Hi there,
I'm installing two ovens, each with a total load rating of 3.5kW. (see details of oven here). The kitchen already has a 20A double pole switch and a 45A dual outlet plate. Is the switch sufficient because I've calculated that the current is likely to exceed 20A? However, I'm not sure...

Hi, I'm a newbie here and I need help with starting some 2 pole 20KW motors, can I still use the normal 22KW DOL starters or is it better to upgrade the starters because of the larger starting current - any advice would be gratefully received, Thanks kjwudsph
Hi all,

As in the title, when putting in a new set of lights in a house i ran the perm live, earth and neutral down to the switch then ran switched live and neutral up to the lights. Is this bad form? I know it's not unsafe. Just wondered if you thought it was rough. I thought it was industrious as I...

Hi all,
63A 4 pole MCB is it mean that it will trip when the total current of the 3 phase supply exceed 63A? Or it will only trip when only any of the phase current exceed 63A?
Have seen two types of double gang socket outlets, single pole and double pole. Not sure what the difference is. My guess is one is for use on a spur and one for a ring final but would like a definitive answer. Thx
