[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 2533, member: 250"] I would tend to agree with you KME... I have always understood it is at the point where the conductor C.S.A changes & thus the max current capacity changes, that additional fuse protection would be required... Although the FCU would limit the current drawn by the load, if a fault occoured after the socket position and before the FCU then the 1.5 is not sufficiently protected by the 30amp 3036. Also when doing your PIR you are noting areas of non-compliance with current regs, not the regs applicable when installed. The question is is it just a code 4 or code 2? If you adopt the stance of what regs were applicable when the circuit was installed, every installtion will always be considered satisfactory, because it was correct when it was installed??????
