    Immersion element faulty

    Customer complained of hot water running out quickly. Water cylinder has 2 elements in it, tested the top one, between live and neutral on low ohms. Got 19.2 ohms, tested the bottom one and got greater than 999, I’m assuming this is a faulty element

    Diversity Calc Commercial Dishwasher 6.5kW single element

    It is a 6.5kW thermostatically controlled water heater if you ignore the rest of the gubbins. So that would be a Purpose #6 for diversity ie: None allowed. = 28A. But you could treat if like a cooker too. Purpose #3 ie: 10A + 30% FL current over the 10A. = 15.4A What do you think? Thanks
