I have been investigating my REC's supply terms (EME - or Central networks as it is now). Seems that for "new" supplies they only supply 12kW - I reckon that's about 50Amps. Granted that's to non - electrically heated houses, but I still think that's low for a modern house - even allowing for diversity. If someone was to have an electric shower and an electric cooker with electric hobs surely that supply is nearly maxed out? It certainly doesn't leave much room for the myriad other high demand appliances in the modern house? Am I missing something?
My supply fuse is 63A - I thought that was low - particularly as most CU's now have a 100A breaker?
Can someone with a greater understanding explain in simple terms please!?
