    A storage heater on 2 phases.

    Just looked at a job and the storage heater has a peak and off peak supply to it. These are on different phases. There is a label on it to warn of this. Not something I’ve seen before though and feels wrong but probably almost inevitable in commercial buildings with storage heaters. Thoughts.

    Storage heaters

    Hello all, I have a question regarding storage heaters. The new types that also need an off peak supply as well as a 24 hour supply. My first question is why do they need two supply's, and secondly can the storage heaters run only on a 24 hour supply since there is no off peak supply installed.
