[QUOTE="Geoff Toms, post: 549545, member: 37456"] What you're all saying is very heartening, but I do want to be safe too. I certainly don't want to fall into the trap of having a system where it all works but the cables get warm and plastic starts to melt. I'll get someone to work out our loads, and they'll hopefully agree with you that it either doesn't need an upgrade - or if it does, it'll be limited to a single phase increase from 100 to 125. A question about fuses / MCBs: Our DB has printed on it (I'm sure they all do) "Do not exceed 100A total load". Does that mean I shouldn't have all my MCBs/RCCDs adding up to more than 100A - or is that irrelevant and it's just talking about the calculated total load? (I hope it's the latter, cos we're going to be well over 100A on fuses/MCBs/RCCDs) [/QUOTE]
