    Cooking appliances. Diversity versus practice

    Hi, I have a customer who has bought a 7Kw hob to compliment a 4.8Kw double oven. He didn't realise the extra power consumption would put additional loading on the existing 6mm cable. My initial response was to tell him that an additional circuit was required and due to locations of consumer...

    B.S. Number

    Hi Tony, I imagine I am like a good number of hard working contributors to this forum. I put myself in the "want to be as professional as I can be, but need more experience and the odd bit of help from those more knowledgeable category". So I always spend a little time thinking about my thread...

    External socket for caravan.

    I need to fit a 16A external socket to provide a feed for a caravan for appliance testing etc prior to going on the road. The main house has a TNCS earthing arrangement. I have checked out 708 and 721 of BS 7671 and it isn't giving me what I need to know. What is the best circuit arrangement for...
