  1. for example a 1.5mm² cable can easily handle 10a inside a wall but 16a outside a wall

  2. why didn't the uk use screw in fuses like europe & america?
    3
  3. ​ @nighttow8780  in europe the standard 230v (or 400v) circuits are 16a but 230v 10a circuits also exist because that's still over 2000w
    3
  4. ​ @antaress8128 i doubt c25 is the correct breaker size: 1.0mm² c6 (lights) 1.5mm² c10 (lights & sockets) 2.5mm² c16 (sockets & 3 phase ranges) 4mm² c20 (single phase ranges) 6mm² c25 (main)

  5. aren't those just fuses? tulppasulake?
    2
  6. our standard outlets are only 120v
    2
  7. what? you have c25 breakers? shouldn't they be c16?
    2
  8. having fuses in plugs is unsafe because if they keep blowing then people will use bigger fuses

  9. an elcb only detects current in the earth wire unlike an rcd
    1
  10. ​ @AMATISIG what you just described is an rcd
    1
  11. i think it's because for example 12awg is thinner than 4mm² so the american 20a breakers are faster blow than the european 20a breakers
    1
  12. we have 120v 20a 5ma gfci sockets
    1
  13. ​ @DavidLeecl  nowadays we have not only gfci breakers but also tamper resistant sockets
    1
  14. what do you mean "common neutral"? each circuit has its own neutral wire but they all share a thick main neutral wire
    1
  15. ​ @nicolas073 why would a circuit breaker need to cut the neutral wire? that doesn't make any sense
    1
  16. an elcb is obsolete because it only detects current in the earth wire unlike an rcd
    1
  17. did you know? a standard b20 breaker is slower than a standard 20a american breaker
    1
  18. 230/400v mcbs exist & you just have to disconnect live wires
    1
  19. are you sure about that? because high voltage dc is rare
    1
  20. what about connecting the lamp's ground to the neutral? tn-c earthing system?
    1
  21. ​ @mastergx1  old homes in finland use the tn-c earthing system where the washing machine circuit is 2x2.5mm² instead of 3x2.5mm²
    1
  22. ​ @mastergx1  the schuko socket is unpolarized but grounded
    1
  23. an elcb isn't recommended because it only trips if there's current in the earth wire unlike an rcd
    1
  24. ​ @ColinDyckes what you just described is an rcd
    1
  25. ​ @ColinDyckes it's not the same thing because of the reason i said, you can say rccb if you want because that's a different name for the same thing
    1
  26. does australia use mcbs? the standard australian socket is 15a but 15a mcbs don't exist
    1
  27. you don't have to cut the neutral wire because it's 0v
    1
  28. ​ @erict1595  i've only seen double pole switches for inlets

  29. i've only seen double pole switches for inlets

  30. dc creates bigger arcs than ac
    1
  31. that depends on the resistance of the earth circuit but if it's tn-c or tn-s instead of tt then the answer is usually yes
    1
  32. i only know finland but rcds didn't exist there until the 1990s
    1
  33. an elcb is obsolete because it only detects current in the earth wire unlike an rcd
    1
  34. that ground fault is just a short circuit if it's tn-c or tn-s
    1
  35. ​ @oliversmith7130 you can't use rcd in a tn-c system
    1
  36. are you a furry? for some reason an mcb just flips like a switch
    1
  37. 6000a is the maximum current that the breaker can break
    1
  38. rccb is usually called rcd
