I'm getting a Handy Heat underfloor cable mat installed in an en suite obviously it will need some power!
The en suite backs on to a wardrobe in which I'd like to house (hide) the cable mat thermostat and any associated cables. Just outside the wardrobe is a double socket.
The instruction book for the heat mat states "The circuit must incorporate a 30mA RCD protection. For installations below 13A, a fused spur or combined spur/RCD is recommended."
Can I run a spur from the double socket, fit one of these and just plug the mat in to satisfy the above RCD requirement? The spare socket would also be useful for her hair dryer which hangs in the same wardrobe.
2 Gang White Switched RCD Socket
Tripping Current 30ma
Includes Test Feature for Safety Checks
Detects alterations in the flow of Electrical Currents and Automatically disconnects the Power Supply
