[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 497671, member: 2012"] adding breaker sizes doesnt work very well and doesnt give a realistic value i.e you have an old house with a 5a for lights and a 30a for sockets. total 35a. you rewire it with 6a up lights 6a down lights 32a down sockets 32a up sockets 40a cooker outlet 6a smoke detectors 16a garage sockets you now have a total of 138a, over 100a more than before, ye the actual power being used hasnt changed from before [/QUOTE]
