Ring Circuits - Fixed Electric Heating

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Dear All,

I have been asked to review a proposal for an apartment where it is intended to use a ring circuit (4.0mm T&E) to supply 4 No. fixed electric panel heaters in the living room @ 1.5kW each (6kW).

Does this meet the BS7671. Regs/On-site guide refer to ring circuits and 13A sockets.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Parents

  • If a dedicated "ring circuit" rated for a continuous 6kW load, suitably identified and fixed wiring i.e. no pluggable sockets; I see no objection, Suitably rated switches with neons should also be installed at the heaters for isolation.
