LED lighting cable calcs

Baldyhugh over 3 years ago

Hi all

when calculating cable size for an LED lighting circuit is there a multiplication factor to be applied like the 1.8 for the old fluorescent lighting? I’m aware of the high inrush currents of led fittings but what I understand of this it is of such short duration that it only affects the curve rating of the mcb selection. I have a couple of 150 disco Lowbays to fit in a warehouse and would appreciate some advice.

many thanks

Thanks mike

so as regards the current calculations I basically use the ‘running’ current rather than the ‘starting’ current if you can call it that?
