[QUOTE="binky, post: 500545, member: 490"] Not looked at tariffs for a long time, very interesting and all part of the 'smart network' they have been talking baout for years. Even with all the appliances running you are unlikley to top 80A - your solar panels wil help with that.. The main fuse will take some temporary power spikes at higher than 80A for shortish periods of time. Things like washing machines when not heating water will run at around 250W, so I would feel 80A is probbaly fine. John is correct though, they won't necessarily give you 100A as it depends on the house feed, but only the local DNO can advise you of that. Around my way, 80A is normal, and I have 60A being an older house. [/QUOTE]
