Storage Heaters - RCD Required?

[andyb]

if you talking about off peak you can over ride the radio teleswitch or even wire a temporary supply from mains board which is usually next to board for oph.

thats how id do it, unless you want to stay on job till 1am to do your testing.

Indeed but some tariffs have a midday boost.

If it has, you could always arrange the time for testing then.

Or in 5 minuets you could do an insulation test on each circuit.

Not on the heater though.

This would only test the circuit up to the point of connection to the heater.

Switch the heater on, test with 250 volts.
We're only trying to find an earth fault.
