CABLE LENGTH AND FUSE SELECTION
The table above can be used as a guide to selecting a suitable fuse or breaker for a given power rating of appliance. The cable size shown is for the standard reference method C (assuming grey 70°C twin and earth) and the maximum length of the circuit is also shown. Other factors may affect your…
SELECTING CABLE SIZE to match FUSE SIZE
Use the table above as initial guidance in your choice of cable size for the standard reference method C (assuming grey 70°C twin and earth) Other factors may affect your choice of cable size when you factor in higher ambient temperatures, different installation conditions, grouping etc.
QUICK GUIDE TO SPURS ON SOCKETS
Begin by deciding on the type of circuit that is already installed – RING or RADIAL Now select the correct breaker size the table will tell you … A. The minimum size CSA of cable to use B. The maximum number and arrangement of spurs for that type of circuit. C. If an FCU is…
ELECTRICAL DISCONNECTION TIMES
We are sometimes asked why the Wiring Regulations have disconnection times for electrical circuits. And what is the purpose of knowing how quickly a fuse or circuit breaker should disconnect an electrical circuit during a fault. The permitted time to disconnect from the electrical source and to make safe the circuit is very much dependent…
What is SELV and PELV
There is sometimes a misunderstanding of just what a SELV transformer is and how a PELV transformer differs to it. So what are the differences and why does it matter to the circuit in which they are installed and most importantly, how does that impact on the safety of the users of the installation? This…
HOW TO CALCULATE OHMS LAW
Ohm’s Law is one of the most important formulas in the electrical engineering world. It was formulated by a German Scientist, Georg Ohm, in the early 1800’s He was carrying out experiments with the new electrical cells invented by the Frenchman Voltaire. He discovered that there was a direct relationship between the voltage in a…
