Hi
I will soon be fitting a 0.9kw storage heater. it has no user controls so I will be using a d/p fused timer switch (recommended in installation instructions) I will be using 1.5mm heat resistant flex from the dp switch to the heater, but am just wondering if I should use 2.5mm to power the dp switch as it has a 13A fuse. or can I down size this as the storage heater will use around 4Amps.
As im newly qualified and don't have any experience with storage heaters I thought would just check to be sure. I would either use 1.5mm to the dp switch with a 6A RCD if could downsize the fuse. Or if not 2.5mm to the 13A dp fused spur with a 16A RCD.
Look forward to your advice/comments
