Why not run the kiln on one 2.5 and everything else off the other? You
could even hack up a split CU so its running 2 separate circuits.
Because on one 2.5 - assuming I've got the sums right, it loses ~7.5% of
its heating ability, and it is a bit aneamic anyway.
ok, then 2 cables in parallel for the kiln alone would lose 2% heat
output, and since youve only got the kiln on that pair it can be mcb'ed
at 16A. Other TnE for everything else. Now there is no danger if one
cable goes oc or they dont share well.
Another option is a small boost transformer (a few volts 13A) to add
your lost couple of volts back. Fully compliant.
