The wiring arrangements for this type
of heating are shown Fig. 14.
Ducted warm air systems have centrally sited thermal storage heater with
a high storage capacity. This will allow the radiator changed future time with
the minimum disturbance the installation. 14.4kW at
each point.
Off-peak heating systems may provide central heating from storage radia-
tors, ducted warm air underfloor heating elements.18 for wiring arrangements.15.64.Electrical installations and wiring systems

See the section supplementary equipotential bonding later this chap-
ter and Fig. The final circuits all off-peak heating installations must
be fed from separate supply controlled electricity board time clock. Heating appliances where the
heating element can touched must have switch which disconnects
all conductors. 14. This requirement includes radiators which have element
inside silica-glass sheath. See Fig. Fixed heaters that
are wall mounted inset must connected through fused connection
and incorporate local switch, either the heater itself part the
fuse connecting unit, shown Fig.

Electric space heating circuits
Electrical heating systems can broadly divided into two categories:
unrestricted local heating and off-peak heating. Each radiator must have a
20A means isolation adjacent the heater and the final connection
should via flex outlet. 14.17
Immersion heater wiring. The unit charged during the off-peak period, and
a fan drives the stored heat the form warm air through large air ducts
to outlet grilles the various rooms. All three systems use
the thermal storage principle, whereby large mass heat-retaining mate-
rial heated during the off-peak period and allowed emit the stored heat
throughout the day.19.
When calculating the size cable required supply single-storage
radiator, good practice assume current demand equal 3.

Unrestricted local heating may provided portable electric radiators
which plug into the socket outlets the installation
