RCD protection for existing heater circuits

aligarjon

Hi 

Customer wants existing storage heater circuits moved over to on-peak. He is having some fancy eco heaters that i am not fitting installed by another party and they, as far he knows, only require an on-peak supply.  The existing fuse box does not have rcd protection. If i change it over will it need RCD protection.( i don't think it does as i am not changing any circuit wiring) i appreciate it would be a C3 on a report as it is because of cable depths.  The cables obviously are already in place with 20amp switches on.

Thanks

Gary

    Would this be the sort of eco heaters that use the same amount of electricy as normal heaters, produce the same amount of heat, but cost ten times as much and come from Germany?

    I don't know. I have nothing to do with that side of it. Slight smile

    That sounds about right. The general uneducated are conned left, right, and centre by extravagant outrageuos product claims. Many of my customers are removing off peak cheap rate storage heaters because they say that they are expensive to run. They are installing on peak heaters of the type described here.

    I was going to suggest poor teaching, but I think that it just reflects low interest in "STEM" subjects. OK, I was never a good musician (but enjoyed singing) and cannot draw for toffee; so each to his own, but at least I learned the basic laws of physics.
