    But they can.
    And you wouldn't be able!

    It makes no sense to make two circuits and then connect them to one protection, the more so as the price of the protection is often lower than the wire used.

    It is best to add a separate security
    Are the cables of the same cross-sections?

    I am curious how will you give a few of the same wires with a similar cross-section, what protection will you choose for this buddy madz123 ???

    There should be no more than 10 sockets in the socket circuit. And the question of what will be powered, like some devices with significant power, can be a problem with power. The sockets are for 16A, so the protection cannot be greater.

    What does it mean that there is a limited space in the switchgear?
    What about the thirty percent free space rule?

    Look closely at the terminal of the miniature circuit breaker and you will see that the combination of what "blessings" you demand to see can have a very pitiful end.

    kkas12, there is still a small design detail. How to effectively secure 2 cables of different lengths and with a different arrangement? We choose the one with lower parameters, at the same time limiting the one that has more possibilities?

    This is the situation the rest of theorists saying that you will push up to 50 wires into the circuit breaker.

    Colleagues, let's not exaggerate - there are currently 3 sockets on one of the circuits, and 2 on the other. There will be a total of 5. 3x2.5mm2. Protection 16A.
    For lighting - 2 lamps + 2 lamps + 1 lamp. 3x1.5mm2. Protection 10A.


    Either I report the calculations as harmful advice.

    Mr. Bodzio_elektryk - I have qualifications, maybe it does not matter, but I am also a member of SEP and I could continue to mention - because it is - but I deal with a completely different plot - and asks someone who deals with LV electrical installations on an ongoing basis.

    The popular post on this forum "call an electrician" is very out of place - the more that I asked the question on the forum for beginners.


    Don't make us laugh. You ask questions like a first-year student of general secondary school.

    In the switchboard, when we connect the fuses (creating a rail), we connect two wires to one "S".
    How is it when leaving? - is good practice saying that one "S" for one wire (which here is the same as the circuit), can you connect two or even three wires to one "S" (which also form one circuit)?

    For the first time in my life I learned from a SEP member that two wires form a rail.

    ... if the conductors have the same cross-section, several of them may be caught horizontally (2-3).
    May you not have to verify your conviction.
    But if you are sure why do you ask?

    What's the point of dividing one circuit into several?
    What is the obstacle to connect these several "circuits" in the switchgear with a terminal, e.g. WAGO and one wire to the overload switch?

    Probably knowing what the circuit breaker protects.

    What to justify you?
    Don't you understand that skipping professional solutions for a manufacture is a full-blown mess?
    The bigger the mess because you used a wire instead of a rope.

    And if you quote something, do it correctly.

    I have not used anything yet - so far I have seen how I have the switchgear made twenty years ago - and it was made by a qualified electrician.

    Separate fuses are a professional solution. If we do not have the possibility, it is better WAGO?


    A professional solution is to hire a qualified electrician.

    Top-flight bungling! Judging by the advice, this is my colleague's work.

    It is total ignorance to write that if it works it is okay. Security is not important after all.
    Unfortunately I have to agree Dr. I had to the SEP hit rock bottom.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the practice of connecting multiple wires to a single fuse or circuit breaker in electrical installations. Participants debate whether it is acceptable to connect two or more wires to one circuit breaker, with some arguing that it is common practice among electricians, while others emphasize the importance of adhering to safety standards and best practices. The consensus leans towards the recommendation of using separate circuit breakers for different circuits to ensure proper protection and avoid potential hazards. Concerns are raised about the implications of overloading a single circuit breaker and the necessity of maintaining adequate space within the switchgear. The conversation highlights the importance of professional electrical installation and the potential risks associated with improper wiring practices.
