Thanks for your reply Midwest.
I appreciate that no one suggested keeping the 2.5mm cable to the island to run the hob and socket but at the same time whilst advising me it was viable with diversity I was expecting some responses being alarmed like myself that they wanted me to install a cable...
Thanks for the reply's again all very much appreciated.
I appreciate what you have said about the 2.5mm cable to the hob and 13A socket for the island but even with that diversity applied it would still be around the max carrying capacity and my mrs will have all 4 plates of that hob at full...
Thanks again.
Good idea with the 45A connection points then a back box for either connecting a socket face or an fcu but another slight problem is that there is nowhere to put any switched items as the cupboards are boxed in floor to ceiling so only option would be to place inside the top...
Thanks again chaps much appreciated but I think you will find that the whole purpose of this post was because I disagreed with the drawings that were sent to me and wanted to confirm this so I could wire this as per most of the advice so the general confirmation is what I was after although if...
Many thanks for the reply's to date.
Up until a couple of years ago one of the companies I work for were NICEIC registered and obviously part P was automatic when a fully registered member but we let this go when we wound that side of the company down. I will be going through local building...
Sorry guys I'm sure these points have been raised before but been busy searching.
I have been sent a diagram by the shop where we purchased our kitchen for the electrical wiring requirements and positions. I am a electrician to the 17th edition by trade but it's not my every day job nowadays so...
Thanks guys much appreciated and yes it is abit overkill (pardon the pun) but it is for family.
just a quick point sorry for the confusion but it was a mirror demister pad I was talking about although there will be UFH as well.
oh and for the few critics out there, yes as a sparky I probably...
Hi Guys
Was just wondering what you thoughts are on the following;
En-suite Bathroom - Require power for ceiling in line fan, Power for towel Rail heater, Power for Shaver Socket, Power for heated mirror mat, Power for light above mirror, Power for light in wall cuboard. There is obviously...
Yep sorry about that, Risteard is right. Although your calculations are correct the regs (including the on-site guide) state you should assume a min of 100w at each point. Should have remembered they always try to catch you with that one. Long time ago.
Hi Sparky,
You dont need any help, what you have done is correct. We used to say 1KW (1000 watts) was 4amp just for ease but on actual figues using 230v you are spot on. Obviously a standard 1.5mm square twin and earth will carry considerably more amps than that so could in theory be fused at...
