[Kate]

I have a couple of Schneider 60898,s type B and type C, both are 10KA. Surely they must do 6KA C types but i am not 100% sure on this TBH.

MCBs I usually use are 6kA for B types and 10kA C types

Does a type C MCB have a 10k breaking capacity?

i asked the tutor as we could not see the bc and he said it was 6kA for all the breakers in the board we was testing, he may be wrong im not sure

If you have a look in table 53.4 of BS7671 (page 149) it may be of some use mate

the 6k was just what my tutor said they all was in the board

Google...
Useful information for electrical form filling.
The first one should be by something called shepleyelectrical.com Its a pdf file with some good info. I would upload but unsure how

thanks that will definatly be useful but i wont be allowed that in my exam as i am only allowed my bgb onsite guide and a calculator haha

Also BS7671 Chapter 31 (page41/42/43) Worth a look regarding single phase 2-wire/single phase 3-wire etc

---- hope not. Or my last 50 or so test sheets are wrong. Someone please clarify.

Don't worry about it, its not a hanging offence to get BS numbers wrong, the operating characteristics for 61008 and 9 are the same anyway.

Hi i just wanted to update ya i went to college on friday and looked at the bs number on the rcd and it does say 61009 i new that i read it off the rcd, i asked the tutor why it said 61009 when that was for a rcbo and it should be 61008 and he said apparently it was a typo in manufacturing thats why the rcd's are on the test board.

The thing that i think is wrong is the fact he never told any of us that and we have been putting 61009 on every thing as that is what we have seen on the rcd but either way now i no it is wrong and wont make that mistake again.

Also i have my unit 307 practical exam (equivalent to the c&g 2394 so i don't have to do the 2394 just the 2395) tomorrow bright and early, i have to be there for 7am i am pretty confident about so hopefully i will pass it.

Good luck
