Just a few questions regarding the EIC.

1. Particulars of Installation referred to in the certificate.
It asks for "maxium demand" kVa or Amps - I am not sure what figure to put here. Is it the rating of the largest MCB or RCD?

2. The "In" rating of the MCB on the test results - Is this 30mA

3. The short circuit capacity for the overcurrent device - Is this the 6kA figure from the MCB/RCD - It's the resistor looking symbol with a line through it.

No - I'm trying to understand what the forms require for completion.

1. Maximum demand could mean anything, the max rating of the RCD, each MCB, the mains switch, max demand of whole installation, or max demand after diversity?

2. I'm 70% sure that the In rating data they require is the 30mA figure.

3. I'm 95% sure the SSC figure is the 6kA data for the protective device.
 
1. 50A
2. rating of MCB - 6A, 32A etc
3. 6kA

Of course not.

No.

Yes.

Now a question for you - what are you doing wrt EICs given how ignorant you are?
 
No - I'm trying to understand what the forms require for completion.
Why?

You can't possibly be completing one yourself.


1. Maximum demand could mean anything,
No, it can only mean one thing - the maximum demand of the installation.


2. I'm 70% sure that the In rating data they require is the 30mA figure.
You're 100% wrong - you have no idea what In means.

You're so funny. You really should know more about TLA's yourself, perhaps try TYOS for once, or GFY if you like. IHYSMP now - It's like when I got my first job the TAFLA were everywhere. Someone once said what the hell are you doing I asked you to MACOT and you gave me coffee. I said I've been making coffee for years now, I knew you wanted a cup of something, but WTF say MACOT, FFS KISS.

So just because I DKHTFOAF, your make that claim - perhaps you need to GAGSMW.

:D
 
In is not an acronym.

And if you really think you would be capable of completing an EIC if you could just find out what the terms mean then you are unbelievably, and hideously dangerously stupid.

Your ignorance of the subject matter is profound, and your failure to grasp how that means you can't complete an EIC is scary.
 
Grow up BAS - you really think it's dangerous if that I don't know what "In" means for the form if I can correctly calculate voltage drop, CCC of cable depending upon installation method, and then selection of correct MCB based upon PFC and demand of appliance on circuit? GAGYSMW.
 
Yes, I do, because not knowing what In is means that you don't know something utterly fundamental to correct, and safe, circuit design.

YOU ARE TOO IGNORANT TO DESIGN CIRCUITS PROPERLY AND WAY TOO IGNORANT TO BE ABLE TO TEST AND CERTIFY THEM.

But sadly, being a classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, you're also too stupid to realise that.

You're beyond help.

Go away.
 
So, tell me dizz, if I post an answer to this:
An unknown length of cable has all conductors with csa of 2.5mm. The circuit is extended with an unknown length of cable with Live conductors of 2.5mm and CPC of 1.5mm.

You conduct a resistance test on the TOTAL circuit:

R1+R2 = 0.4
R1+Rn = 0.3

1. Tell me the length of the original cable before you extended the circuit.
2. Tell me the length of new cabel added to the original circuit.

Use this data for your calculation

1.5mm = 12.1
2.5mm = 7.41

That should be all you need - Anyone?
and show that the original length would have to be negative, can we take it that you'll stop all this BS and accept that I was right to say what I did?
