Hi,

If you don't know the answer to this question, I assume you've not read or even got the BGB or the OSG.

So should you even be contemplating this??

You state your an Electrician ... i very much doubt you are in any way competent to do this job ... sorry to be harsh but straight away you have a OCPD higher rated than your CCC of your cable.... id put a bullet proof vest on for the comments coming your way and ring McDonalds and tell them your good at flipping burgers!

PS welcome to the forum

Seriously this is a question to embarrass a 1st yr apprentice!

You state 16th 17th edition this would indicate yrs of experience through both editions of the reg's ..im lost for words seriously :nonod:

32A MCB and 2.5 SWA don't really go together......unless your doubling up conductors.....

Either for safety reasons or because it's a wind-up I'm going to close this one.
