OK, given that I regard it as ambiguous, I'm happy to run with that - particularly since, as I've said, I do have a pair of 'adjacent' 16A immersion circuits.In my world that only applies if two (or more) adjacent MCBs are continuously loaded at or approaching their nominal rated currents when mounted in enclosures.
Exactly. So one can't have a pair of adjacent MCBs both 'continuously' (>1 hour) carrying more than 66% of their 'nominal rated current (~10.5A for a 16A MCB) - do you agree? ... which takes me back to my question - do you think that my adjacent pair of Wylex B16s is theoretically compliant or not?Or move or separate them but if not possible then - yes.Instead (one assumes) one has to install a higher-rated MCB such that it's 'continuous' load is no greater than their specified '66% of its nominal rated current'
