Omission of overload protection for fixed loads.

[Outspoken]

Totally agree DW, if we can debate and use our collective experience to make life a little better for all then that is a success. I do not see such debates about winning or losing, unless we allow it to iterate into a slanging match, as you see on other sites, and then we all lose.

Claim you only did the 5 week course and use a bit of 4.0mm² SWA!!

for reference, I just checked, and this method is allowed under both BS7671 and MCS guide for solar PV installations, though I'd not realised it was before - it's actually spelled out in the new PV guide.

In very many cases the current limiting nature of the PV array and inverter(s) omits the requirements for overload protection and therefore the designer only need to consider fault current protection.

Only thing is, I'm a little wary about relying entirely on the suppliers fuse for fault protection, as would be the case if we were installing to a henley block on the tails, as it would blow the power for the entire house if there were a fault, and need the supplier calling out to replace fuse (technically anyway).

Listen to you, I have 8 years on you, can still jog 20 miles with a 30kg pack on my back in 2.5 hours. I regularly abseil and jog for 10 miles every 2 days...and about once a month do a 50 miles bike ride...

Over the years I have picked up injuries during another aspect of my life that resulted in broken arms (4), broken legs (3), broken ribs (9 total), shattered pelvis, 7 skull fractures, stabbed (Twice), shot (once) that resulted in fractured sternum (and 4 of the ribs), not forgetting dislocated shoulders, ankles, hip and elbow...and two compacted vertebrae.

Age is no excuse...

Erh, No...sometimes foolish, but never a damned death wish!!

I'd settle for his money, but not his body thanks...I think he broke just about ever bone in his body in the end and could hardly walk..

Sorry to hear about your finger, hope it gets better soon.

The other part of my life was 20 Years in the Reserve Para's which involved tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, The Balkans and numerous other places on active service...
