Hi all still feeling new to this game even after 5 years or so
Going through a test and having trouble with finding the max zs readings FOR bs3871 breakers
I know I can just multiply the old ones by 0.95, but was hoping someone had kindly already done a table with amended readings.
I also...
Hi,
Am running a radial power circuit in 4mm fp200 with a 20A rcbo but am a bit worried about the voltage drop. I have a 70M run clipped direct and by my calculations I will need to go to 6mm. I am using table 4d2 but don't know if there is a table for fp200.

Hi all sorry for this silly question but i cant seem to find the max Zs table for a 10A BS88-2 Fusein the osg. I can find it in the BGB table 41.4
10A = 7.19 ohms and i know to multiply it by 0.8 (7.19 x 0.8 = 5.75) for rule of thumb but i would like to find the right table in the osg
Hi all,
Would a 10.5kW Shower require 10mm or 16mm twin and earth?
I've been doing cable calculations at college and im not 100%.
Cable Length = 20m
Protective Device = 50A
Wiring method = Above plasterboard ceiling not exceeding 100mm insulation
I belive 10mm is sufficient but my calcs...
Doing some testing today and came across something I was hoping to get cleared up.
The maz zs of a c type 16amp 61009 is 1.44 ohms on table 41.3 however on table 41.5 it states that a 30ma 61009 under 32amp can have max zs of 1667ohms.
Would you write on test sheet maz zs 1667 ohms and...

I was hoping someone would give me an idea of what the 0.1 sec - 5 sec referrs to in the table to the right of Fig 3A4 (BS7671).
Any Fault current that exceeds the straight line I thought meant instantaneous disconnection? (i.e 0.1 sec (probably faster)), but the table infers that it could be...
I have been asked by a customer to solve a problem, he has a 3 phase 20A D curve breaker supplying 3 single phase breakers 2 x 6A and 1 x 2A. The 6A breakers are supplying 2 pumps with a load of about 4A each. When 1 of the pumps are turned on, the 20A trips. Any ideas why? The earth loop...
Which table do you use in BS7671 for volt drop for LSF Twin and Earth? There does not appear to be a table for LSF cable. 4D5 refers to the grey PVC cable and is not the right one to use for the white LSF. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all,
I need to put in a 3 phase supply for a piece of equipment in a commercial unit. They've sent the spec sheet for the item over and all it says is
Current type (Ph/V/Hz): 3/420/50
Power rating (kW): 7.8
I just want to clarify if it's 7.8kW per phase or 7.8kW total over all...
Hi guys, hope all had a good christmas.
After seeing a piece of driftwood made into a very nice table lamp as a christmas gift it has given me the idea to make a few myself as a hobby and maybe sell them locally.
I live very close to the sea and am sure to be able to source plenty of driftwood...

Hi guys,
We have recently had some work done by contractors at our building.
Double socket in an office, fed in 2.5 FP200, on a 32a MCB.
First question is I wanted to look at the current carrying capacity for FP200 but wasn't 100% which table it is. Is it classed as mineral? Making it 4G1A...
PAT testing table lamps. There is no CE or Class II mark (in fact no markings of any type). Opened up the plug to check the fuse and found no E just L/N.
Ran an IR test anyway which they passed, as did the plugs/fittings etc.
They are not SELV as take a standard bulb and no transformer...
