Lpg Hose

Any ideas on sourcing LPG hoses with end fittings similar to the water hose connections so common in Thailand. Unfortunately the water hoses are not compatable with LPG.

Thanks

What Is The Best Switchboard Configuration?

2011-05-14 16:39:24

A question for the sparkie’s regarding switchboard configuration.

I am at the point with our house project of thinking about the electrics / switchboard etc.

I envisage         3 power outlet circuits

                        3 water heater circuits

                        3 a/c units with provision on the board for an extra 2

                        3 light circuits

                        1 circuit for outside lights and security

                        1 circuit to a sub-main in the kitchen for power outlets, oven, exhaust fan and                            power to the pump house.



                        Possibly a couple more circuits and a spare or 2 as we think thru it.

The question now is what is the best arrangement for the switch board configuration, price is well down the list of priorities; the main point is safety, function and practicality.

I see 3 options

1. 1 RCBO controlling all circuits via MCB’s – This is ok except a nuisance trip puts all power out.

2.  RCBO’s on all circuits – maybe overkill and the most expensive.

3. A split board with the power outlets, water heaters and possibly the a/c units with individual RCBO’s  in one group and the remaining circuits in the other group with 1 RCBO and MCB’s. This arrangement seems the most logical – probably just a little more complex in assembly.

All thoughts, comments, and suggestions are most welcome



Thanks.
