UKPN came back to me and said they could supply 23kVA by routing from another source without additional cost so am going with that.
I got a quote from them and ma now looking to find someone to do the contestable stuff. UKPN are very slow and the quote seems a lot.
Can anyone recommend a contractor that can do this kind of stuff in South London?
thanks
Hi Gus,
This thread has been very interesting. I am in a similar situation. I have a large house that is being converted to 4 x 1 bed flats for young professionals plus a landlord supply. That means 4 x dishwasher, washer/dryer, induction hob, electric oven etc. I also want the landlord supply to be enough to allow for an electric car charge point in the future. I also want to plan for the fact it's looking like gas boilers will be phased out in favor of electric within 10-15 years.
My spark came back and said each flat would have an 80Amp (AD) demand based on appliances and that 100Amp would be ideal given lighting, plugs etc So 23Kva.
5 x 23Kva = 115KVa
My next question is that Ryefield boards are designed to sit on a 100Amp supply (at least the ones I've looked at). A 115KVa supply would exceed this, no?
UK Power really need to do a dummys guide 101 on this.
Asking as a property owner/non-spark.
