Great minds aye Patch lol

:^O ........ so really theres no prob with them being on a 13A plugtop fuse ?? as its only drawing 13.04A and that fuse wont think of blowing till about 18-20A or is it more to do with it heavily loading one part of the ring?

I'd wait for an electrician to come along, but It's taking up a good chunk of the available amps on a 32A ring or a 20A radial. Also possibly 'unbalance' the ring? Also since water + electricity good way to get tripping as element corrodes and takes ring out too. And safe isolation. And might be nice to plug a light into the sockets to illuminate the dark cupboard/loftspace where the immersion located!

Them's my amateur thoughts!

Check the regs. Little project for you

Fixed equipment + 2 kw and recommendation?

If you had seen the number of burnt out 13A fuse carriers in FCU used on immersion heaters over the years, even if load should be ok, then you would see why a 20 Amp DP switch on a dedicated radial is the best way.

Same with 3.4 kw storage heaters, bandits will replace 20 A DP with a FCU.

 

[Atty]

Water heaters fitted to storage vessels in excess of 15 litres capacity, or permanently connected heated appliances forming part of a comprehensive space heating installation, should be supplied by their own seperate circuit.

Immersion heaters should be supplied through a switched cord-outlet connection unit complying with BS 1364-4. OSG p161 :^O
