Hi guys,
I had a 3kw pool heater (portable looking type) that had a plug installed on it, anyway Ive bought a new pool heater which is 5kw and its not come with a plug.
I know this is because you cant run a 5kw appliance off a 13amp fuse otherwise it will blow
im gathering the correct way to install this would be to put it on its own circuit but this seems a bit over the top as it not like its going to be used all the time. Just the occassional use
anyway, could you recommend a way of connecting this up tempoarary, so i can use it as a nd when please
i know this isnt the 'correct way' but a ring main circuit on a 32amp mcb will take 7.2kw. could i make sure nothing else is switched on, on the ring main and connect it via a plug, fuse removed or another connection type
advice appreciated
