[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 503492, member: 250"] Not after any proper answer to a problem as such.. more just a thought that crossed my mind whilst doing a job earlier this week... I was installing a new cook circuit, and fitted a Crabtree cooker plate.. e.g. [URL="https://www.toolstation.com/crabtree-45a-cooker-outlet-plate/p22152"]https://www.toolstation.com/crabtree-45a-cooker-outlet-plate/p22152[/URL] Which is rated @ 45Amps... And.... If we all know that cables and accessories should be capable of carrying the normal currents allowed by the protective device... technically you can't connect a 45A cooker plate to a circuit supplied by a 50A MCB... But Crabtree.. DONT actually make a 45A MCB, its 40A or 50A... i.e. Electrium product info jumps from 40A to 50A on their single pole MCB's.. [URL="https://www.electrium.co.uk/media/20150323155033_0_CrabtreeCCP.pdf"]https://www.electrium.co.uk/media/20150323155033_0_CrabtreeCCP.pdf[/URL] I Know MK have done a 45A MCB for a very long time now.. And Crabtree are not alone in this example, numerous other manufactures do not produce 45A MCB,s So my thought was.... What is the point of a cooker connection plate rated @ 45A, if very few manufactures make a 45A rated MCB ????????????? :C [/QUOTE]
