12kW Electric Boiler.

Helllllooooo,

I have been asked to install new consumer unit for a couple as they are having a company supply and install a new 12kW Heatrae Sadia electric “boiler”. Has anyone any comments about such a beast. Any experiences of these please? Rather than supply it from a new consumer unit by a B50 M.C.B. I have considered supplying it from a dedicated switch fuse with a suitable H.R.C. cartridge fuse.

Thoughts anyone?

The makes are based in Norwich. Well I have only just learned that. I have no connection with Heatrae Sadia.

Not the prettiest of consumer units it is not one I installed and I would not have put the transformer where it is, the last two RCBOs on the peak supply busbar are the immersion heater and electric flow boiler with blanks between them and the adjoining devices as air gaps following both the consumer unit and boiler manufacturers instructions.
There's a spare busbar tucked underneath, which was the original I replaced because it was too short to space the MCBs out.
