Default Wiring immersion boost switches... Gotcha!


I have two immersions, & what I didn't find out til I went to fit
the boost timers is that one of the exstg two immersion
switches, A, also feeds the spur? to switch B of the other
immersion....

Net result is so far I can't fit both "feed" cables into the
terminals on the rear of the boost timer that I want to
replace
switch A..

Any workarounds please?

I'll check the ratings of the immersion heaters tomorrow but I
believe they are 3kw. The cables are thick multi stranded & I
can't fit two in the terminals of the new boost switch at A.


I suppose the radial cable from the CU (supplying both immersions)
should be ?4mm? It's protected by a 32amp rcbo...

But the feed from switch A to switch B needn't be in 4mm too if
immersion B is 3kw? I'm thinking that could be 2.5mm2? which
might be more doable...

TIA
