Middle of last week I helped faultfind the supply to a garage. Quite urgent as there is now an electric only car parked in there.
Turns out it's far too thin, looks like 1.0mm² [but could be 1.5mm²] on a 32A type1 MCB in a duct with obvious signs of overheating.
The boss was on the phone to the office about something unrelated to the job and asked the buyer to use the online calculator and order replacement cable. 36metres, 32A, buried. the calculator said 50mm². It turned up yesterday...
Lucky the boss laughed about it then said there is another job it can be used on.
Me thinks a decimal point in the wrong place or something.
