Yet another thing I can't get my head round - :smug2:
I'm obviously missing something apart from hair and more than a few little grey cells.
When I size up the consumption on the new bungalow I get the following rough consumption figures.
Total possible load - everything switched on at same time - 190 Amps
Worst estimated case - actual - 96 Amps. That's with 3 air cons, oven, 1 water heater and some odds and ends (kettle, TVs, etc.).
However my supply will only be 30 Amps so how does everything still work? 30 Amps is only 7 KW.
My own house has similar electrical stuff and the same supply but we have no problem with overloading.
I've read comments about diversity but even then I can't see how the supply can balance the load.
