Hi,
Im filling a Certificate out for the board change ive just done and am having problems with maximum demand. Its got a 60A BS1361 Type 2B Mainfuse.
Circuits are:
RCD1
Downstairs Ring 32A
Shower 32A
Upstairs Lights 6A
Kitchen Lights 6A
Alarm 6A
RCD2
Kitchen Ring 32A
Upstairs Ring 32A
Immersion 16A
Downstairs Lights 6A
Loft Lights 6A
This is a 2 Bed Mid Terraced house.
Ive worked it out as the biggest one 32A + (the remainder x 0.4) which i get 88.8A which is more than the 60A Mainfuse.
I know that 6A for the loft lights will actually be a maximum of 240W which is 1.04A and kitchen lights on 6A breaker is 3 flourescent tubes only so probably about an amp tops.
Can i put down max demand of 88.8A on a 60A Mainfuse or is there a better way of working it out.
Ive got regs osg etc so will check through these now.
Thanks in advance for any help
CheersGuinness
Edit: Or do you recon I should turn everything on and clamp the tails?
