In my opinion, this is the correct method. Correct me if I am wrong.

QUOTE(Dwango @ Sep 11 2016, 10:59 AM) Some people can have this phobia of electrocuted by these water heaters as there are cases. Individual RCD should be installed in wet area such as in the bathroom. If too troublesome to install, buy instant water heater with built-in RCD or ELCB safety device. Solar heater is only practical to be installed at landed property, double storey homes or something similar. Not feasible for condominiums or apartments. |

QUOTE(ozak @ Sep 12 2016, 04:18 PM) What we have in home and the fuse box is minimum safety level or pretty basic. We are not rich country. So the design safety is minimum to meet the std here. Otherwise you have to pay high house price. Dear Bros, Have you ask why people still die since the fuse box there. Why the heater have a built in rcd or elcb if the house already have. Don't they want to save some cost? Can't the house rcd to the job? Why people still die since the heater have rcd/elcb. And why the fuse box rcd doesn't kick in if the heater rcd/elcb fail to protect. I have just bought a Panasonic instant water heater DH-3 HT model and I am going to install by this week. Just want to seek some advice whether the following cable is suitable for installation from the 20A Junction Box. The cable length from the junction box to the instant water heater is about 2 feet. The PVC flexible 3 core cable is Keystone BS 2004 70/0.0076. Your input are very much appreciated. Thank You. |

QUOTE(alexander3133 @ Jan 10 2017, 10:07 AM) My condo which less than 2 years old, does not have an individual RCD for water heater point in DB, only one for the whole house. This is a Panasonic instant water heater (with built-in ELCB) which I installed by myself 3 months ago. Planning to install two 10mA RCD and change to a bigger DB. [attachmentid=8382262] So far so good with the water pressure. ![]() This post has been edited by sharethebest: Jan 29 2017, 10:12 PM |

QUOTE(Richard @ Jun 28 2017, 10:01 AM) An ELCB works with voltage difference.. Recommended cables for installation of water heater.An RCD works with residual current difference.. As long as your earth wiring is solid, your wiring insulation is good and your protection devices work properly you are safe.. ![]() |

QUOTE(sharethebest @ Jul 10 2017, 11:36 PM) It is quite difficult to find Flexible 3 core 2.5mm 50/0.25 cable by the metre at electrical shop. Mostly they want to sell in a roll which is about 50 feet. As a result, most DIY ended up using 3 core 70/0.0076 (70/0.193) flexible cable for installation of water heater. In my opinion, the 3 core 2.5mm 50/0.25 is a better choice. |
