1mm cable to fused connection unit with 3A fuse.


Or a direct connection to a lighting circuit. If handy.


That might be the easiest to arrange. The other one I have just connects
to the fuse box very likely to one of the lighting circuit fuses. But it
was installed sometime ago so I was wondering if any new standards have
been introduced in the meantime.


I've not seen a new one, but my 30 year old one has an internal fuse
anyway. So all the MCB or whatever has to protect is the wiring to it.
