hi All
am not an electrician and need some help/advice on my underfloor heating.
i had a new bath room put in a few months ago and added underfloor heating. this was a warmup 3iE. all seems to be working fine and i have not had any issues so far.
now i was checking a video on Warmup's website and it states in the video that an RCD should be used for underfloor heating.
i know my main circuit breaker for the whole house (under the stairs) has RCD.
now my question is this-- should the underfloor heating have had its own RCD even though the main power switch for the house has RCD?
i can see there is a fuse box on the wall , just on top of the warmup control panel, which can switch the underfloor heating off, but i dont think its RCD. just a fused box that states 'fused'
is this safe or should i get a separate RCD fitted for the underfloor heating, even though the main circuit breaker for the house has RCD?
many thanks
