    S1A S2A S4A how to know which one for 3036 fused?

    Moving CU away from service head. SPD at the fused switch or CU?

    I'm moving my CU away from the service head. About 8m in 25mm2 SWA. Do I need to put an SPD T2 at the 100a fused switch I'm installing or can I get away with just having one at the new CU location? I'm struggling to find options for the service head location. They a lot more expensive and the...

    UK Can a 1.5kW wall mounted convector heater be supplied via a 13A fused plug?

    Apparently Dimplex only guarantee their heaters if they are permanently wired in to a fused outlet. If the socket is only about 600mm from the heater and the cable is clipped to the wall or skirting board instead of trailing across the floor then what's the difference? Any thoughts?
