But I thought the switch had to be rated to largest load it would switch i.e the mains so need to be 100A + (125A)? You are right about the "human error factor" and the fogetting on genny and OH switches oven on. As I said above, from the tails we have 2 CU's allready one is sockets...

If we just had it set up that it could feed everything, but we did not turn the high loads on, is that OK/Legal ? So considering the intended use (back-up) yes the whole house is in effect live but all that will be drawing will be a few lights, fridge/freezer and boiler if that time of year...

Just seen the katto ones £300 + !:shock: http://katko.co.uk/pages/pricelistclosed.html#kem3160vv102 I looking at £150 tops for the switch! + cost for sparky

I think the changeover switch in the meter tails will be the best option., so power to all of the house, even if the likes of the cooker will be off limits to the generator. As you state yes we have 100A supply on mains, so even if gen is not 100 A, you still need the 100A + rated unit to...

I spent a bit of time looking at the roof, taking some measurements and then drawing up and in a flash of inspiration I have managed to get round the problem of converting this roof to a pitched one. The problem was there are two windows in the second story above the flat roof extension, one...

Not on my car. The key is just that a key. The remote is after market. Problem is solved and confirmed as the starter circuit in the alarm unit. This has now been by-passed and the fault (so far) has not come back

I chaged the igntion switch and it still did it (not start) the next day, and this is when the car has been turn off for a few mins never from cold. Addtionaly thinking about it, I have had problems with the alarm/central lock which is connected, in that the remote would not lock the car, so...

Hi I have a simliar issue and on reading what DuddersVr6 has said I belive that is the issue I have with my 1997 golf VR6.

I have done a couple of quick drawing of my propsed plan The apex height of the new roof would be ~ 1.70 m and the angle of the roof about 38 deg. Does that sound OK. As you can see from the drawings I would not be able to run into the height of the main house roof ridge, due...
