Hi there, I'm new to this forum and I'm having a go at domestic electrical work. I have just started a re wire on a freinds house and i could do with a few questions answered please.
Basically its a terrace 3 bedroom property.
It has a small cellar with a fridge and a boiler and a couple of sockets.
Ground floor there's the kitchen only a simple lay out with an electric oven gas hob, fridge, washing machine and about 4 double socket outlets. Also the living room which is only simple with 4 double socket oulets.
1st floor 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. There are aonly about 6 double socket on this level and the shower is not electrically heated but has a pump to pressure the water.
2nd floor 1 bedroom and a computer room. There's only 5 double sockets on this level.
The house is not crammed with all the electrical gadgets and lighting is basic on all levels. I'm putting interlinked alarms on 3 floors and thats about the scale of it.
NOW regarding the consumer unit...He wants me to have a seperate ciruit bracker for lights and sockets on all levels and separate kitchen sockets...So that's....
5x 32amp sockets
4x 5amp lighting
1x 5amp smoke....or should I piggy back one of the lighting circuits???
1x heating system but I'm not sure if it's immersion yet but lets imagine it is????
So based on that and cosidering there not alot being used sockets wise and light wise how should I work out the maximum demand and divesity?? The main incoming is 100amp would I be ok???
This may sound easy for you guys but i'm a newby to domestic wiring and I dont want to mess things up. I've looked at the OSG but reading tables is not as clear as hearing it from out in the field??
I hope you can help!!
Cheers,
