Does anyone know where I can find table 48A? I am reading of its existence, but don't know where to find it.

    Also this video. Most importantly around 25 minutes in, the author shows a breaker tripping magnetically vs thermally:

    Yeh, but the fire was started by a propane torch not an electrical arc. Why worry about electrical arcs when the fire has already been started by another cause? Illogical.


    Edit, add.


    In the U.K. we have the wonderful 13 Amp. plug made to B.S. 1363. Have you ever heard of it? It contains a fuse. The fuse rating can popularly be either 3 Amp or 13 Amp, but other sizes are available like 5 Amp or 10 Amp. Flexes are protected by these fuses which are less in value than the 20 Amp circuit breakers referred to in the dated video.
