Can anyone please explain what is the maximum earth fault loop impedance permitted for moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB)?
Also, BS 7671 says a disconnection time of 5 sec is allowed for breakers in distribution circuits. What is the difference between a distribution circuit and final circuit?

£1 each plus whatever the postage is i have b16`s b32`s and b10`s if they are any use to anyone. two d25`s aswell £2 each used. also one barnd new wylex 100a nhsf open to offers for the wylex, quite heavy as you know so postage should be around £10 for this one
I work in commercial and industrial mainly and tend to use the same old same old.
I came across an rcbo today that has no earth fly lead, how long have these been about then and what is the BSEN on them are they 61009 or what?
Cheers

They have all disappeared on a recall. But Wylex wont say what the problem is. Nor will they allow you to take back one you have brought. Anyone know more?

Hi Guys
Just a word of warning to you all. I have been working on an industrial site that has the old style wylex 3-phase DB's (nothing wrong with them). Whilst isolating circuits I have noticed that some MCBS are NOT disconnecting the supply when in the off position :eek:. Out of the 20...

Thanks.

I would like to know more about these circuit breakers.
I know how to set the overload protection(In x Io x Ir) which makes sense, but I don't understand the other optional settings. Don't worry you engineers out there, I'm not installing one.
