Hope someone can answer my questions?
My consumer unit has a 5amp MCB for the lighting circuit.
I am adding some low voltage downlighters which means the total wattage will be just over 1400w, for the whole house. For some reason, both upstairs and downstairs are running off one 5amp fuse. I may need to change this so that they have their own fuses, but could i get away with it by added a bigger fuse? I may need to split the circuit anyways.
Thanks.
