So for now I have wired it straight to the CU breaker via a switch fused unit. So as of now we don't have automation of the immersion but there appears to be nothing preventing me using my contactor approach. The rules are clear that you can put stuff in between those fixed points provided it meets the wiring regs etc which is how the diverters do it. So I won't have any high current stuff on / around the tank other than the connection from Switch Fused Isolator to the immersion heater. Final job is to commission the heat meter & EmonPi. Hopefully Sunday, then I will have some real data to play around with and get an impression for how good or bad the system is. You’re not supposed to use a 13a FCU for a constant 3kw device such as an immersion. You’re supposed to have a 16a breaker and a 20a DP switch as an isolator.

After 20 years of trouble free service a cistern in one of our bathrooms just cracked without provocation, not been used since Christmas, drowned the router in the stairwell below, left us with no Internet and water everywhere. Sadly its a Fired Earth unit so no guarantee possible- still as I say it has done 20 years. 1
Nickfromwales Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago That’s a piss-you-off!! CT1 will get that watertight temporary, if you need to keep using it. Just need to dry it out with a hairdryer and clean it before applying.
