Hi All

as part of some work that is being done at my house there is a car hoist being installed.

I have been in touch with the car hoist mob and they have indicated that they want the shed wired up first. unfortunately in order to do this the bank needs to release the funds however to release the funds they have indicated they need to perform an inspection the property and sight the hoist along with the other components on the renovation to be present.

I have asked the hoist company if they will please do their calibration with power supplied using a 15 amp power extension lead connected to a 15 amp outlet on the side of the house and they have indicated that the resistance of the lead will cause start up capacitors to fail.

This sounds like bs to me. if a cable is rated to 15 amps that is its rating.

Can anyone confirm?
