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.

Having slept on it I would probably decline the job as there’s almost certainly going to be a lot of grief this time next year, I would have to let my concerns about the efficiency and running costs known to the clients.
If they really want it then a separate consumer unit with a 30 mA RCD main switch and a 63 amp circuit protective device is the way to go.
