Lighting spur off a fuse spur

[Mr. Anderson]

If you tried to google the manufacturers data you will see that the dryer alone is 10A

Bosch WTW86561GB ? dryer with heat pump | User device manuals for AEG-Elektrolux, Asus, Apple, Bosch, Canon, Gardena, HTC, Husqvarna, MSI, Philips, Samsung, Siemens

Lol. Ok I'll hold my hands up there and say I'm a thoughtless ---! Thanks for the tip.

I'm doubting my math now. To work out the amps when all I've got is the annual consumption I take the annual and divide by 365 (days) then by 24 (hours). This then gives me my watts per hour, I can then add up each appliance and divide by voltage to give me my total amps to find my breaker size?

what are you drinking tonight?

Now that rings a bell, thanks! So (and this is from memory so I may very well not be getting this right) if E=Pxt then because I've already got the watts per hour then the math for the tumble dryer is...
E=Pxt
1.4kWh=1400x1

A=w/v
5.8A=1400/240

So then a 6A fuse should take that load. Obviously I have other loads to add to that in this situation BUT from what you guys are saying that seems very low?

230 is the voltage used in calculations.

absinth with tequila chasers ?
lol.

In them situations just go to manufacturers website 1 min and bam 10amp for dryer rest will be just as easy to find.

I think he now knows that his cheap ring circuit FCU approach to supplying these types of white goods, isn't an option open to him. It's going to have to be a separate circuit out to this shed, or forget the idea altogether. lol!!

What's wrong with a 4 way adaptor lead through de winda

 

[Mr. Anderson]

The next idea...

You need an dedicated radial to the shed!

oops, sorry, I meant your customer needs a new radial.

PMSL :lol:

I don't think the OP is in the mood for advice.

May be he should employ a competent sparky!!!!

i'd have had it installed and tested by now.

how do you test a 4 way adapter?

 

[telectrix]

wet finger?

Functional test, plug them all in and wait for fuse to blown???

replace with a BS1362 nail.
