[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 392980, member: 13534"] What does this final circuit supply and where?? are the cables buried in walls and how deep etc... You need something to provide ADS within the required time in the event of an earth fault,, and i assume that the RCD will sort this, but what if some of the stuff supplied requires a 30mA RCD for shock protection purposes. Also, although there is nothing in the regs about disconnection times for L/N faults, these require disconnection within 5 seconds too, as, the formulas in the regs for the heating of cables in the event of a fault are all based around a max disconnection time of 5 seconds. You can calculate what the cables will withstand for other disconnection times, and there is a BS that deals with this, but i have no idae which one and certainly have not got one. Some of the others will no doubt give you a better answer, but they will need more information first!! john.. [/QUOTE]
