For the dwellings? There is nothing out of the ordinary for all electric properties from what I know. The annex is the size of a small 1 bedroom detached cottage.
Plus a load of 7550 amps would blow all the main fuse switches and the supply fuses fairly quickly.
I don't expect a small bill, we...
I wish I was growing drugs then I could pay for this bill.
Seriously, we have nothing that could be drawing that kind of massive consumption. No machinery, no motors etc.
The main house is quite large (6 bedroom), 3kw immersion heater (only for hot water and only used when there is no oil)...
He agrees that is likely an issue with the supply.
On a side note, our new meter is saying we have used 300kWh a day since it has been installed. So over 8 days.
This works out to £1,000 a month for electricity - and is over triple what we paid before the meter exchange. I can't fathom how we...
UPDATE: The 3 phase meter is installed and we have distributed the annexes to one on each phase.
While overall, the voltage tends to bottom out at 210v so this is an improvement. Not ideal though as we are still getting significant voltage drops at the supply.
No update from DNO as to what...
Ah getting the hopes up and then down again 😁.
I did another test to assess the voltage drop between the supply and annex.
Checked the annex voltage with both multimeters to assess for differences in calibration - both meters showed the same voltage so differences were within margin of...
Can't turn off all the consumer units at the moment but will do when I can. Yep using a clamp meter for amps around the live cable coming directly out of the 3 phase cutout.
Voltage probes on the negative and live Henley blocks (which is where the DNO also measured it)
We're in theydon Bois...
That sounds alot like the issue we had before (and kind of now) except yours is much worse if you could get it to 150v only at 40A. Last night, at 60A ours was measuring around 208v.
That's what I thought at first, although during the last fault, about 2 months ago, they dug up the cable...
I know the loading gets bandied about here but that really is a peak loading, for 90% of the time we are below 100A. When the DNO measured the voltage today at 225v it was at 25A - so hardly excessive or taxing.
But yes 3 phase is still planned so fingers crossed.
Update: the DNO had sent an engineer out today (I had no idea until he turned up at the gate). Anyway, I told him what happened, he was also here the last time (where much digging was done in the name of fault finding) and I told him that since the last area wide power cut it's gone back to how...
