I am thinking of making use of the 16A tripped supply in my airing cupboard for a shower pump. The only thing is a previous owner of the house has been there before me and taken two fused spurs off the back of the immersion fused outlet supplying the central heating boiler & circulation pump/timer.
Assuming the Immersion heater is 3kw. The Shower Pump is no more than 200w. The Central Heating Pump is say <100 watts. The boiler is say <100w. At 3400W (14A) am I pushing the limit of the 16A breaker in the Consumer Unit?
Each of the spurs of the back of the Immersion outlet will be a switched/fused outlet with the shower pump going through a 30mA RCD switched/fused outlet.
Is what I'm doing considered best practise under the circumstances?
Any advice/opinion would be gratefully received.
