Hi, can anyone tell me if you had a large voltage drop (down to 200 volts), would the electric meter read more? As I understand, if you have appliances running and the volts drop, the amps increases? so would this cause the meters to read higher due to the increase of amps caused by the low...

So in the regs it says that 16amp should be supplied not down rated with a 10amp mcb? Have I understood that correctly? As for use, its private members-only club. We won't have visitors booking a pitch etc. All caravans and boats are members only and are stored there all year. The boats leave...

No, just trying to see what we can do before we invite people out to quote. Don't want to waste peoples time and travel if what we plan ist feasible.

Hi all, posted up the other day asking for help about if it's possible to do what we would like. Started a new post (this one) with all the info I have collected over the last few days that should answer the questions that I was being asked in other posts. Started a new post as want to try and...

Biggest issue with boats is the heating. My personal boat has 2x 32amp connectors i have to plug in. 1 for heating, 1 for the actual boat. As you will know, its the surge of power at the start, once up to temp etc, then fine. My boat i tried to run on a 16 amp convertor, the heating pops the...

LOL, ye mix of sunseekers and rust buckets. The caravans are all modern and carvans, not motor homes. At present the caravans all have a 16 amp supply which in reality is more than they need, but they are the newer part with electric upgrade last year (only have 5 caravans at present) The...

Thanks, so get hold of them and they should be able to tell me. Would they need a site visit or will it be on record?

This is presuming that we would have to pay for the upgrade from the DNO and that they wont supply a bigger supply to the property FOC if we require it? Im presuming we have to pay them for a bigger supply installed?

I hear you, for me at present, i need to attend a committee meeting where i am bringing to the table that i want to have more caravans. I know i will be hit with "we don't have enough power" which will most likely be the case. However, i hope we do have enough power for the first stage and if we...

Hi, yes im doing both lol. I think i know what i need - 820 amps worked out as single phase 240v. I dont know what that would be as 3 phase? would it be divide by 3? . So that is worked out on every plug giving its maximum rated power. So diversity law i think its called comes in? Anyway, i...

I think its called diversity law? What would an estimate be of how many amps / kw etc we would require for the following please? Clubhouse = 100 amps 15 caravans @ 16 amps (16 amp blue 240v plugs) = 240 amps 30 boats @ 16 amps (16 amp blue 240v plugs) = 480 amps Total MAX = 820 amps = 197...

Thanks, im more trying to establish if there is a minimum amount of power we would have. As in, what is the smallest supply the grid would of installed. Or could it really be anything like a 30 amp supply max down the 3 phase cables coming into the building? Maybe i should be asking, is there a...

Hi everyone, what is the smallest supply that would be supplied to a commercial property? Basically a marina but want to add caravans, so trying to get an idea if we would have enough power supplied to the actual site in first place. Power is provided by 3 phase and we are the only property...

thankyou, anyone no regs on max size the glass should break up into? i have bits 4"x 4" with very pointed edges. To the point that one bit has embedded itself through a IKEA cupboard.

Not going to mention manufacturer at moment, but made in uk and its self cleaning and the most energy efficent glass they do with i think it was argon gas filled? reflects sunlight but retains heat inside?
