tazz,
If you look at BS7671 you will see that it agrees with yourself, Tony, E54 & myself over this.
Once again the NICEIC have no clue.

Point taken...and I believe the op has looked for conformation on this also. But would like to remind people that the BSI is conducted by the same committee for all BS standards.

Not quite true tazz.
BS's are generated by different committees depending on their area of speciality.

On electrical you will find same committee members on BS7671, BS5839, Bs5266 covering all electrical aspects.

Some electrical aspects, not all.
Are you part of this, or would you like to change the "status quo"?

I was trained at BSI House London......and would like to think my trainers and writers consulted each other...with their names being on all bs related documentation.

Found it. You are right BS7671 does cover it 433.3.3

thank you all for the guidance.

 

[tazz]

Jamezzz hope all goes well with your project, I know its a mine field...but with the right docs you`ll be fine....good luck.

During my apprenticeship I worked on Mather & Platt motors. They were rated at 2xFLT (full load torque) virtually indestructible.

I’ve seen them on fire but still running. The only protection they had was a 1000A OCB

I've worked on M&P stuff also, but not fire pumps, they were a central hydraulic system for a foundry, so water based fluid, as you say almost indestructible.
Mind these did have starters and OCPD's as they were not for fire duty!
In fact one of them failed once and popped the overpressure disks from a couple of the 60ft tall accumulators, the disks were never found...
