Hi all, posted up the other day asking for help about if it's possible to do what we would like. Started a new post (this one) with all the info I have collected over the last few days that should answer the questions that I was being asked in other posts. Started a new post as want to try and keep it tidy in one post now I have all the info.
Basically, its a Marina where we want to increase the supply to the boats and have caravans also.
We have had DNO out and they have confirmed we have available -
3 phase, 69KVA with 3x separate 100 amp fuses to isolate
What we want to have installed is -
30x 16amp 240v blue sockets (boats)
15x 16amp 240v blue sockets (caravans) governed to 10 amps per socket
1x toilets with a 7.5kw shower and 2kw water heater (shower has very rare use)
There is a clubhouse also that we are going to add up the appliances to work out amps, but we think around an absolute max of 50 amps on a winters evening with everything on.(everything being 4x fridges, 1x electric fan assisted domestic oven , lighting and 2x 3kw water cylinders)
As for usage, we would never have more than 50% of caravans and boats in use at one time. More like 30%.
Also they are mainly used in summer, so other than 40/60w tube heaters to prevent freezing in winter, they will peak with a surge of amps when boiling a 2kw kettle for example.
With that information, is it feasible to do what we want? Would we have plenty of power left? or would you say we are pushing it?
Thankyou to anyone who spends the time working the above out.
