I agree, I have edited my post to MCB as the CU should be RCD protected in a modern system. I would use an RCBO if it is not though.Theoretically, you Probably need a 16 A spur from the main or sub main board with a blue socket and were I starting from scratch this is what I would do. I have a 16A and 32A outlet in my barn designed in when I installed the whole system. What additional RCD protection you need depends on the existing set up… may be none in my understanding
As someone else said, you might well get away with it on a 13A supply. It will not be running for very long and there’s a huge difference in the heating effects of continuous current draw verses short bursts.
Yep needs a 16A blue socket on its own circuit breaker.
is that a 6mm or an 8with a 13 amp plug you may need one of these fuses

6is that a 6mm or an 8
a 13 amp will happily run at about 19 amp full load continuous its just the starting current that pops themHow variable are 13A fuses in their performance at the "edge"? I guess that there may be some spec for this? Do cheap far eastern fuses behave any different to quality ones?
