Electrical Items using EHU

As others have mentioned the kettle is the odd one out.We use as 750 camping kettle and it does take slightly longer to boil but after a while you don't notice.

A typical 16 amp hookup will give you 3840 watts or 3.8kw so you can work out your requirements from that.

Hence why a domestic kettle has to be used with care.

Incidentially we have happily managed with 6 amp supply especially when abroad with no issues of tripping the site bollard.

Its there to be used but not abused!

We use all domestic products.

But I do keep an eye on what is being run simultaneously.

(like not putting the kettle on whist SWMBO is using the straighteners, if the heating is on)

Voltage can vary dependant on demand and so I work on max wattage being 220 x 16 on a 16amp bollard. 3.5kw. On a 10 amp bollard which I do encounter on occasion 2.2kw 

From Scottish Power: In the UK, the declared voltage and tolerance for an electricity supply is 230 volts -6%, +10%. This gives an allowed voltage range of 216.2 volts to 253.0 volts.

...so, a 3kw domestic kettle and just about anything else (charger) might result in a trip to the trip

One thing just to remember is that you may well have the space heater, fridge and water heater unbeknownst to you clicking in and out on their thermostats. There will be that occasion when all three click in at the same time, maybe when you flick that kettle on, this, in certain circumstances may be just enough to kick it out.

not everyone has a combi type device, so a separate 2kw space heater and 2kw water heater would be sufficient to trip the supply if they both kicked in at the same time.....

Are there separate 2kw water heaters?  The previous  van we had it was only 1kw

Kjell, no idea as weve only ever had 'combi' type heaters....

still, if 2kw and 1kw are kicking in together, thats arpund 88% of the available 'juice' according to Easy' low end Scottish Power level....add in the 'default' battery charger and youre nearly there...

so, be aware and keep your Crocs by the door....you never know when you might need them

Are you sure that the fridge and heating don't work off electric as well, if not as BB says its going to be expensive on gas especially if you are pay CC prices.
