Hi, Can anyone please help me check on what would be required for a new 45A circuit to feed a pottery Kiln. I will get an electrician to do this work but want to double check on here (before buying the kiln) to make sure it is done safely and correctly. Thanks.
Currently my house has a 60Amp main fuse and has just been completely rewired from this point on with a new consumer unit configured as follows :
80A RCD
32A MCB (Cooker)
20A MCB (sockets)
20A MCB (Sockets)
6A MCB (Lights)
80A RCD
32A MCB (Kitchen Sockets, ring)
20A MCB (Sockets)
6A MCB (Lights)
6A MCB (Lights)
There are quite a few spare slots on the consumer unit as I requested this for expansion when the rewire was done.
My guess would be that a new 45A circuit should be fitted with it's own RCD as adding it in to one of the existing ones would over load it (or can one of these be increased accordingly)? Also, would the main 60Amp fuse to the properly be too low? I thought these were normally 100Amp but could be wrong.
Many thanks for any help.
