Filling in a connection card.....

for the supply company. Just a normal domestic house. I guess i am the designer. On the connection card it asks for expected demand in amps. Just wondering what everyonr normally puts in here and how do you work it out? Cheers.

Same as you have on your test sheets for dead tests which they will want.

Add up the power ratings of everything that might be connected to the supply to get the total load and then divide it by the mains voltage to give the current. This will be accurate for resistive loads only and will need allowances for any larg inductive ( or capacitive ) loads. Expected ?? under what circumstances?
