As i said "I have no idea if this is a silly high figure or not"
I am sure I should know better but I cant think straight. It does not help but some of the appliances we will need have not been purchased and I cant find out their starting current.
I think I have quoted worst case scenario... everything running. 62.5 amps seem low.
21 or 27 amps are just in case but that still leaves 170 to account for.
I read somewhere that RCD's or MCB's can account for start up current so wont trip on start up.

I wish I knew what my main RCD was in my previous place, probably 100.

Anyway, if the network operator can tell me I can go from there.
An added note, apparently the property has 3 phase
