Gday,
Im doing a little homework on whats required by a electricain to prepare a new power connection to a spa from my house mains and hoping I can get some feedback from someone with experiance in this sort of thing.
- Spa needs 37amp but can work on 24amp (if mains cannot provide enough).
- Distance from mains to spa (run adjacent to existing pwr wiring in house roof) approx 25mtrs.
Is there a fairly simple way of judging how much power my house is using on average?
Whats kind of electrical wiring (gauge/diameter/core) is needed? Mains has 80A clipsal switch, does this need to be upgraded to 100A or 120A for example? Can we just drop in a new 40Amp cct breaker at the mains as a dedicated feed for the spa?
Thanks for any feedback,
Leigh.
