What does the adiabatic say?
OP

Theoretically but it will be deeper than 50 mm

What size OCPD are you planning on using for the 4 x distribution circuits?

The over current protective device that is protecting each 16mm T&E.

63A what?
OP
ElectricEddie
That is of course providing that I keep the set up in the same way distribution wise and don't use swa but my 16mm the is below 50 mm all the way through the run

63a 30ma rcd

I think I need to think about this a bit more and do some more calculations that you for everyone's input I will update in a couple of days

The thing is Eddie if you use an mcb for the distribution circuits then you have next to no chance of discrimination with the final circuits.
edit: An RCD doesn't provide over current protection.

He asked for the OCPD, not the additional protection!

Best thing I think you can do is sit down and revaluate the whole design.

Yer I am going to cheers guys the issue regarding distribution has been the bit I have been stuck I want to get it right hence seeking advice on here I will get someone with more experience to come in and have a look but looks like I'm going to run it in swa i will properly calculate the csa's and get back to this forum afterwards, I appreciate this should have been done beforehand
