    New circuit design question

    They are, i have looked to buying ones on the larger side to help with the cable size. Is there an easier/better alternative?

    80A switched fuse is what I meant too

    New circuit design question

    I don't believe you will be proven wrong, I've looked and looked and looked! The only two options I see I have is either terminal blocks in the DB (70mm in 25mm out) or the preferred option, reducing pins.

    New circuit design question

    Thanks everyone for replies! I don't expect the load at any kiosk to exceed 10A, except for the last kiosk which will be around 40A I would suspect, but again, there may be more in the future (there is a barn close to the final kiosk which will likely want lighting and sockets in eventually...

    Based the calcs on 100A. Really can't help but feel youre here to call me out rather than help?

    New circuit design question

    I get what you mean though, when I did my 18th edition I'd say half the class were struggling with it, and i really couldnt grasp it, I wonder how they got through college and then couldn't handle the easiest hurdle of the lot, that is what worries me. I like the forums for being able to...

    I've got the mallet ready ?

    New circuit design question

    Probably not. The RCD idea was mainly so if there was more circuits in the future then it wouldn't entail more RCBOs (at higher cost) or if a different spark comes in and tries rewriting the wheel to get more money from the job too. I think seperate RCBOs is the way forward though to prevent the...

    New circuit design question

    I wouldn't call you out for it, you would be right had I asked this without having a clue but I haven't stated that anything I'm doing is drastically any different to what others have said. I was just asking a question as I felt maybe the wording in the regulations could portray a different...

    New circuit design question

    I have based it on 100A. And yes, that's what I am intending, albeit I may change the circuits to RCBOs at each kiosk instead of a main RCD. Except for the consumer unit in the mobile home

    New circuit design question

    Kiosk 1 incoming from UKPN with meter and fused isolator as you say Kiosk 2 ring main circuit and lights Kiosk 3 ring main circuit and lights Kiosk 4 provide power for mobile home All of these are subject to potential increase in the future, not sure what and when, that will obviously be...

    New circuit design question

    The size is definitely determined by the VD. I don't want an issue downstream i.e cable damage to take out the intake fuse? If there is an issue at the end of the mobile home on the SWA that isn't protected via MCBs along the way then I don't want the fault path to go all the back and blow the...

    New circuit design question

    Yeah i considered that too as I think i calculated at 100m that 50mm would be fine. I had said this but they decided to go ahead and purchase the whole run in 70mm

    New circuit design question

    However I'm considering the option of no RCD at the first and second DBs and use RCBOs and then one RCD at the final kiosk

    New circuit design question

    Sorry guys, I mistyped at work! The RCD won't be at the intake, it will be at the first DB and then the circuit will continue from there via an MCB which will be downstream from this RCD. Just for clarity I completely agree that 70mm should be the case all the way, i was just wondering if I...
