[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 503762, member: 250"] Just banding around random figures of voltages and items you plug in is of little use.. (Like me saying my shopping is expensive... But not listed what items we bought! ) Unless you are also able to quote a circuit characteristics as well... i.e. cables lengths.. conductor sizes.. As a 10A oven WILL drop 10v from the origin of your installation if it happens to be run via a 135m 6.0mm T&E cable.. (and/or via some combination of other sub-main sharing other significant loads..) AND 50m of 25mm carrying 100A will drop nearly 8.75V Basically you have an overloaded single phase IMHO. I am guessing 27 acres and two annexes are not going to be short cable runs? How long and what size cables re on the runs to the annex's? [/QUOTE]
