    Derating a BS3871 following an EICR C2

    Hi, I’m interested to hear other views on BS3871 MCBs being changed following a C2 non compliance on an EICR for over rated protective device. Eg. A 2.5mm radial circuit protected by a 32A device and then swapping the BS3871 for another BS 3871 but a 20A device.

    Why is this OK, because it's a hard-wired device?

    I have a ceiling fan connected to a 12 gauge wire, which comes from a 20 amp breaker. The ceiling fan has 18 gauge (or smaller) wire. In effect, 18 gauge wire is connected to a 20 amp breaker. Why is this OK, because it's hard wired?
