Hi there im installing 2 creda 2kw panel heaters in a large room and basically I want to find out what mcb's I should put them on .
Im running 2 radial circuits for them in 4mm single cables as there is trunking around the room one panel heater is approx 15m away the other is 20 m away from the board . Im going to put 2 FCUs in 1 for each just wondering what breaker I should put in for each would 2 16 amp breakers do ...

many thanks

Am I right in working out the current drawn on one heater would be

current = 2000 watts / 230 v = 8.69 amps so If I use a 16 amp breaker that would be adaquate anyone willing to confirm this would be much appreciated
