FUSED SPUR for electric towel rail

[XFX]

Hi just looking for sum validation on install. Have a 20amp dp switch on outside of bathroom that was used to power an old electric shower which has been removed. I have taken a spur from this switch to a 13amp unswitched fused unit (used the zone guide for placement of socket )this now powers electric towel rail. The supply for the 20 amp dp switch is str8 from the breaker box and its a 16amp supply (I used 1.5mm cable from old 20amp dp switch to fuse as heater is only 600w). I think the 13 amp fuse is too high a rating for the heater mayb drop to a 5amp? please any feedback guys


thanks

I think there are regulations similar to Part P in Scotland and I don't ken what they permit.

Apart from that it all seems OK.

It would be normal to complete a minor works certificate and this will have earth loop impedance, tripping times for RCD, type of earth system used etc. You will of course need to complete the paperwork as if anything goes wrong in the future without the paperwork which is considered to prove you have tested everything you have no way to show you tested and fulfilled your duty of care.

On this 600 watt heating circuit, all you need is a Three Amp fuse, because 600watts divided into 230volts gives just under three amps.
