Electrical Connections

Before installing the eCable you should make allowance for the electrical connections (see diagram below).

The ecable system requires a mains voltage 230/240V and must be connected in accordance with the current IEE regulations and building regulations part 'P' approved document.

For areas up to 14m² @ 200watts per m² power connection can be provided through a 13A switched spur outlet/combined RCD spur outlet. For larger areas a dedicated circuit should be installed from the local consumer unit.

Confirm your thermostat is suitable to switch the appropriate electrical load e.g. 16A thermostat 230V is suitable to switch up to 16m²@ 200w per m².

eCable Electrical Requirements

If you are required to switch greater electrical load than 16A a suitably sized thermostat or electrical contactor MUST BE INSTALLED. If in doubt please call our helpline on 01299 266 536.

We recommend that all ecable systems are protected by a 30ma RCD earth trip either at the consumer unit or by a combined RCD spur outlet.

When installing in a bathroom or other wet areas the thermostat must be located in Zone 3 (0.6m from any wet appliance e.g. shower, sink etc) or outside of the wet area ideally on the opposite face of the wall. The eCable must be earth bonded in accordance with the current IEE regulations.

Important. When designing your electrical installation you should always consult an electrician concerning your requirements.
