I stand corrected, I wasn't aware of the 'current demand' being 10A + 30% of remainder + 5A for socket in cooker unit (= 29A). I'd just calculated total load as 13600/230 = 59A + 13 for socket = 72A Think I'll put all 3 on the cooker outlet and get other half to cook a sunday roast and bake at...

Just bought a UPS2 15-50/60 to replace a dying CP53 and am worried about the inrush current (based on the stories seen on this forum and elsewhere about the need for an NTC suppressor cable). My heating system is wired such that the roomstat, via the programmer, switches the Honeywell V4043...

I've got a 100K Btu condensing boiler for heating and domestic HW, both controlled by zone valves. Added another zone valve for swimming pool, feeding 100k Btu stainless heat exchanger set in return from sandfilter to pool. My above ground pool is 16ft diameter x 4ft deep, with the boiler...

How does this sound as a plan of action: We get our incomer changed to a 30mA RCD. Toptip123 suggested an RCD from EATON/MEM as a direct replacement for the Bill Talisman T13SD - is this the one, Eaton MEM EBMR30 Memshield3 3 Module TPSN Residual Current Device RCD 100A 30mA (incomer kit)...

Thanks for the replies, The RCD in the council depot is rated at 100mA. I'm not sure (didn't think to look) if the depot supply is TT but they insist on the RCD at their end to protect the underground cable to our premises (which we lease from the council) and they will not allow us to become...

Getting an electrician is not a problem, the current (no pun intended) setup is obviously not satisfactory, although its apparently been like this for some years, I would just like to know what is possible in the most cost effective way. One local electrician looked at it and said 'Yeh, you...

Hello, My premises has a 3 phase supply fed from the next door council depot. Problem is that any electrical faults cause a trip in the depot which is inconvenient after depot working hours. I had the depot electrician look into it and he recommended a change of the incomer switch on my...

Sounds a good idea - quick and easy, have you used these in celcons. What length would you recommend I use.

I have to finish a new celcon block wall with 12.5 p/b on 50 x 25 battens @ 600 c/c on 25mm Kingspan. What's the best way to fix this to the celcons? I've always found it difficult to get a strong fixing into into the blocks. Thanks.

Thanks for replies. Think I'll go for a condensing drier. not so efficient but will save a lot of heartache and grief.

I thougt about trunking it to the nearest soffit, but it's going to be about a 6 - 7 metre run with 2 bends, not sure if the average drier fan would be happy with such a long pipe - my thinking was that any 'flue effect' of the warm air up the vertical pipe would help the air flow, perhaps a...

Here's a weird question for you good people. Can I vent a tumble drier up a chimney?? I'm shortly going to instal a drier in a newly created laundry room on the first floor of my semi, the room is in the middle of the house adjacent it the party wall so the only option for venting is thro'...
