I've noticed that the shower is not on the RCD side - it could be a bodge install, looking at the way the cable has been run into it from the top....
Your 'boiler' is not a boiler! It is a water heater, a direct, unventedm, mains pressure water heater or 'cylinder'. There is very little to service on them at all - a service will not improve performance. As you only have one element, you cannot even say "perhaps one of my elements is faulty".
Yes, there is a single element, and the E7 circuit is connected on the normal setting.is that poss on those dual immersion controllers?
Assuming the cable is 6mm as suggested then you will need to lower the size of the MCB to 40Amps and put it on the RCD side of the CU.So going back to the other questions:
- What considerations would I need to take if I was to replace it with another 8.5kw unit? (As im pretty sure its not operating correctly)
10mm cable 50Amp MCB and put it on the RCD side of the CU.- If I was to put in a 10.5kw unit, apart from the cable, what considerations would I need to take? mcb, rcb, etc
Cheers.
6mm is solid copper strand and 10mm is several strands.
is that right?
Correct for modern cables - although was he talking about the cpc?The 6mm cable has a Solid Earth conductor, whilst the 10mm cable has a Stranded Earth Conductor.
