Hi There,
Moving into deeper waters & needing a little assistance with calculating maximum demand/diversity on a farm/light industrial site planning to upgrade to 3 phase, add a car repair workshop, 63A events socket & allow for future proofing.
Current single phase setup:
Diversity for...
Hi all,
I have been asked to install an induction hob to an existing circuit on a 32amp mcb. The oven is a Siemens HB13NB521B rated at 20amp, the hob is a samsung NZ64H37070K rated at 32amp.
My friend is telling me that he has been told by "the man in the shop" he can run both on the one...
I'm going to rewire my house, and was wondering if it's ok to have 2 shower circuits as well as cooker, sockets and lights off 1 cu, or would it be better to have 1 of the showers on a separate cu, because of the available water pressure the 2 showers are never on together.
Hi all,
Can I please check my understanding of diversity for cooker circuits and the installations of cookers.
My understanding is for cooker circuits (cooking appliances) is you take the first 10A then 30% of the remainder plus 5 A if you have a socket on the circuit. To me this means if I...

good evening all!
sorry it is a late one. I have been doing a college assignment over the past 2 days which involves designing circuits calculating design current, volt drop and all that good stuff. One aspect is applying diversity. Now usually I am fine with this. I know to use table A2 of...
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...
Morning all,
Thumbing through the OSG guide today and I have a couple of questions regarding the above table.
Firstly, just a idiot check but electric showers would fall into no.5 water heaters of the instantaneous type. I know this but so often doubt myself.
Secondly, No. 9. Am I right...
hi all
I've got a Rangemaster to install and just want to check my diversity calcs. It's say it's 14.5kw so I make the 63a using diversity I make it 26a or with a socket 31a.
There is a 6mm cable on a 32a mcb, I'm thinking of changing it for 10mm and 40a mcb as its a bit close to max of the...
Hi Guys
I'm doing an EICR and making expansion proposals for a Caravan Site. This is for holiday not static caravans.
Simple question - how many 16 amp outlets can I have off a 63 Amp supply?
Currently 8 pitches are fed from a DB containing individual 16 Amp RCBOs, fed from a 63 amp supply...
Hi, I have a customer who has bought a 7Kw hob to compliment a 4.8Kw double oven. He didn't realise the extra power consumption would put additional loading on the existing 6mm cable. My initial response was to tell him that an additional circuit was required and due to locations of consumer...
Hi i'm currently doing some course work and have no access to the On site guide.
Does anyone happen to know the diversity for, lighting, ring mains, Welding equipment, TP-N equipment and a car ramps. The building is an Office building and a workshop,
Thanks.

woh, long title, sorry. I ask because I have never clamped a cooker circuit before. I did yesterday, hob was labeled 6ka and when all 4 rings were on full, from cold, it pulled 31a for a good 5 minutes till the thermostats started kicking in. all well within the constraints of cable, but not...
Hi all,
Looking at replacing kitchen. Current setup is 2.2kw oven, 5.6kw hob.. total = 7.8kw on 6mm cable, back to a 40a breaker. The current cable run is short..
2m from CU, in breezeblock/plaster..
2m clipped direct, to a 45a switch (for oven in tower)..
3m spurred from that, on...
Could someone please just giving me the nod that I'm not nuts!
Simple cooker swap big range induction beast with max draw of 16.2Kw
With a socket I make it 33Amp.
Imagine my confusion when customers shows me all the materials he has for the job which a spark has charged £500 for but no longer...
Been told today by an nic chappy they no longer apply it even when conditions allow . Asked him for the reg and the reply was ( i dont know the reg but its in the red book ) .
Hi all,
I recently started training to become a domestic installer. I have some practical experience and some knowledge of part P. Also done a little testing but only continuity and insulation resistance.
A friend of mine is fitting a new kitchen and will be having two ovens side by side. He...
