Hi , looking for some advice or if my question is correct please from you pros.
so my worcestor combo boiler (for few years) is fed of a 0.5mm flex from a spur, which is around 4 metres from my boiler, and has a 5amp fuse in the pull out of the spur.
ive researched and it should have a 3amp in it ideally, so my question is do cables pull more than the maximum load the experts say? Or is it because I’m guessing the tolerance of the 3amp fuse and the 5amp fuse is minimal? I know it would be silly to have a 13amp fuse put in the spur, but it seems all well and good and never any issues with the 5amp.
I know now minimal flex is 0.75mm, I researched this.
should I change to a 0.75mm flex?
thanks guys
