Electrical Circuit Design and Protection 3

AB
A C.P.C. prevents accessible metalwork from becomingLive
Earth Leakage currents are monitored by using aResidual Current Device
Fuses protect againstOver Current
A 3kW 230V loading should be protected by a fuse rated at13A
Miniature circuit breakers can be easilyreset when tripped
A consumer unit contains the circuit Isolator and circuitFuses
If an over current is allowed to flow for too long then this can result indamage to the Cable Insulation
A fuse holder identified with a Blue dot will have a current rating of15A
A fuse holder identified with a White dot will have a current rating of5A
A fuse holder identified with a Yellow dot will have a current rating of20A
A fuse holder identified with a Red dot will have a current rating of30A
A protective device is installed in a circuit to act as theWeakest Link
To operate a Miniature Circuit Breaker and a fuse BOTH rely uponHeating Effect
An R.C.D. installed to protect socket outlets in a domestic dwelling will be rated at30mA
A thermostate is used to monitor the difference inTemperature
An Isolator with a lock off is installed in a circuit to allowMaintenance to take place
A coil in a contactor gives protection againstNo-Voltage
A cartridge fuse used in a plug top has a British Standard numberBS1362
A cartridge fuse used in a domestic consumer unit has a British Standard numberBS1361
The IEE Wiring Regulations have a British Standard numberBS7671
