I may never need to run it at full power but good to have there

Getting the boiler up to temp you will use it. I certainly would if I had it. I am not sure my wiring can go higher than a 15 amp wall plate, and I only have a single phase which limits what my options are.

Usual caveats apply here but did a test run with my boiler plugged into the standard wall plate.
With the voltage regulator I first ran it at about 50%. After an hour and a half 25 litres was only getting very hot. Cranked it to about 70% and stated to boil vigorously in a few minutes. Fuse did not trip and no wiring got hot.
I need to put an ammeter and voltage meter in my box so i can do my calculations.
Yes this is a big no no but I have two power circuits in the fuse box (like most homes) on 16A circuits. Theoretically i can run at 16A all day and not pop the fuse (providing nothing else is running off the same circuit at the same time)
Mods please delete anything inappropriate here.

I thought the length of the cable would determine that :think:

Why not use elements rated to suit the outlets at your premises ?
