Wall mounted fan heater

[wiggins]

Is 2.5mm 4 core SWA cable heavy enough to run the following item?

Dimplex CHF-90
9kw 3ph+N 415v
15 meter cable run on cable tray
Fuses fitted are 15Amp.

This is installed in a garage unit I have purchased and wondered if its Fit to use?(not tried running it yet).

Any advice appreciate.

Cheers

no idea if it's heavy enough. never weighed 2.5mm SWA

seriously. show us your cable calculations based on the info. in BS7671, and we can tell you if you're right.

I don't think he'll have the first idea how to calculate this SWA, the thread should be in the DIY section...

if he's not got a clue then he should not be doing it. period.

Doing what Tel? He just asked if it's safe to use, didn't say he was installing it.

Might be a good idea if he posts this in the trainee forum

Is it me but I'm seriously puzzled by the requirement and outline list of parts!

Sounds to me like he's got a 3 phase fan heater already installed in his garage, and is asking if 2.5mm swa and 15amp fuses are ok.

ahh. that makes sense. if that's the case, then 9kW over 3 phases, 2.5mm cable, 15A fuses ( or 16A MCBs), looks on the ball to me.

Hello gents

Thanks for the replies, apologies for any confusion with the info supplied I didn't mean to upset anyone, I'm not an electrician hence the reason for me posting on a forum like this was just to find out if this unit was installed correctly from proffesionals. It's the weekend and as you all probably know being skilled trades men electricians are hard to come across at this time.

But thanks to Andyelectric and telectrix for the reassurance and peace of mind, I'm away down to the unit to try it out.

Thanks and Regards
Wiggins

Moved to DIY forum.

I'd also say the cable size and fuse sizes are fine.
