Exactly.

Is the described circuit a case of recommended improvement or required rewire to fit the CU. The question seems plain enough. The described circuit has multi-stranded cable as opposed to the solid core that seems to be sold these days, and the socket outlets are on the skirting board as...

I have argued with no one, despite being insulted. I have no objection to being told that rewiring is required, but I do object to a terse one word statement rather than any attempt at any explanation. I do not particularly want to play twenty questions here. Why would it be limited to 13A...

I'm waiting for a civil conversation with an electrician, and I won't be holding my breath.

My mistake, I hadn't realised the 240v output would still be coming off a 12v battery. This really isn't going to meet your needs gladiator, it sounds like it's more for a camping trip.

Thanks, but i'll wait for someone a little less terse.

It claims it will provide 300W at 240V, so it wouldn't draw 10A for two bulbs as the last guy suggested, presumably thinking it was 12V. However when running two bulbs you'd already be taking half its capacity so you really couldn't run much else. You mentioned a work area, if that means power...

With respect I think my main questions could be answered as generalities - can a garage be run off a 32A ring to a slave CU from the main CU, using a ring of 2.5mm2 cable in conduit under paving, and is the old red and black 4.5mm2 multi-stranded cable still acceptable, or will an electrician...

Am I the only one who is curious as to the precise nature of the gadget?

Not yet, I've got someone coming round to do a report on all the house electrics next week for a hundred and i'll use that to get some quotes on the CU swaps. Just wondering if I need to prepare to be given bad news on the points I've raised, i'm not anticipating any other potential problems...

Hello, I'm planning to get a new CU installed as my home currently has no RCD protection. It's a Wylex box where the old wire fuses have been replaced at some point with MCBs. I'm basically wondering how much additional work is likely to be required based on the following- Firstly, inside...
