Hello All,
Iv been asked to pick up the remedials on someone else's EICR that was done last year on a school for Deaf Children. One of the items listed on the report is the conductors leading to the sub mains from the main panel are undersized. I popped the cover off to have a look and sure...
Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum. I'm currently doing my C&G 2365 and I've found myself completely stumped on a problem that's probably quite simple, but which I've had a lot of conflicting answers for from various people, which has left me a little confused.
I'm working on a design...

Hi,
Looking at a potential job. Agricultural buildings being divided into 10 mixed use units of around 1000 sq ft each.
Present supply is a 100A TPN incomer.
Future use of units is unknown at this stage, but planning is for B1 B2 so uses could be anything from a warehouse with a bit of lighting...
Hi guys, I have been asked to fit a ring main in a utility room currently being built with a outside socket and a lighting circuit with 4 led lamps and a outdoor light, this much I am comfortable with.
My issue is with the max demand,
The current consumer unit is loaded to the max with 212amp...
A client contact me as they are getting the supply upgraded to a block of flats and UKPN need a figure adjusted for diversity for each flat.
The original contact didn’t give a crap about the supply capacity.
x6 flats have been refurbished and during this process x6 15kw electric boilers for...

New build houses, full system boilers with the big cylinders with seperate thermal cut out and temperature probe which come with a pre fitted link connecting them.
Have been told to remove this link and feed the main live feed for the whole system through it (after the fused switch spur) so if...
Hi
Thinking of ditching virgins big cahona bundle and possibly tv subscriptions altogether, what are the best services I can get for minimal outlay?
I'm paying over £100 per month and my contract will end soon, I am aiming to be less than £50 per month, so here is what I was thinking if you...
I have alluded to this in previous threads. The commercial site I work on has asked me what I think the total KVA for the site is. Having looked at various ways of viewing this I am getting lost with it. So if I just say
kVA = ( V*A*1.73)/1000 and assume supply is 400V and take the main incomer...
I've treated myself to the IET Electrical Installation Design guide. I've been looking at section 3.5 Complex Installations. There is a calculation for calculating demand based on number of dwellings in a group.
Please see picture of relevant page.
Seems simple, sub domain is 66.44A, demand...
Evening all..
I was at a job today and the plumber asked me to fit a supply for a 2 x 3kw immersion heater. I have asked him to send the model number so I can check the MI but have not heard from him.
I will be returning tomorrow to carry out the job.
I expect it is something like...
Hi there,
Looking for some advice with a new caravan park. There will be 25 plots for static with a potential 15 being added in the future. SP Energy have quoted to supply 150KVA 3phase. Now I work that out to be 216A but will that be per phase. And also does anyone know where I might find...
Hi, I am studying to become an electrician. I got a question wrong on a practice test.
Can anyone help me understand maximum demand.
this is the question I got wrong.....
Question 27: With reference to the nature of the supply, which one of the following can be determined by calculation...
Evening all. At the risk of being ridiculed I wonder if someone can clarify something for me!
On the initial inspection forms for installations there is a box for "maximum Demand". This can be in KVA or amps. I've been told that you add all the breakers on the board up then it is 40% of this...
Just started doing my first block of flats as a Qualified supervisor.
I have 5 flats and a landlords supply to wire up.
Done my calculations a while back and told the DNO I would need require ADMD of 12.5 kva for each flat which I thought was reasonable, Considering I have 3 rings, 2...
Hi I have an assignment to complete and it's asking for max demand before diversity and max demand with diversity, I'm basically stuck on how to work it out.
Any help is appreciated I have about 30-35 circuits
Does anyone know the working method the supply companies use to calculate after demand diversity.
Most new houses are supplied with 100amp fuses in the cut out.
Now obviously the average houses don't come anywhere near using that amount of current, however the DNO must allow a working average...
