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?
Kitchen fitter does not have a clue! I wonder which regulation that is? Answers on a postcard to the Screwfix forum.
That'll be regulation A.26 "A final sub-circuit having a rating exceeding 15 amperes shall not supply more than one point...." - although you have go back to the 14th Ed for that - so not quite a current requirement!
