I'm having two new supplies installed into two adjoining small cottages (currently they are fed, inadequately off a three phase supply).
Scottish Hydro are installing two single phase supplies with a maximum capacity of 100 amps each property.
Heating will be electric using a "Total Heat Total Control" tarriff. This is a three way split tarriff.
My concern is regarding the maximum demand.
10 x 100w on the lighting circuits = 1000w at 66% = 2.87a
Kitchen ring assuming full load = 32a
Ground & First Floor rings = 6a
Shower 8.5Kw = 37a
Cooker, 40a (10a+30% 0f 30a) = 19a
Panel Heaters total 24a (10a+50% 0f 14a) = 17a
Thats almost 114a, then add;
Immersion 3Kw = 13a
Storage Heaters, 6Kw = 26a
Total potential load 153a
Am I right to be concerned? surely there is nothing here that is different to thousands of other consumers using electric heating but I'm concerned that the load will just blow the service fuse.
Also the quote from the Hydro says "with a maximum capacity of 100 Amperes subject to an after diversity maximum demand of 10kVA for each property" What does this mean?
