240v question will this be ok?

I've set up a 16 for the sockets and 6 for the CTek charger and so far all good

 

Yes I get the 16/6 thing in effect I suspect less than 16 would be best? Most sites I have used I pick 10a supply, what's the big switch is that ok? And the "b" should it be "c"?

B not C
there was a good discussion on 230v it in Zeds 3 devons thread

 

The copper fork thing ..
is the busbar to link the breakers at the bottom..

 

Ok ta, so just swap the 32 and it's safe then? (As long as it's wired properly)

 

Ok right you think they'd tell you, I'll have to read the instructions now

 

I it is expected
That ,you have to have a certain level of competence to fit distribution boards..

 

don't forget to earth the chassis

 

Don't forget to wear trackie bottoms when fitting it.

 

Try doing a French one with nothing but french instructions and they wire both red and blue into the breakers.

 

Does that mean everyone has dual pole breakers and protection? It's more sensible IMO as then it doesn't matter if you cock it up. Hence your legendary French reversed pole camp sites. It only matters to us pedantic Brits and our "take no prisoners" wiring scheme where +ve must be +ve even though as far as I can see it's no different to N.

 

Not sure, all I know it took me a little while to get me head around it.

 

I believe our cheapy single pole ELCB's only measure leakage from live to earth, so if you wire it the wrong way and there's a prob they don't work.

 

Britain. Making things difficult since 1986

 

Yes.

 

One thing I do know is if you hold the blue wire it kicks your ass when you don't flick the breaker off.

 

b types are normally used as they dont take much extra load. c type s are normally on rcbo s as the trip curve is greater (more extra load) defo not d type as they take double load in bursts.
if helps I plan on fitting 10a doublepole rcd with polarity neon wired into it. but only plan on using Mk or similar . screwfix.ebay. toolstation all sell just check test button opeeation.

 

Cheers Ive lined up a 16a to replace the 32, presumably the 6 was a lightning circuit and 32 plugs, I won't have 240 lights so if I put something small on the 6 like the charger and the plugs on the 16 all will be good.

 

Why not just change them both to 16a?

I'd of thought in reality you can just wire up the 16 and forget about the 6

 

I guess in theory I could just wire it all to 1, I only had 1 in the bay, or maybe I'll wire my outside socket to one of them to feed the awning... (I had a waterproof socket on the chassis under the bay)
