First thing to check would be the manufacturer's instructions. My oven is iirc, 2.2KW. It ran quite happily on a 13A plug while I was refurbing the kitchen. Yet the MI state the device must be supplied by 2.5mm cable. Personally I'd wire it in 2.5mm cable and down the MCB to a B16. This...

I hate to be pedantic but presumably the heater will have some status LEDs, where some of the input energy will be converted to light and perhaps you'll loose some of the energy to sound too, so not truly 100% efficient :-) I think this thread gives a great insight into the complexities of...

What does the instruction manual say? I'm not being flippant, it does what the manufacturer has decided it will do and that could be a number of things.

You've got a shower room and a pump room? That's got to be a hell of a power shower.

Sounds like you need to install a fan into the lamp shade to increase air flow and hence cooling.

My interpretation is this: The OP had some work done by a spark and he added an earthing clamp to the gas pipe. It was connected 600mm away from the meter and after an joint in the pipe. The spark told him this was acceptable because the connection was made within 600mm of the meter and was...

Centrifugal fan eh? Can it separate blood sample while drying your bathroom?

Sounds like a ring final then? :-)

Presumably when it develops a fault it becomes the AO (Abnormally Open) terminal?

If you use two light beams a small distance apart, one can deduce direction of travel. You could also augment the arrangement with some PIRs along the drive. If you want to be really off-the-wall, run a light curtain the length of the drive or have a video camera with image recognition...

What are you trying to achieve?

As JohnD says, it's a NTHell box.

I can't believe they mounted that NTL box on the floor. What's inside the grey box?

Getting around the regulations in a legal way is generally know as "complying with the regulations". I think you'd do much better to do some more research of what needs to be done and concentrate on doing a top notch job, rather than doing a half arsed job to try to jump through a loophole in...

Have you thought about using square JBs?

A cynic is just an experienced optimist.

That's disappointing to hear, not only because I won't get my -80C freezer but also because it occurred to me that if he left it going for a few days and got it down to -273.15C, he'd be in line for a Nobel gong. That would certainly pay for a new freezer.

I've been trying to get hold of a -80 freezer, so this sounds like it would be just the ticket. Mind if I buy it off you?

Well, funnily enough, I did nearly add "and in this case, it seems that it was opened by a tool" to my post but on reflection I thought that I didn't know peterseventy well enough to get away with suck a quip.

Probably. As I said, I've failed to find an authority. The owners had better hope that we don't find an authority :-) It's mentioned as a guide by the BGB as being a metric for gauging the maximum size of the circuit. Curiously it's 100m2 for a 32A ring and 75m2 for a 32A radial. Work...
