Two high-power appliances on a single 40A RCD

Former Community Member
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?

    Which regulation says that you may not connect more loads than the CPD rating? Actually none as you well know from ring and radial final circuits.



    Not relevant. The topic is fixed appliance on a final circuit , not a ring or radial socket circuit.


    Which regulation says you can connect more loads than the CPD rating?   I cannot find one, even on Mumsnet.

     

    Please list the regulation number you are citing immediately for the basis of your advice.



    Should have gone to specsavers


     
    You are giving FALSE advice to a member of the public who has come to the IET for proper information. There is nothing wrong with his idea

     






    The  "idea" seems to be to have Ib>In

    Is that proper information to give ?
