In a fashion yes, but not sure that I calculated this right. Its seems low to me. If I have under calculated that would be great as i need as much available watts/amps I can get. From a calculation I did I get that 5000Kva over 3 phases would give around 12,500amps Its doesn't have to...

Hi, If I get a 5000Kva 3 phase supply installed into my building, what would be the maximum available Mw. Ignoring switch gear for now. I have got the figure of 2.8Mw from my calculations. Any help?

As explain to me by my electrician. Under a kitchen sink or bath is in zone 0. Zone 0 is Where electric outlets are only permited if they are only accessible via the use of a tool! Luke a bath panal screwed in but you can really screw the sink unit shut can you! He has shown me these...

Cheers for that lads!!! :D I know that electrical sockets are no longer permited under sinks, which is common sense but this guy really baffled me!

He told me he actually called corgi technical support or called somebody, to confirm but i couldnt hear anybody on the other end. Just thought that somebody on here will have clue where i can find this information from.

I work for myself selling and fitting kitchens and last week on a job I called the local corgi registered plumber out of the phone book as I was further away than my regular plumber is willing to travel. I asked him to install pipework for a new hob an move the gas meter tighter into the...
