RATING FACTORS AND CABLE SIZES FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS – HOW TO USE THE FACTORS – 18TH EDITION TIPS

We’ve had several requests to make a video that explains the cable rating factors and cable choices to be made as shown in Appendix 4 of the Wiring Regulations book. So in this video from LearnElectrics we will look at this and show you a method on how to use the tables that are found here so that they will help you in your work life and in exams and assessments. Many have asked what the symbols mean and how to use the rating factors shown in Appendix 4. Others have asked what the equations mean, the ones with all the letter Cs. Where, they ask, do you even start with it. For this video, we will assume that we are selecting twin & earth cable as this is a popular cable in domestic work. If you can understand how to manupulate the equations for twin and earth, other cables will be easy too. And all tables and data will come from the 18th edition Amendment 2 Wiring Regulations book, the brown book. This is the only book allowed in the 18th Edition exam and if you are studying for this exam, then I urge you to follow the steps in this video and learn how to access the needed pages quickly. This is video number 255 and to view all our videos type in LearnElectrics all one word into the YouTube search bar. Visit our YouTube channel where we have many more videos on a wide range of electrical topics.
