Help with installation / diagram

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi,


I am after some help with a heated windows installation / diagram - grateful for any input.

Unfortunately, the company supplying the installion went bust and I have been left with a system that doesn't  work (incorrectly designed).

We had a local electrician do the first fix wiring based on the diagrams but he says what has been sent won't work in it's current state and he doesn't have the relevant expertise to adjust it.

We live in a rural area and electricians are not that common especially for something as complex as this.

Rather than post up the diagrams and go into too much detail initially, I just wanted to know if this is a place to ask for advice and if not could anyone point me in the right direction. e.g contact details for an electrical engineer.


Thanks.

    Line consumer tail to SP switch. Why?



    It does seem odd to use just one pole of a DP switch - but the sticker on the bottom does seem to suggest that the arrangement is official. I've seen pictures of E7 systems where one pole of the switch is used for the 24h supply and the other for the off-peak supply - so perhaps this is a continuation of the same logic.


    Otherwise it seems a fairly normal, if messy, setup. The old Wylex RCD seems to supply something else (via T&E) and then tails to (presumably) the main CU. Not sure if the 'something else' has any overcurrent protection though...
