Hi,
My immersion thermostat burnt out - it's the old type Backer 11".
Got a replacement sunvic 2301 - again it's the old type with no reset.

I got a couple of problems with it:
1. The wire (black) going out of the old thermostat to the cutout bar melted.
I'd like to know what kind of wire I should replace this with please?

2. The cutout bar is fairly corroded and I'd like to replace it while
I have it all stripped down. Is it possible to get this component on its own?
If so, what's the proper title for it please?

3. The unit is not labelled so I'm not 100% on the wiring. Is it safe to say that
the live comes in on the right hand side of the unit like the last one?
It says single pole in the manufacturer's spec:

Many thanks,

I would just replace the complete immersion heater as you probably will end up doing so in the end anyway
