Incorrectly made electrical connections can result in
-
vicing the product, please ensure the wiring is adequate
to minimise risk of overheating. Please ensure you have:
1. Remove the dust from power supply connections.
2. Used the correct type and cross-sectional area ca-
ble to meet manufacturer and Wiring Regulation
requirements.
3. When stripping the insulation from the individual
conductors, taken care to not damage the strands
of the conductor wire, which would reduce the
cross-sectional area of the conductor.
4. Ensured the conductors are tightly and securely
connected to the controls or immersion heater
5. Ensured the bared conductors are correctly insert-
ed into the terminals, to avoid bearing on the insu-
lation sleeving or only partially clamping the con-
ductors.
6. Securely anchored the supply cable using the
means provided to avoid exerting any external
strain to the cable and hence to the terminals.
7. Checked to ensure the product is earthed correctly;
the Live and Neutral connections are to the correct
terminals, and the Residual Current Device (RCD)
operates correctly.
8. Regularly checked the electrical connections as
part of the maintenance schedule, to ensure the
wires remain in good condition and terminations
remain secure. Ensure any spare parts used dur-
ing maintenance of the product are an authorised
spare part and meet the manufacturers’ require-
