Hi,
I'm not an electrician!
I'd like to ask anyone's advice who knows about things like the BS7671 regulations as to whether what we have is within the law or not.... I know it's annoying as heck to have power tripping out!
We rent... need I say more?
So, we have a socket circuit and immersion heater on a 16amp MCB (I think that's what they're called). This circuit has 3 computers attached. When we add the fridge freezer, it's fine until the fridge fan comes on, then it trips out. I'd just like to know if it's legal or not to have the immersion heater on the same circuit as a bunch of sockets? If it is, is there any chance of a quote from the standards to send to my agent? Or is this because we shouldn't have the fridge on the circuit? (which we don't now, it's on another one!)
I would be very grateful for any help you could offer.
Maz
