Connecting a socket to a switch?? In kitchen

[Jock from the north]

It is fused

Surely the correct way to feed the boiler if using 1.00 mm would be to fuse it down before it leaves the socket

What code did these attract ?

A c3 improvement reccomended ,would you have coded it atol?I was merely referring more to the original post where the boiler switch in question maybe fed from a socket in 1.00mm

If the 1.mm fed from a ring final is quite short and not likely to get damaged, feeds a Fcu that is suitably fused then no in my opinion it wouldn't attract a code.

Ideally it should be on its own circuit.

In the blue book bs7671 table 52.3 it states power circuits should have a minimum of 1.5mm csa

In the blue book bs7671 minimum csa for power circuits states 1.5mm and 1.00mm for lighting but this has been ammended on brown book to 1.00mm for both .we used to always wire boilers in 1.5 .table 52.3 .not including manufacturers appliance flex .in saying that we always used 1.00 for smoke alarms which isn't a light although could be part of lighting circuit

Hey i opened it up .

It's connected to its on MCB at 6amps. Also its part of an RCB protection. As when I pulled down the rcb connection. It turned off the switch and boiler too.

The cable looks 2mm.
