Hi, In your opinon is 20amp more than suitable for an 3 bedroom upstairs circuit, cant think why they really need to be 32amp maybe if you started plugging in 3kw heaters :)

thanks
 
well....to me its a case of consultation with the client here.....ask them what they propose to run from upstairs points.....
hoover (occasionally or not)...bedside lamps....telly and playstation perhaps.....
hardly heavy loads are they.....
 
as above. never known a bedroom area to pull more than 10A unless there is some heavy lighting for adult films or a cannabis farm in the attic.
 
id agree 20A is acceptable. Modern hotel rooms with individual fuseboards are putting the power circuit on a 20A mcb and they have electric panel heater, kettle, hair dryer and a few sockets on them.
