[QUOTE="sparkytim, post: 325872, member: 8627"] Is this not a fixed load then? (See regs on OVERLOAD PROTECTION EXEMPTIONS). FAULT current protection is ALWAYS required but NOT OVERLOAD protection if its a fixed Load. So it is ok to have a CPD size in excess of the cable rating IF THE FIXED LOAD can not overload the cable. i.e a 0.75mm pendant flex is protected by a 16 Amp MCB because the LOAD it will carry will never exceed the flex rating.
