    Fittings rated for continuous duty?

    Mmm.. but modern loads are getting bigger ..and more continuous.. and no one will win any jobs using fittings like this .. without being able to demonstrate a reason why .. such as continuous duty ratings .. but is there any such thing.?

    SSC metering expanation , why cant a smart meter be fitted

    Yes .. of course all the suppliers are feeling rather safe at the moment (if they're still in business!) No one is really wanting to change suppliers or tariffs unless they have to. Interesting times to say the least. Thanks for all your comments. Vito

    SSC metering expanation , why cant a smart meter be fitted

    Thanks avo .. mechanical time switch .. not tele switch. But.. maybe they think it had a teleswitch.. I can see how they may need to read the teleswitch settings and that may prove difficult.. But I can't see why they just can't fit a meter that gives the customer e7 at a standard midnight to...

    SSC metering expanation , why cant a smart meter be fitted

    No .. "standard settlement configuration " ssc apparently.. although it does control storage heaters.. as do many of my customers smart meters .. so can't see this as a reason to refuse to fit a smart meter.

    DNO charges for upgrading 100A TP+N service

    Yes I can clamp meter it.. but I believe the total load is not more than 100A per phase anyway.. I believe the issue is that the supply is running at 80 - 95%% capacity for 10 to 12 hours a day on busy weeks .. but not over 100A a phase. I also believe that the issue here has been thermal...
