I have installed Ring Final Circuit in 2.5 LOR 120m protected by 32A breaker
Volt drop calcs - 18mv/a/m x 32A x 120m / 1000 = 69.
So the volts drop is 69 volts? which is way over the stated 3 or 5 %.
Am I diong this corectly and if so what can I do about the volts drop?
Cheers

Hi can anyone tell me why my intruder alarm external siren keeps sounding when I turn the power off in my house? Surely this shouldn't happen ? Cheers.
hi all,
My shower blew up in my face the other day, and after ringing my spark he asked me to buy an 8kW shower and he'd fit it when I have it.
Any particular models or brands you recommend please? TBH I can't see any 8kW ones, just 7.5 or 8.5?!
BTW I've been quoted £60 for fitting...
