Well I'm stuffed then. Garage 15m from house, 6mm 2 core swa supply.

6 lights

Mig Welder

Stick welder

2 lathes

raduial Arm drill

bench grinder

linisher

ultrasonic cleaner

3KVa 110 transformer permanently plugged in

and a load of other stuff

all off a 3036 fuse...boy oh boy am I going to have problems...30 years on and Fuse has never lifted... :coat

the chances of it all being on at same time are about as good as Victoria Beckham reviving her singing career

 
I would have to challenge the word "singing" mate. "Revive"......yeah, okay I suppose. "Career"......WTF?????

But "singing". I believe the correct technical term is "caterwauling" (Sandra - word of the day ;) )

 
One thing I am sure it goes to show is how if we all followed the big red book to the word , how drastically over sized most of the cables we run could be and if followed to the letter how much the cost would be compared to a horse loving gent who might just use a T&E clipped to the fence.

This has from my point of view been a very worthwhile and very informative thread, thanks to all those that have contributed.
