LED lamp startup currents and MCB/RCBO

psychicwarrior

Hello forum , good day to all

Accepting it can be a bit more involved science wise, but will any of you please share [if you use/have] a general/simple ‘formula’ or 'rule of thumb'  for working out how many LED lamps that a MCB/RCBO Type B or C of some rating is able to switch and not end up nuisance tripping on same-time startup  ?

 

Regards

    In yesterday's webinar, the rule of thumb of 6 x for motor start-ups was mentioned. That accords with the manufacturer's data for some of my machines. I suspect that the inrush for motors may be a little longer than for LED lamps, but how about 10 x as a rule of thumb for LEDs?
