Hi
I have some baaic electrical questions that I need some help on please if possible?!
What is the difference between a MCB and a RCD? I know a MCB is like a fuse and trips a circuit if the current gets overloaded, but what exactly s and does a RCD do?!!! Sorry if I sound ignorant!!
Second point-how do you work out or calculate the thickness of cable needed to run a certain appliance. For eg if I need to replace my Immersion Heater, is a 2.5mm 2 cable a necessity ? How do you work out how thick a cable should be so you know what type to be!!?
Thanks for your help and advice!
