  • Hi All,

    Thanks for reponses really appreciate the adivce.

    I have attached the site drawing to answer a few questions

    There is 6 small bungalows being built, they would be going from house to house would imagine there would be no more than 6-8 on site at one time.

    My first impression would be the same as   with a few tools and ancillary power for the site cabin.

  • I think then for what is really a single team of workers.  I'd suggest you ask for the DNO to  quote for 100A and also 60A 1 phase - unless it is vastly more go for 100A - I suspect it would be the same cable in both cases and only the fuse changed. Might be worth trying to get the area engineer on the phone if you can but these days with web portals and all it is far harder to reach the right bod, as the 'have a nice day' team tend to get in the way rather.

    You probably want it to terminate in an isolator ( A REC 2 would do in a meter box) so you can re-configure things if need be without main fuse removal. (or even coil up cables and put them out of reach at the weekend if it is that sort of area where theft maybe an issue.)
