immersion heater, ovens switches

aberdeenpaul · 23 Sep 2008

i have a 3kw immersion heater, so i am wiring it with 2.5mm sq.T & E to a 13A DP switch then from here some butyl (or something similar) 2.5mm sq. cable to the heater box
is this ok?

also i have wired 2 ovens from CU with 2.5mm sq. T & E seperately(rated at 3.5kw and 3.6kw) but since it comes out at 15.22A and 15.65A would this be ok with a 13A DP switch also, as i don't believe you can get a 16A DP switch
please help?
thanks

Use a 20A dp switch and a 16A fuse in the CU.
