Guys needvadvice please
I was asked to carry out an annual inspction of a DB recently
There are 12 in number radial circuits suppling sockets wired in 4mm singles protected by 32A mcb the cables are enclosed in metal trunking and supply 13a socket outlets , are the mcbs now overated as the cables are now rated at 28A maximum due to the wiring method and should I also be fitting rcbos as the installationis is classed as unsupervised
It is a large office and the socets are for IT equipment my intention are to downrate the mcb or rcbo to 25A if they are available.
Thanks Dimspark
