Sunbed Wiring / Supply

[Bettyboop44]

Hi
Have just purchased a 40 tube vertical Sunbed , load on plate is 6.7kw , am thinking of putting in a seperate 63A RCD with a 40A MCB to feed it ! , question is there any other safety precautions that should be installed/fitted to the Sunbed or is the RCD enough protection .

cheers

Yeah don’t do it, it’s bad for your skin. As someone who suffers from skin pre cancers through sun damage I see no advantages in using sun beds.

Sorry for being negative and not giving any technical input but I just don’t like the things.

PS what do the manufacturers instructions say about the installation?

Sounds adequate to me, but I'm with Roys - UV is bad for your skin, use it sparingly!

6.7kW is equivalent to a commercial oven.  Should cook you to a crisp nicely.

 Browned off in 10 minutes! 

I used to like the old sunbeds, ones you could spend half an hour in - used to find them quite theraputic, snoozing gently in a nice wrm place.
