Final Circuit - A circuit connected directly to current -using equipment, or to a socket-outlet or socket-outlets or other outlet points for the connection of such equipment.

Now look up the definition of circuit, which is mentioned in the description you have given.

Sorry man. I may have misunderstood. I was talking about for example, 3 separate radial circuits connected to 1 MCB.

But that doesnt matter, you still only have one circuit.

So I read it as:

A final circuit - A radial circuit supply 5 sockets on a 20A RCBO. If you had three of these final circuits supplied by a single MCB this would be in breach of 314.4.

I cannot see how it can be read any other way.

One OCPD one circuit. It can not be anything else.

It definitely says 'final circuit' 5 times in that reg.

You still don't seem to accept the point Mr Rail

If they are connected to one mcb then the three radials become one circuit



get the joke.point/Rail ? lol

 

[Guest125]

So are you saying that if you have three rooms. Each room has 4 sockets on a seperate radial. If connected all to 1 OCPD then you would class this as 1 final circuit?

 

[Plonker 3]

No just one circuit. Thats all it is.

I get what you are saying but have never heard that explanation before. It suprises me a lot. So in your opinion when would 314.1 come into force?

Post reported..... LOL

I will be honest mate but my brain cannot comprehend that. Computing failure....

As defined in Part 2 of the BGB

Circuit- An assembly of electrical equipment supplied from the same origin and protected against overcurrent by the same protective device(s)

Unless I am mistaken that reg is about division of installation

Yes but there is another definition for 'final circuit' as detailed in 314.4.

I really think it is clear that final circuits should be connected to different circuits.

Then you need to re-calibrate your brain.

Multiple radials from one OCPD are classed as one circuit which is spurred at the OCPD.
Dividing these branches into separate OCPDs would make them individual circuits.
This is by definition, and cannot be anything else.

This is covered under 314.1 & 314.2.

 

[Plonker 3]

The definition of "final circuit" mentions "circuit" so the definition of circuit needs to be referred to. Which is also covered by 314.4

Nope. We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.
