    EV ultra cable, current carrying capacity

    Hi Doncaster EV ultra cable: Does anyone know what the current capacity of these cables is given particular reference methods? The spec sheet just says 'Max current' 45amps (for the 4mm) but it doesn't state the reference method. The manufacturer does have a very handy cable calculator...

    USA Does the ground wire need to be the same size as current carrying conductors?

    Running #8 to AC condensor. Does the ground wire need to be #8 as well?

    Line carrying voltage, neutral no voltage

    Hi all, I have been trying to work out why all the up stair sockets have voltage coming into the line but none of the neutrals. The ring is on a 16amp mcb. Any ideas why? Thank you in advance

    current carrying capabilities

    So came across some old aluminium T&E yesterday, the smaller stuff with only 3 strands in the live, 3 in neutral and single strand for CPC. I cant remember its maximum current capability. Its been used for running an immersion tank on a B16 MCB, about 10m from the dis board, mostly under floor...

    to label or fault when carrying out EICR

    a question that i have to ask sorry if it seems daft in advance, when carrying out a PIR,EICR you come accross boards that dont have labels on them , do you put this on report as code 3 ? or do you just take the time to put a new label on the board ( assuming you have them to hand)

    Last year at night I was carrying out Electrical Inspection and Testing and Found the 300mm 4 core SWA sub main cable to a chapel was recording 0.09 ohms on carrying out high insulation resistance testing between phases. 25 thousand pounds later its rectified. Would love to hear other people's...

    Cable type ... current carrying capacity

    I'm looking at an install of a double oven cooker ... 11.3kW maximum demand ... and rather than use 10mm T&E for the final connection I have been looking at the CCC tables in Appendix 4 Table 4E2A on page 368 (3rd Amend of 17th) states I should be able to use a cable with 6mm CSA conductors...

    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...
