HI Right ok thank you, i will look up the DNO for my area and see what they say. Thanks for all your help. Jake

HI Corrr thats a lot of digging, but if what westie101 has just said that 3phase might not be available if could prove pointless. westie101- So what would be available?? Would this mean i might have to use a form of generator?? Thanks Jake

HI Oh ok then thats good insight. Have just found this website- http://www.ce-electricuk.com/page/services/index.cfm it's got some good advise. It would have to be 3Phase anyway all the dimmers run of 3 phase even thought they can be used in single phase. Ahhhh i now fear this is going to...

Hi I've been looking in to buying a old house which needs to be refurbished. It's a 3 story house with large grounds. I plan to put a mini theatre on the 3rd floor and a workshop in the garden if the deal goes down. What would be the maximum supply DNO's can give me?? the third floor on...

HI I've been reading the 16th Edition book, with 6.3.3 (sorry if i got this wrong- it's Radials on page 117) it doesn't really say what the minimum breaker size can be. I got the impression that it's 20A like a ring main but would like to check. Thanks Jake

HI The reading seemed stable, but when fading it did go a bit mental. Good, hope fully not, problems is the last thing i want. Yes they are very old They don't have any pre-heat function. Thats why we pre-heat it via the lighting console before the start of a show thus the question...

Hi 10% is warmers- Warm the light up before use. I believe that the 40W min load is per channel. Oh ok i didn't know that, it seems a bit odd though. [code:1]Any Quartz halogen bulb will not like running cool and dimming them will shorten their lives. Idea is the very hot...

Hi But when it dims doesn't it reduce the amount of amps going in to the lamp thus decreasing the load in watts I think i might have done it now. Thanks Jake

Hi How do i work out what the dimming load it's a total load of 8x GU10 lamps. I need to know if say when they are 10-15% they are not going to under load my dimmer pack. Is it as simple as 400W minus say 90% for 10% of light A bit more info The dimmer is a Strand Tempus Dimmer...

HI OH i've seen the same fridges used out side, what's a cheap option? Thanks Jake

HI They will be these if it helps. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4868279/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CKitchen+and+laundry%7C14418476/c_2/2%7C14418476%7CFridges+and+freezers%7C14418615/c_3/3%7Ccat_14418615%7CFridges%7C14418632.htm Thanks Jake

HI No, it's not installed yet. Yes correct. You are correct here sir. They where but i'm now thinking differently, if the fridges eat more than i thought they did. Would you suggest singles?? I have noticed that is standard. I dont really need the capacity of 10mm for...

HI I have been talking a decide to get a proper sparky to do the work. I did lower the rating of the lighting so it will no longer be a 16A trip it will be a 6A decided to not bother with the other PAR cans so the 6A will only be supplying the PAR 16s total lighting load now 400W. (Sorry...

HI Arrrr, good. (But then the build has't quite started yet.) That will be a while yet, so i can plan it out by the letter. Nope its just electric we want. I thought it might make it a bit eaiser, to make each bit one whole process. I did think that but i thought it might be...

Hi When i said that i ment after the structure has been built and then ready for the electrics to be fitted, or was i supposed to notify them before i started to bulid the structure? Thanks Jake

HI I never though of that. It might be an idea. It would have to be Henleys we have run out of ways in our CU. :( . The question was really two radials or one, suppose that is quite basic. I have good knowledge to do this correctly though. LABC will being notified after the bulid...

HI I've looked in too this before but never go round to it. I have a quick Q on the electrics. The pic i have attached is how i was going to do it. The max load i have is 20A- So it might just be enough for what i want to run. Should i have Two small radials as in the pic for...

HI They look like a MEM Memera 3 consumer unit fuse but you could do with a new consumer unit the MCBs for them unit aren't all that good. Thanks jake

ok Thank You i will try them
