Hi there, I work as an Oven cleaner and I have a heated tank (which heats up to 80 degrees F) installed in my van. I'm having problems with the fuses for the tank burning out after 2-3 weeks.
To heat the tank I plug a 13amp extension lead (unravelled) into the mains. Then an RCD socket is plugged into the extension socket, and finally the tank is plugged into the RCD. Unless the 13amp fuses on the extension lead, RCD plug and tank plug are changed every 2 weeks then they burn out and I have to rewire the plugs!
When the tank is switched on I normally leave it on for 1-2 hours to heat the tank sufficiently.
What can I do to prevent these fuses from burning out? Use a transformer?
Your help is MUCH appreciated
Thanks, Jack-SOC
