So I have a 3kW immersion and currently wired to a switcher fused spur. I'd like to add a boost timer and have seen Timeguard FBT4N.
Reads like the new timer fused spur replaces the current switched fused spur. However this timer fused spur is 13Amp. Will this last on a 3kW, 3kW is the max for 13Amp isn't it? I Can't seem to find the same direct replacement with this boost function at higher rating e.g. 16amp. Why not? I only see 24 or 7 day timers at higher rating. I don't want those I just want to have a timer on a boost so it doesn't get left on by housesitters and forgetfulness. I'd rather this neat solution than wiring a timer in series and yet surely 13Amp is just anticipating failure sooner rather than later?
