Q about Fitting 3KW Heater to a 15A radial on Wylex CU

The repair guy who came out to the aforementioned dishwasher told me he had seen several qualified electricians get the blue/black change wrong. I guess all we need to do now is rename the Blue Phase to Black and then we're sorted :)

Is not the blue phase now L3 grey

Brown is L1 previously red
Black is L2 previously yellow
Grey is L3 previously blue

Exception being cable with 1 brown and 2 blacks etc

3kw heater on a 230V supply draws 13A on its own. leaving you 2A for the other sockets. not a great deal is it. coupled with the fusing factor of re-wireable fuses i would have an item like this installed on its own A3 radial circuit by a qualified registered electrician.
