What is the maximum number of FCUs in its own radial circuit?

newbieuser

Lets say there are bunch of sensors which have low load like 0.5A, how many FCU would you put in one circuit?

Or would you design it in a way that if a circuit happens to fail the other are still functioning. if there are like 10 in total, 2 radial circuits containing 5 sensors each. So each rad circuit has 5 fcus daisy chained. 

Would this be okay in regs,

Thanks.

  • I am not aware of any limit, simply follow accepted good design to as to overloading the circuit.

    If each load does in fact use half an a amp, then presuming use of a 32 amp circuit, then limit the loads to about 90% of the circuit capacity.
