So this is in a home extension and there is currently no wiring and single phase. I am speaking with my electrician next week, but want to understand a bit more so I can have an intelligent conversation. So I guess this is more about how it will look as opposed to the electrical details. I...

Hi, I am thinking about suspended track lighting with three circuits and hence 5 wires - L1, L2, L3, N and E. And specifically how to connect the five core cable at the ceiling. Is there such a thing as a ceiling rose that will allow three live connections rather than the normal single?

Thanks for this. I had looked at this type of system, but because of our ceiling slopes, we can get it to work. What I am looking for is a rigid track system where I can suspend the track from varying length cables (say at the corners) from the ceiling.

Thanks flame port. n the 19kw heating requirement, this is based on the radiators I am looking at. But this is based on working out what is needed from various calculators. And I have definitely over specified as I dont want to be left short of heat (maybe this is a bad ting to do). I dont...

I will be using an electrician, but like to know as much as possible before hand and I like to understand what anyone who works in my home is doing. And to understand the questions I need to ask. And I am generally curious and over think things.

Hi, We are rewiring our new house as part of a major renovation. We haven't picked our oven or hob yet and and trying to understand what cabling to put in. Looking around it seems that typical hop and double oven requirements seem to be around 7kW/31A (hob) & 5kW/22A (ovens). Do we run one...
