    Adding to a Wylex breaker box for a 10+kwh shower

    Oven only, it turned it on and watched the power draw, it was actually nearer 5kw due to existing load so 21ampish. It burst to 5kwish, then settled back after a few mins to around 2.5kw.

    Adding to a Wylex breaker box for a 10+kwh shower

    Interesting. Just thinking. I made an mspaint of the wiring, attached. Essentially the wiring comes out the back of the shower and up through a plaster wall into the loft. Then across the loft where there obviously will be thermal insulation. (I've added a picture where it goes up and then...

    Adding to a Wylex breaker box for a 10+kwh shower

    I'm not an electrician but if I read you correctly you're suggesting an RCBO on the red right hand side, this means I'm not pushing the left hand side neart the 80A limit which might be a problem down the line. (We are at a place where EVs, heat pumps are coming in and lots is moving to...

    Adding to a Wylex breaker box for a 10+kwh shower

    I know this is a job for a professional and that's fine. It's just that every electrician I've phoned seems to think something a bit different, just had one say I can run a 10.5kwh shower through a 40A breaker which I really don't think is correct. I have an 8.5kwh leccy shower that's...

    Bit difficult to measure how thick it is at this time, but worst case I can 3d print some sort of padding frame to add in a few mm for the wings. Thanks.

    Socket onto plywood?

    Just a quick question. I'm in a dorma bungalow with a small sticky out roof extension bit. In the extended room I first want to install a simple network socket, but further down the line I'm thinking about wiring in an electrical socket. The socket would attach to a "wall" which is plywood...

    Boiler not filling up from water tap

    As a relatively new house owner this is all a bit new to me, but I guess I'm just looking for a sanity check on what I think the problem may be. Boiler is a Remeha Avanta 28c. If I open both radiator taps on the linking water tube, nothing happens, the water pressure gauge does not increase...

    gas boiler - "lack of burner ignition" error

    Ahh interesting, actually one of the neighbours mentioned having an issue with their exit pipe freezing, that could well be it. This is a first floor flat though, the exit pipe is a bit inaccessible so can't currently get a kettle to it. Saying that I've just now tried restarting the boiler...

    gas boiler - "lack of burner ignition" error

    Hi all, Wonder if I could ask some advice. We have a Biasi Riva Compact HE gas boiler here that's suddenly decided to start started playing up. The three flashing lights on the front are showing the error : "Lack of burner ignition (no ignition signal from the full sequence ignition...
