For the purpose of this Table as instantaneous water-heater is deemed to be water-heater of any loading which
heats water only while the tap is turned on and therefore uses electricity intermittently.
It is important to ensure that the distribution boards are of sufficient rating to take the total load connected to
them without the application of any diversity.
