Wiring a bathroom heater.

[Chri5]

What is the rating of the RCD 100 mA or 30mA ?

If you could read the details from it and post back.

Standard practice would be to fit a flex outlet place near the heater, run from there to the fused spur in 2.5mm twin and earth (you *could* get away with smaller, but its just not the 'done thing'), and then flex the heater up with 1.5mm heat resistant flex, 13A fuse in spur

Make sure this circuit is included in the sup bonding and note that the work you intend to dois notifiable

I'm not questioning you Chris but just curious, why is this standard practice?

Hi chri5, sorry i have just got back to you.

The RCD rating is 63A load & 30mA trip.

Not if it falls outside the 16th Edition Zones, which it sounds as if it might do.

Can you post a picture of the fuse box and the surrounding area? This is sounding odder by the minute.

Why did he fit an earth rod? Did you not have a main earth before?

I have concerns about your electrical installation on the above aspects. Where is this 30mA RCD located?
