I have to get you to think and read. Your minds is all over the place.
Back to the point. The design conforms 100% to the 18th and its amendments, offering full AFDD protection to sockets. If you cannot see that why are doing the job you are in?
And it satisfies Regulation 531.3.2(iii). Why don't you tootle off and read it.

You can't even answer the question @westward10 posted so you clearly have no access to the regs and anyone who quotes the regs as legal clearly has no understanding of their legal status

As for your profile
Manufacturer Yes you have manufactured some scenario that you think meets the requirements of the regs
Distributor And you have distributed on here as an absolute solution with no other point of view allowed
Supplier You have kept on supplying condescending comments and insults because you and your knowledge has been challenged
Inventor As the invention normally comes before the manfacture I suspect you have them in the wrong order in your profile
etc Who knows what that is

So I would say you are working to your profile
 
I the design does not conform to the 18th with amendments, then he can tell us where.
So far no has. All I have read is innane circular babble though. Now back to watching the football.
Your design is flawed and is not likely to 100% comply with the 18th Ed as you have stated multiple times.
 
531.3.2
(iii) in order to avoid unwanted tripping by protective conductor currents and/or earth leakage currents, the accumulation of such currents downstream
of the RCD shall not be more than 30% of the rated residual operating current.


And?
 
Same
You cannot explain why you think this. A bit of a know-it-all eh!

Your attitude gets really offensive when you struggle with people who have greater electrical knowledge than you. I remember some of your previous threads went the same way.

Keep it civil and a good discussion can be had.

And your proposed appliances tot up to?

Yes it is yours you have not answered any question that has been posted so far and have only chosen to respond with condescending comments about other peoples knowledge of the subject
So can we have some answers to the questions that have been asked in a coherrent manor
 
Will you drop the sharpen up there is absolutely no need for it in a civilised conversation and it really makes you sound like a bully

The point of this group is for discussion just because someone doesn't agree with you there is no need to belittle them when they present an alternative point of view

You are certainly living up to your profile of Manufacturer / Distributor / Supplier / Inventor - etc and in this thread you have met all four of the areas you operate in
Don't forget, he's also a Tech Writer
 
It is not a novel to read while in bed.
It's not a novel, but I suggest you should read it, whether in bed or not.

But there again you may drive yourself mad, as there maybe so much that you don't agree with or don't understand.
 
And your proposed appliances tot up to?
As all the heavy appliance are not on the final ring, well a TV, charging the laptop occasionally, fridge, maybe the occasional use of an electric kettle (kettle can go on the hob), and a vacuum cleaner used a few minues per day. Big load on a 32A final ring eh? ;)

Tell me where it does not conform to the 18th and its amendments? Round and round again. I will be waiting a loooooong time!

You have been asked questions by a number of posters and you continue with your inane comments without answering the questions asked
It is you who continues to drive this thread round and round as you seem unable or have an inability to answer fairly simple questions that members have posted regarding your hypothetical minimalist installation

Nope you are not understanding the question in relation to Regulation 531.3.2(iii). Do you not understand it?

If you read, and understood, this thread you will know I do. Earth leakage by plug in appliances. ;) I posted 531.3.2(iii), which the poster who brought up 531.3.2(iii). up never did.

The exercise circuit is sound and conforms to the 18th and amendments.

So the combined leakage will not exceed 9ma.
 
Why don't you answer the question instead of just throwing things back all the time?
I am not the one bringing it up. so. Are you saying it will? If so, explain.

The excercise design conforms to the 18th and amendments.

What leakage current would you expect in your design?
 
I asked the question this ain't the tail wagging the dog you know.
You did not ask a question. You developed an attitude pointing to 531.3.2(iii), not saying anything else. If you have something to offer the thread then explain it. So far you have not. The exercise design conforms to the 18th and amendments. ;)

I have been reading this thread and so have many others and it is clear you DON'T understand the regs and you only chose to post a small section of 531.3.2 at post #159 I'm assuming you have read the rest of the section so you SHOULD be able to answer the question asked earlier in this thread

Ahh now we find you are reading the wrong regs

If you cannot see that get out of the business. Someone who cannot see it should not be going into people's houses.

Utterly pointless posts, as most of yours seem to be.

It's a shame because you do seem to have some electrical knowledge, but not enough to allow you to maintain a good debate on the subject.

An intelligent mind, but one which fixates upon preconceived notions.
 
maintain a good debate on the subject.
Trying to explain to three know-it-alls who cannot see that the the exercise circuit is sound and conforms to the 18th and amendments, is not debate.

If you cannot see that it conforms get out of the business. I would not let you into my house to do anything.

Part of the design of an electrical system should take into account earth leakage current. How do you know it complies if you can't answer the question?

No good chucking teddies out of cots and getting offensive, just admit you are out of your depth. No shame in that.

You've been asked time and again to explain, but simply repeat the mantra that the installation would be compliant with regulations.

Please spell out, as though to a child, how your proposal conforms with the aforementioned regulation.

This must be very embarrassing for you now John. You've backed yourself into a corner.
