Emergency lighting

    Hi all,

    Looking for help on the wiring side of emergency lights at the distribution board. I'm a qualified electrician and have recently completed an emergency lighting course. However we didn't cover the exact wiring at the DB. Is it a case of a supply from say a 10 amp mcb to the 6 amp control mcb. From there to the CTU and that feeds the contactor?

    Any advice or diagram would be greatly appreciated.


    Thanks.

    Been a while

    For the basic non -maintained anyhow in a commercial setup

    Supply taken from each lighting MCB in distribution board to a pole on a NC multipole contactor , then taken on to the emergency lights in the same area as the lighting on that particular lighting mcb

    CTU then energizes contactors to test all emergency lights wired from the DB
