Installation of WarmUp Loose Wire System - How To Fuse?

[BobG]

Hello folks, I have just finished installing a WarmUp DWS600 loose wire system in my bathroom.

A little more on it here, but essentially it's rated at 0.6kW / 2.6 amps.

How should it be fused? Would a switched fused spur with a 3 amp fuse be ok for this / any reason why I should not?

Yep, 3A is fine, but must protected by a 30mA rcd/RCBO if it's in a bathroom ( use an rcd fused spur if the circuit is not already rcd protected).

Thanks Tel. I was referring to the heat mat being inside the bathroom; should have been clear that ideally fcu and stat are located outside.

Morning folks thanks for the replies. I will check on the fuse board at home if that particular circuit is protected by a 30mA RCD and report back. Fingers crossed it is!
