Having looked at various ways of viewing this I am getting lost with it. So if I just say kVA = ( V*A*1.73)/1000 and assume supply is 400V and take the main incomer...

    Evening all. At the risk of being ridiculed I wonder if someone can clarify something for me! On the initial inspection forms for installations there is a box for "maximum Demand". This can be in KVA or amps. I've been told that you add all the breakers on the board up then it is 40% of this...
