It's losing 15% of 3kw

3000 * 0.15 = 450w

450 * 2 hours = 900w lost

Have I missed something?

Yes. You`ve missed having a scoob. I`ll put that right forthwith.

Good on you mate. *****.

I`d offer you one of MY beers; but I think trailer boyo has snaffled `em all.

Nope!

What`re YOU doing in MY van?????

Get your own, you, you, you.........

"gippo sparky, you" - travelling around the countryside in your sad little trailer.

(wait for it....."it`s not sad")

(It WILL be when I nick the wheels, and flog `em to steptoe, for Hercules` back end - it`s gone, don`t you know.)
