Some info on the reno/current status:
- Itβs currently 3 phase
-Estimated reno to have about :
100 x downlights (mostly 4β indoor and 6β outdoor) β likely to get casing + LED bulb (9-11W)
65 x 13AMP sockets
6 x 15AMP or 20AMP for instant/storage heater for 6 bathrooms (15 or 20AMP?)
Usually I will isolate the area and just focus on the number of circuits for the lighting.
Eg, Master Bedroom- 1x Cove Lighting, 3 or 4 circuits for Downlight/Track Lights. Any other lighting will be just looping.
Same goes for power socket and I usually use the 2-gang instead of the 1-gang SSO.
It is also best to use different ELCB/RCCB for power and lighting circuit. For my own DB, I used 3 different RCCB, 1 each for Power/A/Cond (100mA), Lighting (30mA) and my Solar Heater (10mA) for practicality and safety.
Storage tank heater uses 3KW heating element while instant shower heater uses 3.6KW heating element.
In terms of efficiency, nothing beats Solar Heater.
Rule of thumb, cable size is equivalent to 10x of current carrying capacity, eg 2.5mm = 25A.
Unless you are talking about 3HP and above AC, there is no need to go for 4mm cable size.
