Yeah was thinking of taking the shower away. Even with doing that I would still want it to be a bit higher than 2.5KVA.

Thanks ProDave, I did say 13KVA they came back with 5.5KVA I said that I still don’t think that is enough. Eventually they came back with 10KVA felt like I was haggling with them. I was just wanting to confirm I wasn’t over exaggerating.

Wondering if anyone can help with this. My company has a new build development 12 x 2 bed semi detached. They have gas heating 1 electric shower en-suite, 7kW car charger. Roughly what would the average KVA be for these properties? Scottish power has come back with 2.5KVA per property but I...

Thanks for that Sidney, it’s appreciated. I got to say I didn’t think it would be a 50mm SWA. Don’t know if I would get that through the duct🙈

Sorry it’s 4 chargers 4 x 32amps

The load is 100Amps just now the board is on a TT  but I can run an earth in with the new SWA  Ze 0.08 its in a duct buried  45 meter run all that we are putting onto this board is 6 car charging points  6 x 32Amps

Hi Badger Would you have any time to help me out with this calculation?? Like I said I don’t have the Ze but just an idea would be helpful. Cheers

It’s the calculation part I’m not confident with. I would think a 35mm 4 core would be fine. If you can help me out with the calculation when you have time that would be great. 👍👍

🤣ok sorry bud

Hi m8, it’s 100Amp main switch a sub contractor installed a 16mm SWA for this already but it has been flagged that it is too small.    they now want the cable calculation. This is what I am struggling with.    cheers

To be honest I don’t know the Ze it is in a duct under ground with 5 other SWA  Ambient temp 30 😵 10mm sounds like he is penny pinching!   

I used a cable calculator online. What would you suggest then?? 

Hi All,  I am very rusty on cable calculations as I haven’t really needed to do it very often and kind of need a bit of reassurance.    I need to supply a 3 phase sub board, 45 meter run in a duct from one switch room to another. main supply is 100Amp  Sub board is a 3 phase 100Amp main...
