    suspected faulty 6.6kva transformer

    Am I correct in assuming that the casing of the transformer is connected to the star point and hence providing the main earth to the MET.

    Rointe Heaters

    I can recomend them. The remote is very good although I'd like it to be backlit. If you become a registered installer you get additional discount. When you have shopped around I'd like to know what the best discount you have been offered is.
