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?

    As far as house renting goes, the installation has to comply with BS7671:2018 at all times (*), but the law doesn't say that the inspection and test has to be against BS7671 (although the landlord may of course choose for it to be).


    (*) So if a tenant damages a socket and doesn't report it to the landlord, the landlord is still technically guilty, and has to rely on the common sense of the LA or tribunal not to fine him/her.
