In our little 'real world bonding thread' the point about the old wylex CU with a wooden back was mentioned....
{ have a read of this thread if you haven't already look at it...
http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1377 }
So as there seemed to be a bit of interest from those guys interested in 2391 I&T....
Lets have another look at the CU... does this comply OR not?
what observations could be made about this fusebox?
Try & justify with appropriate regs or guidance notes?
Here's the CU picture again
A few facts need to know..
4 circuits..
1 x 5amp radial lighting u/s 1.0mm
1 x 5amp radial lighting d/s 1.0mm
1 x 30amp ring sockets u/s & d/s 2.5mm
1 x 30amp radial old cooker (now 3 sockets & FCU in kitchen) 6.0mm
NO electric shower OR electric over/hob/cooker.
[*edit*] NO immersion Heater [*edit*]
Total load should not be any problem with this 4-way CU
e.g. simple diversity calc 100% biggest circuit 40% remaining circuits 30 + (40x0.4)= approx 46amps.
All fuses are semi-enclosed BS3036 re-wireable.
from previous thread we know 6.0mm main bond to Gas & Water
16mm incoming tails
6mm incomming from MET to CU earth bar.
PME earth arrangement (TNCS).
well there you go..
Discuss?.... ?:|
(my money's on the VET getting it all spot on!! ; \ :^O:^O:^ O)
