[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 478837, member: 6969"] The point is, the new interpretation of the regs says we must design the distribution based on the supply fuse rating, Sure we can put NV, but on the basis it could be anything up to 100A in there, then we must design for 100A? So 80A or 63A rcd's are no longer okay. Someone needs to tell the manufacturers. Or we fit an 80A switch fuse in front of every CU just so we know it has an 80A fuse? Or (as I suspect is the case) we ignore it as a load of old tosh. It has been safe like that for the last 10 years, so why is it not safe today? Who will be the first to get pulled on this at your assesment? [/QUOTE]
