Thanks for the reply guys!!
So a 10A MCB it is!
Wow, I didn't know that the 50% was only for cable wrapped in insulation. Didn't think people really do that (I though covering with insulation was bad enough!).
Just another question. The 13A cable max. How does this value compare to the overload? Let's say an MCB allows 15A for an hour (I just picked these values out of the air), would that be bad for the cable, or reasonable?
I guess what I'm asking, is that the calculated figure of 13A, is that cold turkey max before you're a fire risk, or is that value for normal operation (with additional headroom for limited-time overload)?
Thanks
