I have a 'garage unit' in my shed with 1 RCD and space for only 2 MCBs.
I have run a radial 1.5mm circuit for the lights from the 6A MCB and a 2.5mm ring circuit for the sockets from the 16a MCB.
Trouble is, I want to plug in a 3KW Dimplex heater (tough doing precision routing whilst shivering). Do I have to run a separate radial circuit for this (i.e scrap the 'garage unit' cos it doesn't have room for another MCB) or can I just replace the 16A MCB with a 32A and be done?
All replies gratefully received - this chilly girl wants warming up!!
