Doing a favour for a friend and using it as a learning experience as well.
Guy is going into a new unit with an existing 1ph board. he has a 3ph machine so wants to upgrade mains etc. New board will supply everything in the small industrial unit from heating/lights through kitchen sockets.
I've done the calcs for A/phase etc but then started thinking about what equipment to specify. Most boards come with a main switch included and an option to upgrade to RCD incomer. However with this you get no diversity to circuits. So I was thinking that any new install has to have a c type 100mA rcd incomer with b type 30mA rcbos to any single phase circuit on the board................. Or am i just complicating things?
Many thanks in advance for the advice.
