Sink/Bath Dual Element

hello all , just looking for bit of confirmation

I think when you push the switch to 'Sink' it just powers the small element yes?

And then when you click the switch to 'Bath' position it just heats the Longer element?

Its not the case that when you choose 'BATH' on the switch that it operates BOTH elements - just either one or the other? yes?

The MCB breaker is 20A

thanks.

Correct, only one element at a time.

Above shows the wiring but includes two neutral freeds where you will typically only have one in the immersion element.

Bruthal's schematic describes it best.

Where would a timer normally sit on that circuit, before the switch like this?

I imagine so.

Yeah, probably right as the isolating swtch would otherwise stop the clock, and that would be annoying.
