    Using an inverter for home backup power

    3Phase wiring into single phase supply

    Is it one that can be wired either 3 phase or single? Some you just link the l1 l2 and l3 but check the instructions

    Air conditioning

    As many sparks do we install supplies to air con units which we test, certify and move on. We never get involved in an6 of the interconnection wiring as the AC companies do this themselves but my question is, should they be issuing certification for this, possibly a minor works as they are...

    Max demand & diversity advice needed

    It doesn't matter what the total load of the breakers adds up to, thats a load of old rubbish, look at what loading to have, you might only be drawing 50 amps , who knows, only you can have a guess at what they need

    No RCD in sub main

    I dont have cable calc charts but I would have thought only 4 mm cable that might take 40 amp might be MICC

    Opinions please - leaking service head

    Its not uncommon unfortunately and quite unsitely, we have just had the same on a commercial site with the head rated at 100 amp fuses but we were only pulling about 70, the supplier couldn't give a stuff

    2 Consumer Units or 1?

    If that what the Op wants then who are we to argue against him, he obviously has his reasons, perhaps he is renting rooms out, in which case might I suggest you install RCBO's instead of RCD's and MCB's, it does seem quite elaborate if it is just a family home though
