Switching

COULD ANYONE SEE A PROBLEM WITH SWITCHEN 50 X7 WATT LEDS AT ONCE http://www.websparky.co.uk/acatalog/WS-inceptor.pdf

i'd split them between 3 or 4 switches. not because of the load, which is only 350w, but consider inrush, and if on 1 switch, a fault anywhere will take the lot out.

Why? Have you?

 

[i=p/u]

No but i have 154 too install in a room was thinking 50 each switch and 4 as last man out switch around that

Retractive switches and a couple of latching relays if they're going to be on all day or above couple of circuits for a bit of discrimination so you don't lose the lot.

NO , looking at under 2 amps
i know that there could maybe be inrush of current regarding the drivers so mybe use a type c breaker

What size of glands would i need for 16mm 5c swa???? Better by 2 pks cause the first is bound to get thrown

 

[Guest55]

no way would i put 150 lights on 1 circuit on a commercial install regardless of how small the current draw is.
50 over 3 minimum.

I have fitted 20 7w aurora's on 1 circuit... never again...

on occasions it would trip the 10A MCB when initially turning them on.

the inrush on the LED's are high.

treat them like a 50w downlight..

 

[i=p/u]

Yeah il use 6a type c and thinking maybe 6 circuits rooughly 25 each ..

What about that gland ive only ever used 20w isit?

Have a look on SWA's website there is a table :winkiss:

good idea ;-)

BW25 for 16mm 5C

might need a 10A mate

and why dont you read on the back of the SWA pack.. it will tell you what size gland you require..

probably a BW32 or larger

I would recommend a 6 gang Switch M8, not on one gang myelf, and have them on 3 circuits, 2 switches per circuit, I dooney like more than 8-10 lights on one switch myself and start feeling uneasy at more than 15 on a circuit, however in answering your question load wise no problem, but good practice suggests otherwise,JMO.

32 it is men... This is big job for me, cant afford to get it wrong...

You mentioned a 16mm 5-core that your installing.............is this to a load centre? If your going to split em up on 6 different circuits then you gonna be using like a 18 or 24 way panel?? Presume all on the same phase.
