Connecting up Sockets in either office or home

Former Community Member

Hi All,

Was wondering best way to connect power to new set of 6 13A Double Sockets would it be best to use 63A RCD and 32A MCB with 2.5mm2 cable coming from MCB to the sockets I guess would you need 2 32A MCB's to have 3 sockets connected at any one time?.Then connect 16mm2 cable from the Main Power Source to the 63A RCD.The Power source consisting of 2x 4KVa Transformers and industrial sockets 110v,230v & 400v so Welders can work on the different floor levels (ie 2 Floors & Office on Ground).Also for lighting I assume its the same set up but with 6A MCB and 1.5mm2 Cable coming from the MCB.Jimmy

    Hi there,


    I see the debate about the lights is still in full swing.

    Anyway away from lighting I have a small query in the way of size of cables as there are 5 cables (L1,L2,L3,N &E) that provide power to the Power Clusters that are on the structure each of which goto different floors respectively,as these Power clusters will be powering up Welding,Cutting and Milling Machines so was wondering if you would have an idea as to the size these input Power cables could well be.Jimmy



    I have replied requesting an explanation why this sort of thing cannot be asked in forum. private messaging completely defeats the idea of a forum, which is that we can all see the questions, and this avoids duplicated effort and irritation on our part.
