Are your maths that bad?
W = I V
I =16.5
V = 9
Comes out a little heavier than a light bulb.
But not much.

Nope my maths is perfect, I=16.5 V=240 = around 4KW
Using your maths then why the do you need a separate spur? You are only drawing 148W from a socket capable of providing around 3KW. Your current draw, assuming 100% efficiency is only 0.6A @ 240V. Or am I missing something.

13a per spur...running 16a from it.
The machine room itself is spurred of the ring and has a separate board, but it is therefore susceptible to spikes and a dirty line as it is not a true ring.
The capacitance needed to kick start the fridge motors will reduce the output to the rest of the circuit.
I do not know the ratings of all the equipment, but it is obvious from the periodicity of the reboots that this is what is happening.
What I need to do is run a second spur from the main ring into the machine room.
I will probably knock up a bit of circuit too, a bridge rectifier and bung the output through a 555 hex inverter twice.
(Or 74ac14 which is a hex inverter with a schmitt trigger).
Bung a bit of capacitance onto the system and I should have a clean, spike free line with enough tolerance on drops to stop the reboots.

So the 16A includes the washing machine and other white goods?
I still think the best way to solve the problem is a UPS, that way you keep recording even if the power fails, they can be obtained for less than £60. Plug it in and see if the problem goes away.
Anyway that's what I would have dreamt.

How long did it take you to realize the problem was just a dream too?

that is correct. Did you look it up?

Nop, I just saw the film some days ago. If I recall correctly that is said by the trainer of the guardians island.
