Think I just made a boo boo

[Mr.Si]

My first wiring of sockets in a radial and I've not put the 2nd CPC in to make the CPC be a ring, in accordance with figure 7.6 on the OSG.

I guess I'm going to have to take up the floorboards and run a single of CPC...?

How do you all wire your Radial Socket circuits?


Ta,

Si

 

[IQ Electrical]

Is this for a circuit with high protective conductor current?

 

[Mr.Si]

Sorry, I don't have my regs book with me on my day job, please can you clarify or define?

It's lounge sockets circuit.

 

[malcolmsanford]

Si that is for circuits that have high protective conductor currents such as IT installations, not a bog standard radial

 

[Mr.Si]

Ah that's a relief.

Oh! I've just seen that too, for circuits between 3.5mA and 10mA, yeah?

Thank you. I didn't THINK I was doing it wrongly, but then I saw that reg and started doubting my self.

Thank you Malcolm and IQ

It's lounge sockets circuit.

Where a socket outlet circuit is expected to have a protective conductor current in excess of 10mA (in normal service) then additional requirements are needed for the integrity of the CPC.

That's what section 7.6 of the On-Site Guide is applicable to.

I work in IT support by day, but yes, the BRB is in my car. I found my OSG in my rucksack under my desk though, so had a quick look and found that indeed I had mis-understood section 7.6

I was going to look in the BRB at lunch, but thought I'd message you all here first, as I was unable to find anything after a quick perusal of the OSG.

But thank you all anyway.

but main earth and bonding is fine, ze zs rcd trip tests are ok etc etc etc so everything is lickety split

 

[chronyx]

Mr Si, you sound a lot more conscientious and knowledgeable than a lot of 'qualified' sparks I know.

Fair play for even bothering to check, most would just say "Ahhh it be fine".
