    I will get more details and get back to you. Apprently it was a course run during this week in KZN. I didnt attend the course, just feedabck I got from the course.

    With regards to the wire per circuit , I would assume that each wire connected to the breaker is identified so that when the cover is removed for maintenance, it is clearly labeled ?

    Do you have wire numbers and a sketch to identfy each circuit, or do you have a label on the front of the DB to identify that there are more than 1 circuit connected to the circuit breaker ?

    If you add a wire to a circuit breaker, you would be adding points, I wouldnt loose any sleep over it.
    Comments are my opinion, unless regulations are attached to support the comment. This is social media, not a court room.

    Something to consider when identifying more than one circuit/wire connected to one circuit breaker.

    1/ You need to identify that there is more than 1 circuit connected to one breaker. (plugs - P1and P2 if more then P3 4 5 6 etc

    2/ The lableling on the front cover should indicate more than 1 circuit, and each wire/circuit should be identified.

    3/ There should be an electrical layout drawing in a document holder next to the DB to identify each circuit.

    4/ Light switches/socket outlets etc should be lableled with the correct circuit number so that they can be easily identified.


    Just remember if you add a wire, you would need to add the points, so does it make a difference to the COC, not really, eitehr way you would have to add a circuit or a point, unless you do it properly, it actually makes no difference.
