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

Habs

    ‘Impulse tripping’ curves (really non-tripping curves) are not in common circulation for plain vanilla MCBs in common consumer units of course.

    Perhaps in addition to the normal B/C/D curves etc makers ought to publicize this sort of thing more widely.

    Mike.
