Are there any known issues with RCD's and storage heaters?
I've done an inspection on my own house, the storage heaters are on their own board, its a TNCS system. The only problem is that when they were installed the wires were tucked under the joists rather than through a hole in the middle. So I did not think they had adequate mechanical protection.
However as the electicity only comes on in the night its unlikely that someone would be drilling holes then.
How do people do an installation cert. when there is no power? I can't imagine people coming back in the middle of the night!
I was thinking of protecting the board with a 30mA RCD to meet the regs and for extra safety. Are there any likely problems with nuisance tripping?
