which thermal and circuit breakers to use

hello people good day my name is christian and my question is the following that thermals should be used in a line of common sockets the installation is wired with 2.5mm unipolar cable with ground wire, and what circuit breaker should be placed? by another I also have a special use line wired with 3 mm cable that feeds a hot water tank an iron and an automatic washing machine that thermal and circuit breaker should place for this line and finally thermal and circuit breaker I must use for the line of lights with cable of 1.5mm I clarify the lights are going to be all led and finally at the entrance on the board I must put thermal and circuit breaker (general) and then go out first to the circuit breakers and then to their respective thermal ones? and very good forum.

Hi according to interpret ... you want to put a thermal and a general circuit breaker and then to each circuit a circuit breaker plus a thermal that would be wrong and very expensive for three circuits only a general differential circuit breaker sectional circuit (general) 6 mm² cables (unless the distance is excessive) and thermal 32A + differential switch 40A / 0.03A terminal circuits: 1) general purpose 2,50 mm² and 16A thermal power outlets 2) lighting: 1.50 mm² and 10A thermal cables 3) special-purpose electrical outlets: 4mm² thermal wires of 20A with that you will be fine Cheers

Christian: Good morning, Regarding your query, the thermomagnetic switches should protect the installation, so the line of sockets with a 2.5 mm2 section cable should be of a nominal current of 16 Amp that coincides with the maximum current supported by the cable indicated in the tables. In the case of the 3 mm cable we are facing an unknown section that could well be 4 mm which is the section that would follow in the tables above 2.5 or 6 mm which is the section following 4. That section is protected with rated current of 25 Amp. The cutting power of these two switches should be removed from a short circuit calculation but if you put 4.5 KA of cutting power you would cover 90% of the cases. with respect to the 1.5 mm2 section although it is not a recommended section you should place 10Amp. In the case of differential protections you could place 2x25Amp and the general switch should be 25 Amp or failing that if you use 6 mm section you could use 32aMP. I recommend you to use a BEP bar for the lands of all circuits and place a javelin as close as possible to the board.This would ensure that you always have the lowest possible failure potential in the installation!

Why is 1.50 mm² not recommended?

He meant that it is not advisable to put thermal of 10A, I suppose he takes the ampacity data of the AEA 98 that said that 1.5 wire supported something of 11A (I do not remember well). Maybe that's why the comment was

mmm I don't know ... it was clear to me, he said the section was not recommended. Anyway the question was out of curiosity nothing more, not to debate
The driver of 1.50 iram 2183 that was used in the days of the old regulation supported by table 13A. Today's new drivers support 15A. For both the protection of 10A is more than correct
Needless to say, the last regulation has accepted the 1 mm² section conductor for IUG returns
