Whilst I can see why a time seved spark may feel annoyed at having to prove their ability, Its for our own benefit to keep cowboys out, or for that matter to ensure you are up to current legislation. As a driving instructor we have to do check tests and cpd-so being a profession I think its a...

Yeah I suppose-but what would the other 3 things be lol

But at the start of the circuit being mcb or fuse is 1 factor-what other 3 are there at start of circuit affecting carrying capacity? I see what he means though the volt drop stuff isnt directly responsible for what the cable can actually carry-but what is acceptable for volt drop. The size of...

Oh ok sorry-thought you meant you were placing the switchfuse as a means to another cu in say a garage-not directly as a radial for garden. Thanks
