[QUOTE="Drumtochty, post: 537193, member: 35881"] The car lift has been working for two years without an issue. I put a clamp meter on it the other day as someone brought one along with them, it recorded 20 amps at startup and went down to 12 amps after say 10 seconds. I 'm well aware that inexpensive clamp meters have a start up lag before they register a reading. My own car lift used to work of an C20 mcb but now after I had the garage certified by an approved electrician for my local council completion certificate. He changed he changed the mcb to a B32. As I got an electrical certificate from him that the local council accepted and gave me a completion certificate for my garage. I did not question the sparky. What would you look at in the car lift electrical installation mentioned in the original post? [/QUOTE]
