[QUOTE="binky, post: 554737, member: 490"] diversity calcs are mostly rubbish! The more circuits the better, but diversity calcs would sugggest the way I rewire a house overloads the supply multiple times :D The more circuits the higher the figure, but more circuits is better for a whole host of reasons. What you actually need to look at is total load per cct, and total load of the main supply. Unless you want to run a commerical size arc welder its' highly unlikley you would ever overload the main supply in a standard house, but your understanding of how this works is also the downsisde of DIY - you don't, same as I don't understand medical stuff my doctor tells me. At the risk of sounding rude, get a sparky involved [B]now[/B], most of us are happy for you to do the donkey work, ie running cables in to save money, as long as you get us involved upfront, so we can supervise the work and design the ccts.
