Hello all
I have just installed a 7kw shower (6mm cable) with 45amp pull cord. The c/u is a 60 amp 5 way board, so I need to change this as well as the diversity required in the house will out strip the usage. My question is, can I add a 30ma RCD directly to the new board instead of a separate shower unit? I will be installing a 30 amp MCB into the new c/u. would I be correct in assuming that I need to connect the new 30ma RCD to the 30 amp MCB in series?
Any help would be appreciated.
Also could the correct wiring be shown, i.e. phase, neutral on both the RCd and MCB?
Many thanks
