What code would you give

[sparky b]

for a radial socket circuit wired in 2.5mm on a 32a MCB??

thanks

B.

 

[Sidewinder]

With the info you have given SparkyB, a 2.

 

[monkey5]

id say 2 too,

wayne

 

[nsbs]

if its a circuit of sockets i would give it a code 2.

Thanks SW & all, it's radial circuit supplying 2x twin sockets in a loft conversion, split load board on the RCD side.....

 

[Andy™]

code 2.

if it only fed one socket then things would be much different

+1

(2)

Oh, blinking heck,,, that's made it complicated,,, I'd say a code 2!

Thanks Noz, I think i get the jist

I think Andy was thinking that instead of coding it that you could just stick it in as a spur from a ring MCB.... Easy fix

Ah, now i understand!! Thanks again....

 

[sellers]

code 2 from me,

now if you had 4 heaters plugged in, I'd go for a 1. every situations different.

 

[kerching]

I'd give it a Code 5.....[may not comply now but, give it a few weeks when they rewrite the book again and it will probably be fine! {he said sarcastically}]... :coat

Out of interest Andy, would you code it 1 if it was only supplying 1 socket?

if it only feeds 1 DS then its no different from a spur from a 32A MCB.

 

[steptoe]

Im not so sure about that,

if its on a 32 on its own then I would argue not, its a defined radial circuit with an overrated protective device............

Code 2

Can't you just change with a spare 20a you may have in the van and put it on the price of the PIR your doing.

Unfortunately not, it's for a letting agent who wants it coded then quoted. if i get the report spot on it could mean a fair bit of work....

 

[Bacon]

Fair enough good point.

If it was the only thing making the cert unsatisfactory I would just correct it and fit a 20a mcb
