Discuss hot tub supply in domestic dwelling 32A, 100A supply in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Surely when the supply company connect up they have to clearly identify the current rating of the supply! The seals aren't meant to be cut off to find this out when you do an Niceic test are they?
Are they all heat lamps?!...The fuse is deffo 100amp bs1361 ,unless anyone knows the resistance for a 60amp 80amp 100amp! The fuse inside is fully enclosed !! With all the lights,4 tv's, fridge freezer oven,half the sockets with lamps on its about 60 amp according to my clip on, that minus washer and dishwasher and dryer and the hot tub

Welcome back fella, we have missed youOnly in your wildest dreams!!!
I'd sling that amp clamp in the bin if i were you if it's reading 60A for what you have stated were the circuits being used....
Seems that you can't be bothered to listen to what anyones trying to tell you. Your DNO cut-out fuse carrier is just that, a carrier, it can hold a 60A, 80A or a 100A BS 1361 or now a BS 88 cartridge fuse..... So what make you so sure that it's 100A then??
I clearly missed the memo about forum members having to be touchy-feely!?Please be reminded that if your reply can't help the original poster, it may be seen as pointless and taking the thread off topic. Please make sure what you are about to post is in-keeping with the forum rules, specifically the "be nice" rule. Just be nice and helpful (even to new members) or don't reply at all please. Also note that we urge all members, regular or new, to report any posts that are off-topic, pointless or offensive.
Good luck fella (big kiss and cuddle)
No offence but do you know all aspects of electrical wiring? The sparkys on site who I meet can only wire houses, when it comes to star /delta delta 690v and control circuits with relays and plc's, the don't have a Scooby do either! We all have different fields that we are good in and when I am not sure Is ask.:89:
I agree to an extent but regardless as to what field your in this is very basic stuff ???
Only you know what your house is pulling so only you can make a decision as to whether your hot tub will overload your supply???
Say for instance your correct and your main fuse is 100 amp, do you seriously think you will pull over 100 amps at any one point????
If you are that worried why dont you switch on everything in your house and clamp it to see what your pulling !!!
I think what has been forgotten is that your hot tub will only likely ever pull 32A when first heating up. It'll just be ticking over keeping temperature, etc. for the rest of the time. If you are that worried about it turn everything else off when you first power it up!
welcome to the forum dude,check out Manchester Evening News 22nd July,Tuesday this week,Title;VERY HOT TUB...
It is normally a 80A fuse inside. With your board up to full load tong test your incomer. For your hot tub run a 6mm T+E from your 32A mcb this will future proof your circuit. Just think there are thousands of these things are sold for peoples homes and not a problem as you are not running your board at full load on each circuit ever.now look fella pull yourself together, if you look at what you have posted again you will see you have the same as everybody else in your street except some of them have 10kw showers as well, come on man get a grip.
