Can you run a 2.5mm cable off a 32a breaker to spur or socket outlet?
I know the cable is not protected by the mcb for overloading, but its protected by the fuse in the spur or plug top? Its the same as spurring off a ring right? is it acceptable?
Dont know if im making any sense, but it is possible for the cable to overload in the event of a fault. Lets say the spurred cable's insulation starts to deteriorate. And the resistance of the insulation between line and neutral is 7.41 ohms, it would allow a short circuit current of 31 amps to flow. not enough to operate the protective device, but enough to do damage? A very unlikely scenario, but it could happen right?
PFC, if you have a reading of 30ka, and the mains is covered by bs88's. does it matter if the reading exceed the rating further on in the installation?
