13A fuses for 16A immersions?


Are they actually 16 amp? Common ones are 3kW so 13 amp fusing is fine.
But are normally fed with a 16 amp radial circuit from the CU as that's
the closest MCB - and the circuit will be protected ok by that.

45A DP switches - wouldn’t 20A DP do and be a bit cheaper?


Indeed. Perhaps they had a job lot. ;-)
