[QUOTE="toontoonizer, post: 503759, member: 33054"] Well the main house and annex have separate consumer units so the load would never be over 100amps at any consumer unit - either way, I appreciate your advice and indeed i think a loop test needs to be done at the main and each consumer unit. Plugging my car to charge will drop 10volts, turning the hoover on will drop 3 volts, toaster is 5v, coffee machine is 5w, our largest underfloor heating loop is 6v. The stove is an induction hob with a max 7.2kw draw so I'm sure that would annihilate my supply if it was being used heavily. It's predictably always the same amount of drop as you can see, it's been happening for long enough that I know how much drop each appliance causes. [/QUOTE]
