Replace of 45amp Fuse with 50amp CB on 10mm2 cable?
Is this okay because of the 0.9 derating of fuse to overloads and because 10mm2 can handle 50Amp current. Installation in air equivalent double brick unit?
Hi,
I've just had some electrical work completed in the bathroom; I've recently refurbished the bathroom, replacing the old electric shower with a mains/mixer. I had bought an inline fan and a separate humidistat/run-on timer module with the idea that it could be installed using the old...

Could someone please explain to me what this circuit is used for? I believe it is a full wave bridge rectifier but I'm unsure as to what the zener diode is used for in this arrangement?
Thanks in advance
When doing an EIC for an additional circuit (which only covers that circuit), does the 'main switch/switch-fuse/circuit-breaker/RCD' section refer to:
a) the MCB you're adding for the new circuit
b) the existing main switch (whatever it is) for that board
c) [if the DB the circuit is added to is...
I am having a flat roof constructed with solar panels over. As it is a cold, vented flat roof I will be having 175mm of Cellotex insulation immediately above the ceilings which I am reluctant to dig into to fit downlights (which I have never been the world's biggest fan of anyway). My thoughts...
It's all coming out anyway so it's an acedemic question.
Would a Bill consumer unit be comparable with Eaton breakers?
An Eaton main switch and mcbs are installed so height differences won't be a problem.
I'm changing it for full rcbo with spd board anyway.
I'm following a spark who used an existing Panel Heater circuit, for new gas boiler circuit 6 months ago. The panel heaters were removed, so it's now a dedicated boiler circuit. I'm doing an EICR.

Could someone check my answers in the page aploaded please?
I'm not sure about my answers according the notes number 1 to 4 and also the stated circuits.

Hi everyone,
I've got a garage with a circuit that looks like this:
I believe it's a radial circuit coming out of the MCB with a current rating of 20A. It goes in to a switch containing a 5A fuse (fused spur?). It then has two wires coming from it: one for a bulb, and the other for a socket...
At a bread and butter job, loose socket, socket not working, change two lights.
Sticking out rather like a sore thumb was this (I removed the wire to check size):
I finished the other work, then said could I have a look at the shower as I've got a concern.
It was 8.5kw shower. 6 sq mm cable at...
