    Breaking capacity of 3871 fuse lower than pfc?

    i have just done a test on a property and the pfc at origin of installation was 0.712ka. The 3871 mobs have a 6000a breaking capacity. I am a bit confused as I have read something about it always being higher anyway (16ka) for a fuse or main switch 100a or less. Any info here would be much...

    Cable Size And Current Capacity

    Hi, I have a question relating to cable size in 12v wiring on cars and the amount of current it can take. After looking at a friends car on the ignition barrel one of the cables went back to a 40A fuse, yet the cable its-self was around 2.5mm. How is this possible? or am I missing something? As...

    Current carrying capacity

    Morning The company that I work for has recently had an electrical inspection carried out. One of the findings consisted of 'ineffective overcurrent protection of cable due to rating of protective device and CSA of cable' Basically a 100A isolator was feeding a 16mm SWA. The SWA conforms to BS...

    Exceeding the current carrying capacity

    Current carrying capacity is a figure which is given to us by manufacturers, correct? Now, I've watched those videos of the guy trying to set fire to a piece of 1mm and it takes quite a bit more current to set a light. So for example, if you had a 9kw shower and a 9.5kw instantaneous unvented...

    BS3036 breaking capacity and PFC..

    Afternoon.... I have just completed an EICR and am unsure if the Wylex BS3036 fuses require a code due to their breaking capacity related to the PFC. Firstly I would like to identify if they are S1A, S2A or S4A as that would solve the problem of the PFC being 1.35kA, however I dont think its...
