Wrapped around it are four heater elements top on one phase, bottom on another phase and two middle ones on the 3rd phase. One of these has broken whilst they were changing a thermocouple. These elements have...

    Changing Towel Rail elements - is this reasonable?

    I rent out a flat some distance away from where I live, and new tenants told me that neither of the 2 bathrooms' towel rails were heating. They are controlled by a Patterson Heating EC.512 Mains signaling control. Given that both were not working, I suspected that the channel settings for these...

    Measuring resistance of dimplex elements?

    Is it possible to measure the resistance of the elements inside a dimplex storage heater without removing the bricks, by measuring the resistance at each connector block that the elements connect into? And what readings would be expected?

However, it never trips whilst I'm there, even after pouring water on the hob. I've carried out 500v insulation resistance tests, and...

    higher voltage needed

    Just received a new lab oven that calls for 415V 60HZ 3 phase @ 45KW, the problem is that we only have 120/208Y available to us ( plenty of unused service). Question: Do I source a transformer or look into converting oven to run on 80A 208y?
