Is it BS88-2?

[telectrix]

errm, dare I ask what should be put in the "Max Demand" part of the EIC (also under "Supply Protective Device Characteristics")..?

rule of thumb, add up your breakers and divide by 2.

 

[telectrix]

from your link

BS 88-2.2:1988 Industrial fuse systems
BS 88-6:1988 Fuses for domestic applications
BS 88-5: 1988 Fuse-links for use in a.c. electricity
supply networks
BS 1361:1971 Cartridge fuses for a.c. circuits in
domestic premises

so, having read all that, it appears that they are all now BS88-3 (domestic supply fuse)

Where does it say that?

Where does it say that?

i meant that, according to ian's link, BS1361 incorporated into BS88-3 (domestic supply fuses) but then it says BS and BSEN numbers withdrawn 2010. confusion or what. is it just the numbers they have changed , or the actual fuse characteristics?

I usually leave the ´max demand´box blank as its very unlikely you´ll be able to come up with an accurate number
