[QUOTE="binky, post: 520700, member: 490"] a very good question. This brings us back to a long winded discussion about loading of cables, ie if what is conected to the end of the cable cannot overload the cable, then the MCB is more or less irrellevant bar short cct protection. It's the same argument that applies to commercial lighting, ie a cct wired in say 2.5mm cable on a 20A MCB with 1mm flex drops to single light fittngs. As long as the light fitting cannot over load the flex drop cable, it is considered acceptable. [/QUOTE]
