[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 444150, member: 13534"] Hi Wayne, What Andy means is that; 1, The 5kw shower should really be on its own radial circuit in an ideal world. 2, The 8.5kw shower definitely should, and should most certainly not be not bodged in with a load of sockets on a ring. 3, Security Alarm / Sensors / Smoke Detector on a 32A... This is quite possibly the worst bit..... When you design a circuit, first off you decide what overcurrent protection you need for the load on the circuit. Only THEN do you decide what cable you need, based on quite a few factors, the primarly one of which, [i think it would be fair to say] is the[B] overcurrent device used[/B]. The cable selected MUST be suitable and compatible with your choice of overcurrent protection, this is vital. The cables that feed your smoke detectors, would certainly not be suitable for connection to a 32A circuit breaker... john.. [/QUOTE]
