yeah I know, sorry lads this one again! Used the search (as long as I could anyway) re shower cable. CU s about to be changed along with other configurations, relating to new house extension, having read all previous posts regarding shower cable was eventually able to convince the old fella...

Thanks all, i really appreciate your help, its interesting to see the usual names appearing when viewing and searching topics. Unknown (or probably not) to yourselves, using the search engine you,ve all helped me in the past, thanks for dedicating your spare time to this site (and to my...

thanks for the input guys, FWL duely noted thanks, my concern with these damn heaters is the potential power pull. Its a new extension, when i planned the kitchen i took a spur from two ring main sockets at worktop height with 13amp fscu and and sunk sockets below to service these heaters...

Thanks map you,ve confirmed my thoughts :) the third ring is more of a convienience the cu is directly below a new master bedroom and it was easier to give it its own ring, the plinth heaters will probably never be used to full capacity, but if they are there i thought i ought to cater for...

Gota nice new shiney split load Cu 6 +6, the rcd is a 63A 30mA, i have the option of changing this to 100A 30mA (got a spare compatable) would this option increase my diversity? or cause me probs! On the rcd side i would have the following 1x 50amp = shower currently 7.5 (upgrading...

Thanks guys, interesting reading

thanx ban, interesting point, like u say circiuts on the same size breaker, I assumed rightly or wrongly, I was ok. being protected either end by breaker & rcd at cu and 3amp fuse in switched spur, perhaps breezers thinking about the amount of power the 6mm is carrying and then transferring...

Hi breezer, excuse my ignorance I thought it was ok to tap off cooker point with 2.5 cable. If it is,nt I apoligse for the duff advice(please disregard)!. Breezer, I,ve recently done this, the cooker point has a socket outlet as well, I,ve taken power using 2.5 to a spur which is directly...

I agree with crafty, if you havent decorated yet, you could always chop in a switched fused spur unit next to your cooker point, taking the power off that, using a 3amp fuse in it. chase a cable from the spur upto a fixed connection unit near your hood or inside if its big enough. No dangly...

Thanks guys, i can put them on their own circuit, it is a big kitchen and I was a bit concerned about the power draw, you,ve confirmed my doubts thanx for the advice :D

Iv,e bought 2 x 3kw plinth heaters for the kitchen, initially I was going to feed these by way of plugging them into socket outlets which allready exist just in the right places behind the kitchen units, (both sockets are on the same ring), However considering the potential draw if both were on...

hi all Recently changed a friends central heating pump for a more powerfull one, which solved the initial problem of radiators in his new (large) conservatory not getting warm, his room stat was also a bit dodgy, falling foul of being badly located on the stairs! so replaced that with an...

thanks supersparks I forgot bout the march issue!! I want to be on the safe side anyway so to **** the old man off even more i,m gonna get it all checked and go for a cert, this should,nt be a problem should it (assuming everythings ok of course). I screwed the boxes back to be by the book...

Thanks for that only problem is i,d still have to get access to the small junction box that supplies the elv, (screwed to joists some 8" from fitting, to avoid heat and allow for top hat hoods!). Now u mention part P i,d welcome your views, building plans were passed april last year, according...
