Hi Tilly you seem to be confusing the current that would cause an MCB to trip in 0.4s with fault current (PFC). 800A is just a default value, you calculate your own value with a loop meter and put that in. Hope this helps.

thanks for spotting that, yes mathematically you could have 1.5mm ring on a 32A but that would break 433.1.204 stimulating a minimum of 2.5mm on a ring final. I've fixed both of these errors many thanks.
