Salamander CT 50 wiring help

[rawsox]

The pump has 3 wires coming from it, brown (single phase line), blue (neutral), yellow/green bi colour (protective earth), can i simply install a plug to the end of the wire with a 13a fuse and plug it into a socket? or do i have to fit isolator and wire it to the mains? Its going to be installed under my bath, so the wire would be fed to the mains in the loft. I hope its the easy plug option lol. cheers

Yes, just put a plug on it and away you go.

Under a bath ?

Check with Salamander Technical about this.

Never install in a bathroom unless in an enclosed space and access is only possible with an appropriate tool

Electrical safety, is there an RCD protecting the supply ( socket ) you want to use for the pump ?

 

[rawsox]

Yeah its going under the bath which is waterproof underthere and i will ensure that there is a circuit breaker rcd on the plug. wherever you put a pump surely it has to be near water anyway so im not worried. Cheers for the advice

The pump needs to be next to the cylinder, as the water is 'pushed' by putting the pump under the bath the water is being 'pulled'. Read the instructions it will say the same thing.

Best position perhaps but as long as the head of water is sufficient I don't think it matters.

Indeed, with appropriate plumbing the pump can be above the cylinder.

13A fuse is probably too large. Check the installation instructions, but you'll likely need to swap the 13A for a 3A
