    Air circulation supply, no overload protection, no earth?!

    An agreed limitation of this EICR is that the air circulation unit circuit will not be inspected beyond the switchgear / controls due to no safe means of accessing units on roof of 4 story building. We're discussing how to resolve this. In meantime: I'm inspecting the air circulation supply at...

    Ring Fused Spurs and overload protection (433.1.204)

    Just a quick question from a new qualified sparky. So in 433.1.204 when it says the Iz of the cable must not be less than 20A for a ring final circuit. Does this include a radial fused spur taken off the ring final? If you install it in 2.5mm in trunking then the Iz is immediately down to 20A...
