Solar challenges

[Isetech]

There is a reason why there are are different curve breakers, to compensate for inrush current caused by motor staring or things like magnetic tables.

There is no reason a 25 amp breaker should be used in place of a 20 amp, I have noticed aircon people use 25 amp breakers, because like the solar installers they dont have an electrical background and the 1 week electrical training does'nt teach them the difference between a restive load and inductive load.

From my experience it looks like electricians are not taught much about electricity either, if you really want to see how bad it has got, go do a refresher course...... eeeeish.

Regarding the 25-20A breakers, some aircons require more than 20A to start whereafter their consumption drops. The motivation of providing 16A socket outlets is ridiculous. 4x6A loads is 24A, well within the capabillity of a 2.5mm cable. .

It was not motivation that I was providing - It is the regulations and cannot be changed because you feel differently - If a 25Amp CB is on a socket circuit you cannot sign the COC - Clause 6.15.3 is pretty clear
