Default Combi Electrics

Hi.
How do I connect the combi to the elctric circuit?

Can I branch off a nearby wall socket with a standard 13 Amp switched spur
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MKK1040.html

There are two 3 amp fuses with combi but they would be too small
for the fuse cradle in the spur.

Thanks.

Arthur

From the manual.

$ Spare fuses are supplied with the appliance and are fixed
$ adjacent to the pressure gauge.
$ 11.2 It must be possible to completely isolate the appliance.
$ 11.3 The following connection alternatives must be used:
$ A 3 amp fused three-pin plug and unswitched shuttered socket
$ outlet (both complying with the requirements of BS 1363)or a
$ double pole isolator with a contact separation of 3mm in all
$ poles and supplying the appliance and controls only.
$ 11.4 The appliance must be earthed.
$ 11.5 Mains Cable.0.75mm
$ 2
$ (24 x 0.20mm)to BS 6500 Table 16.
$ The mains cable must be connected into the terminal X1 ,
$ marked L (Brown or Red lead),N (Blue or Black lead)and the
$ earth stud and be held securely in the cable clamp.For access
$ undo the three bottom screws and remove the facia access cover.
$ See Fig.11.The earth lead must be slack when the others are taut.

Looks fine, however, if the socket is RCD protected, it would be better to
connect it to a non RCD protected circuit, so if you go on holiday and the
RCD trips, your pipes don't freeze (assuming it is cold enough of course!)

There are two 3 amp fuses with combi but they would be too small
for the fuse cradle in the spur.


If they are the small glass ones, they are probably replacements for
something inside the boiler.
Just use a normal fuse in the spur
