Storage Heaters and diversity

[adam.h]

With storage heaters do you apply diversity on the circuit?

I need to replace a few which will consume a lot more than the old ones, now adding up to be 7.95 KW in total (34A). So would they be able to stay on the existing 32A ring or a new circuit added?

Cheers

Personally I’d use two 20A radials. If there’s a fault you don’t loose all the heating.

As it's on an old install I was going to have each on a switched RCD, installing two rads would then either require new CU or split incoming and have a small 2 way CU as well which would then cost them more monies.
