Discuss RCD Rating in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

If you wanted to do a really quick calc for max demand, without consulting the diversity regulations, then add up all the breaker ratings and then multiply this summed value by 0.4

That value won't be too far off but this is an approximation AND NOT the recognized method for doing it.

You'll only ever get an approximation, whatever method you use!!!!
