Hello
I have a 16A hot tub on a 32A circuit (6mm cable) via a rotary isolator. It's in the perfect place for me to add a garden socket.
I understand there is a rule / guidance that appliances over 13A should be on a dedicated circuit but is this a should or a must? For example I would compare this to a cooker switch with inbuilt socket. Clearly I have ample headroom on circuit current, even without considering diversity and the infrequent use of the socket.
Thanks
