First of all, the oven is 5.1KW so too much for a 13A socket. So back to the original question... "I'm fitting a new double oven on one side of the room and a ceramic hob on the other. There is apprx 4m between them. Do they each need a separate cable back to the c.u. or should you 'daisy...

" Am I getting out on the one-nine? "

Hi all I'm fitting a new double oven on one side of the room and a ceramic hob on the other. There is apprx 4m between them. Do they each need a separate cable back to the c.u. or should you 'daisy chain' from one to the other (post a switch and outlet)? Thanks (all my work will be...

Hi. Is it ok to 'star' off from an already 'stared' radial lighting circuit? For example: one feed into a j.b going to two other j.b's each having their own lights on (one feed being split into 2 then those two being split again further on down the line). Thanks.

Thanks Adam 151. That makes sence now.

I am a little confused. 50W at 12V is 4A per lamp. So you are suggesting that 4 lamps will take 16A. That can't be right. The circuit is only rated at 6A. One of the electronic transofrmer manufactures states that the input current is approximatelt 20 times less than the output current. So...

12V

ok. But do you take the voltage to be 12v or 240v?

Hi. Does anyone know if a 50W LV lamp with electronic transformer current is calculated the same as a regular 50W bulb? ie 50W/240V = 0.2A and 50W/12V = 4.1A. Which, if any, calculation do you use? Thanks.
