just a really quick question

[ELE]

what would i use a
32 AMP MCB for
16 AMP MCB for
6 AMP MCB for

i need to know what one will i need to use for the
lighting
sockets x 4
double pole switch
main switch fuse

so far in the comsumer unit i have
32 AMP, 16 AMP, 6 AMP

and i need to connect a
lighting circiut
plug sockets (double)
double pole switch.

( i also have a 30mA RCD what is this used for and what MCB or RCD do i use coz i'm really confessed)

cheers

what the hell are you trying to achieve???? Your question shows a complete lack of understanding of basics of electricity, and you should not be doing this work.

OR (more likely)

ask your lecturer.

double pole switch.er.. what are you askin?

( i also have a 30mA RCD what is this used for and what MCB or RCD do i use coz i'm really confessed)RCD is to detect earth leaks. try searching. as for MCB to use, how the **** should i know (im not mind reader)

cheers

go ask your lecturer. your not gonna learn anything by asking every to do the work for you.

Main switch fuse B6?

Bit small aint it.

Main switch fuse B6?

Bit small aint it.

would you get the picture if i highlighted double pole switchD125 should be adequate?

ie. andy recommends a 125A breaker with type D characteristics. i think. slightly overrated for everything i think, as the B6 is underrated. OOI, what sort of applications would the D125 be used for?

 

[Hacman]

Fair point misread.

As for B6 Lighting usually or ch alarm etc

edited, sorry. i know what b6 are used for!!!

OOI, what sort of applications would the D125 be used for?

probablly a huge motor driving high inertia machinary or something. fast trip range on a D125 is going to be 1.25-2.5KA. OUCH!

depends. might be the main siwtch for a lighting CU powering 1 100W light...
