    Using disconnect switch over its operating current Ie

    Hello, What happens if we use disconnect switch over its operating curent Ie? For ex. If our circuit is motor circuit and current range is 140A. We need to use 160A. But we used a disconnect switch with operating current Ie as 125A not 160A. Making and breaking capacity of a disconnect...

    Current transformer metering producing implausible readings

    Edited - please read right to the end! Grateful for any advice regarding CT metering which seems to be generating inaccurate/implausible readings. Our charity has a commercial building with 3-phase connection into a busbar chamber at one end - let’s call us ABC. The rest of the chamber...

    Combining cables to increase current capacity?

    I have a problem and I think I have a solution but wanted to throw it out there to check it is acceptable.. First floor flat with two fuseboards - 1 24hr and 1 Night time economy. The boards are being supplied by two armoured cables coming from separate isolators/meters (60A) from the ground...

    Current= voltage/resistance

    It is said that current equals voltage divided by resistance however in what instance is that true? A 9-volt battery gives off 2.7 amps I can make a generator that creates 27 volts but only gives off one amp in what way work? You can't tell me that 26 amps is being burnt off by 180 ft of 28...

    Motor FLC, Rated current, running current and nominal current.

    Good evening, 1) Is the motor current on the nameplate always the full load current: the maximum current the motor can draw without there being damage to its winding insulation. 2) Often in motor books, I see the term nominal current? is this the current that the motor draws under normal...

    Opinion on current fusebox

    Hi, Moved into a property of late that has the following fuse box. Got advice telling me that it's safe, but doesn't meet current regulations, as well as that it could go in the next year, or last another 15. Want to get opinions on next steps. Ideally, I'd like to replace it with a consumer...

    What household items need a 6mA DC leakage current detector?

    Hi, Electric car charge points need a 6mA DC leakage current detector. This is supposedly needed since the EV contains a high voltage DC battery....and the insulation between the high voltage battery and the mains line and neutral may fail. Document showing Why 6mA DC leakage detectors are...

    Why is my power supply giving more than it says it should?

    Hi, I'm new to electronics and exploring the basics so please please forgive me. Currently I have a simple circuit with a 12V,1A PSU, bulb and mulitmeter. When using the multimeter to meaure the bulb's resistance I get 4.5 ohms and then 12V for the voltage across the bulb. According to Ohm's...

    DMM Showing Current without Current Source

    I am attempting to use my DMM to identify a parasitic drain in my car's electrical system using a Chinaseum-brand DMM with an amp clamp. After I set the thing to DC amps and before I clamp it to the target conductor, it displays a range between 0.1A and .22A. This makes t'shooting with this...

    Calculate current draw on unenergised circuit

    Hi, I’ve got a 24v 10A power supply, fed from a 240v 6A breaker, that is breaking, it feeds three 6A type b circuit breakers, the first one I replaced was clearly struggling like it was overloaded and the second just gave up, before I fit the third I was wondering if I was to measure the...

    PVC vs Galvanised Conduit: Current Capacity Enclosed In a Thermally Insulating Wall?

    Is there any advantage from the perspective of current ratings/de-ratings of using galvanised round conduit over same size PVC conduit? With both to be chased/buried in brick wall and plastered over? If so, where is this specified? Cheers

    Time Current Curves of Various MCBs and MCCBs

    Does anyone have a link to various time current curves relevant to UK MCBs and MCCBs in the 16-1,200 amp range? Specifically, how many times the handle rating does it take for each to trip at 10, 5 and 1 second.
