If you mean an immersion, where does it say that?
It is not a reg. It is in the OSG (guide) 8.5
Says water heaters in vessels > 15litres blah blah "should" be supplied by their own separate circuit.
Methinks this is to guide against immersions being plugged into ring final circuits that have other loads, rather than to suggest that immersion heater radials must be dedicated to that function only.
FFS its a radial circuit. All circuit design rules re loads and diversity apply.
Got a 13amp immersion and a 3 amp pump on a 2.5mm radial circuit protected by a 20amp CPD?
Super, jobs a good'un.
