Q10

How many adaptors are allowed to be used concurrently along a length of track?

A10

The number of adaptors is dependent on the total load current consumed at that point of time rather than the absolute number of tap-off units connected. Maximum load current available on the system is subjected to the rating of the MCB at the Distribution Board supplying to the final sub-circuit. In practice, the track can fit up to 16 adaptors per metre.
