I will rewire it myself and then get someone from work to double check for me. I get I'm an apprentice, but gota learn some how. Thanks for your help.well certainely each element needs its own FCU and MCB, so yes get stuck in.
Thanks for your help. Will do this.
I did kinda think someone was taking the p**s outa me. I will rewire it properly.Well in that case it can never have worked for any length of time as it's trying to draw 6kW through a 13a fuse !
Yeah I will do. Will rewire it myself and then get someone to check it out. But I take it from the pic above, that is the correct way?This needs sorting out as a matter of urgency, Shermin with all due respect I'd ask the Sparks that you're training with to have a look with you so you then understand with some confidence what needs doing.
Yeh and don't forget the cert for it afterwards. Is the Landlord ok with this? Should you not be calling them to fix it?

Thanks for your help guys. Was kinda embarrassed to ask for help from the guys from work in case they torn me a new one rather than help.
The CU's are in the same cupboard next to the cylinder. About 3 metres apart.Yes the drawing is good apart from if there are two separate supplies I see no need for the boost controller or 'Control Board' as you'd have two individual supplies to two elements via independent 20a DP switches. If it's a pain to run a 2nd 2.5 from mains position you could fit a Horstmann or similar controller in the airing cupboard, the timed output is designed to coordinate with E7 times and the 'boost' function connects to the top element - all designed so both can't be energised at the same time.
Dude you need 1x on peak supply cable to the timer. Each element then needs to be wired back to the timer seperately. The timer will not let both run at the same time. Do not over complicate it.
Thanks. I will need to see if I can find somewhere nearby that will do something similar.
So if I take a supply from the 24/7 supply board, to a FCU, then to the controller, then take a separate cable to each element all should be good?
