How many people here really believe that the OP is genuinely competent enough to be doing this work?
Probably not many, but it sounds as if 'this work' is a fait accomplis. The question itself does not really relate to competence to do the work (which it seems has already been done), so I see no harm in it being answered.How many people here really believe that the OP is genuinely competent enough to be doing this work?
Which is what the calculator does.Can't really see how ohm's law will help. It is down to converting watts to amps not ohms and volts to amps.
Damn does this mean I need a new fuse every time I boil the kettleSo 13A = 2990 watts or 3kW so add all items watts together and it needs to be less than 3kW if the fuse is not going to blow.
It does, indeed - but only because, despite being called an "Ohm's Law Calculator", it does calculations which are not just Ohm's Law. As eric said, Ohm's Law, in itself, does not help one with calculations involving power.Which is what the calculator does.Can't really see how ohm's law will help.

It certainly isn't. It has always been my view that the valuable contributions that he is undoubtedly able to make (and sometimes does make) significantly outweigh the negative aspects of his activities in the forum. However, I have to confess that in recent days I have started to seriously reconsider my view about whether, on balance, his presence is beneficial or harmful to the forum.It's not just you Simon.

I'll admit to old and (sometimes) grumpy, but I think that I am generally very tolerant. I don't personally care about his antics but, for whatever reason, I do feel some concern for the wellbeing of the forum, and its value to its intended target population - hence my recent reconsideration of his 'cost/benefit ratio'.Why, are you two getting old, grumpy and intolerant, too?
I'm sorry you do not regard it as helpful to advise people who do not have a ******* clue to not fiddle with electrics until they do, but do regard it as helpful to encourage them to continue with their ignorant bumblings.The more I read what you are writing recently, the less I believe that you are here to help in a DIY forum.
