Just started doing my first block of flats as a Qualified supervisor.
I have 5 flats and a landlords supply to wire up.
Done my calculations a while back and told the DNO I would need require ADMD of 12.5 kva for each flat which I thought was reasonable, Considering I have 3 rings, 2 lighting , 1 UFH supply and a small oven circuit.
Just to check I phoned the NICEIC technical to reassure I done the right calcs in the Onsite guide table etc. They basically said you can make it up it's more or less common sense to the load you would achieve??
But my dilemma is the DNO wrote this back to me but I would have thought this was a rather small supply?
UK Power Networks would in general expect the (ADMD - after diversity
maximum demand) for a gas heated flat/house to be between 1.5kVA and
3.0kVA and an electric heated flat/house to be between 5kVA & 10kVA
unless abnormal high usage appliances are being installed.
