    Power Rating

    Got a pic off a customer of a machine data plate. Bit odd with the two ratings and the other with the + signs in. Can anyone help? Is it startup and running current or something else? Am I also right in thinking the 1 st pic machine is going to pull about 47 Amp per phase? Thanks in advance

    Builder installed 175w / sq metre in an area 6.7 x 3.5. What should the fused spur be rated at and should it have a contractor as well? Am I correct in thinking it is drawing just over 17A therefore 13A fused spur is insufficient? Thanks

    TP&N voltage ratings for products, equipments etc are expressed alternatively as 440/250VAC or 250/440VAC (or 250/440 Vac etc), or in other representations. What is the "technically correct" format and in what standard/specification is it embedded? (is it IEC60050?). Thank you.
