Table 52.3. Could someone explain it to me, again, please!

alanblaby
I've done an EICR this morning, all in perfect condition, apart from two Code 3's, a plastic CU, and a boiler supply on a 1mm T+E cable.

I've marked it as a '3', as Table 52.3 says a 'power circuit' , should be supplied by a minimum conductor size of 1.5mm.

This circuit is protected by a 6 amp, type B circuit breaker, and further on, a 3 amp BS1363 fuse.

So there is no safety issue at all.


Has it ever been explained why this table has been included, and why these figures are used?

    ......until it comes to filling out a landlords certificate and then you're entering the land of the pedants and the jolly jobs worth territory.




    Exactly.

    This is a rented house. As an Inspector, I think it is safe.

    But according to a post on here last week, all rented property must comply with BS7671:2018.

    So this install doesnt.

    It isnt any less safe, but it doesnt comply.

    Or have I got it wrong, and rented property only has to be safe?
