Hi,
My central heating wiring centre (Honeywell S Plan) is hanging off a 13a plug in the garage which is plugged into a double gang socket with integrated RCD at waist height close to where I would to fit a sink.
I'd like to move the wiring centre much higher up the wall so it is out of the way and free up the socket, perhaps having it wired into a 20A Fused DP Switch. But, while I am at it I was planning on having two new 3kw immersion heaters wired up as well. I have a spare 32A MCB in the CU about 4 metres way. I would like the immersion heaters to be switched on/off from another control system which can supply a 240V ac signal (obviously not suitable to drive the heaters though).
I would end up with quite a few fused switches and I'd need to house some relays.
Would a DIN enclosure with 3 x 20A RCBO's for the two heaters and wiring centre, and 2 x DIN mounted DPDT 20A relays to switch them on and off be suitable.
My late father was an electrician and i'm lucky to know a very good one, but I'm loathed to drag him over to discuss this if its not a good idea. I guess I don't see a lot of DIN boxes in domestic settings or know whether we could use a DIN mounted 20A RCBO in place of a 20A fused switch - or maybe there is a more applicable DIN mounted module which could be used
