3.11 To obtain full advantage of the power provided by the handwash, use the
shortest cable route possible from the consumer unit to the handwash.
3.12 If your consumer unit has a rating below 80A or, if there is no spare fuse way,
then the installation will not be straightforward and may require a new
consumer unit. A qualified electrician should install the new consumer unit. It
may be necessary to contact your electrical supplier to upgrade your supply.
CAUTION
3.13 To enhance electrical safety a 30mA residual current device (RCD) should be
installed in all electric handwash circuits. This may be part of the consumer
unit or a separate unit.
DO NOT
use a rewireable fuse, instead use a suitably
rated miniature circuit breaker (MCB) or cartridge fuse. The handwash must be
connected to its own independent electrical circuit.
