Much respect to you Widdler for putting so much time and effort in. One very small point which doesn't affect the outcome at all. The question said
So wouldn't that mean ref method B [42 from table 4A2?] not ref method C, so table 4D2A column 4 = 1.5mm² carries 16.5A
or am i wrong ?
Selected reference method was C (No. 57).
In questions where it states within building materials, it refers to direct in masonry.
It's all down to interpretation of reference methods, the syllabus I use have in this example gone with the above. But your opinion of reference method B can also be justified.
It's one of the biggest debates I have with my guys.
that q has really baffled me....Is the MCB ratings differnet when talking about 400v/ triple pole ? if so how do i find out which type to use and therefore do the resulting equations become affected ?

Cheers for the reply, on reflection 57 is probs a better fit
I suppose we all have to carry our thermal resistivity meter in our kit as well
Thanks for keeping my brain ticking over!
The question is answered with the exact same approach and formula bar one. The design current (Ib).
With Three phase (400V), we use the following formula:
Ib =Power (P)
√3xUL
Not sure what other posters think but Widdler deserves that for this thread, it was good of you to help that lad out the way you did. Top man
