[QUOTE="misssweden, post: 382710, member: 20541"] Mostly people apply for an upgraded supply when their sparky advises that what they have isn't sufficient for their needs. I did an upgrade last week where the lady in question was having one of them mega bucks all singing and dancing cookers with an induction hob installed and her old 60 amp supply was upgraded to 100 amp. The mains cable will most likely be under the footpath and unless is more than one cable in there it's probably feeding that streetlight. (Additional fact for forumites; did you know that old PILC cable sometimes have a tiny 5th core just for running streetlights? :) ). I make good chocolate chip cookies. Just sayin'... :D [/QUOTE]
