Two high-power appliances on a single 40A RCD
Former Community Member
I have an electric shower installed on a 40A RCD, in a room adjacent to my kitchen. The shower is only used in an emergency - i.e. when our gas boiler is unable to provide hot water to our main bathroom. I would like to take a spur from this 40A connection to use for a new double oven, which is rated at 32A. Can anyone advise on a safe and legal way to do this, ensuring that only one of the two appliances can be connected at any one time?
Hmmm....yes I can see what you're saying. I guess it's the distinction between "sensible" and "legal" that should have been made clear to me. I have no problem with a tradesperson telling me that something is not advisable, or something that they are not comfortable with. I do have a problem if they have incorrectly advised me that it is "illegal".
