Hi Guys,
Looking for a little advise regarding installation of new supply to feed a communal shower block at a caravan site.
The shower block will have 7x 8.5Kw electric showers, 2x 2Kw over-sink instantaneous water heaters, a couple of frost guard heaters and lighting with a couple of extractors. In total i calculate the max load to be just shy of 65Kw.
25mm 4core SWA has already been run back to the supply on recommendations by another electrician.
The problem I have is what size breaker to fit at the supply end ...
Most standard load 3 phase boards only allow a maximum rating of 63A for the MCBs and I know that this will be too small for the shower block.
I've calculated the max load as everything on at the same time due to the fact that the shower block will be used during both summer / winter.
The way I see it, everybody could all turn up at once to shower/wash so I can't really justify using diversity.
Based on this, I'm thinking that the submain will need to have overload protection of over 80A.
Any help would be great,
Thanks guys ...
