Been meaning to ask this here for a while: why would storage heaters be con= nected via a 13A FCU?
All round the house. Each storage heater is on it's own 2.5mm2 radial back= to 15A fuses in the Economy 7 CU but the radial connects to the heater fle= x via a 13 switched FCU. While some of the heaters are 2.5kW, and so shoul= d technically be ok in a 13A FCU, others are 3.4kW! It works but I'm not s= ure why those fuses don't blow.
Am I missing something? Is there any reason (even something back-in-the-da= y) why these heaters are on FCUs rather than 20A switches? If it makes a d= ifference, the house and its electrics are from the 50s.
