A follow up from last week Just looking for confirmation this setup shown below is ok ie.... spur off a spur thanks in advance Mark

I was thinking of this plus a bit :) . ( there is very little difference in price of the extra wattage in the heater ) maybe I'll drop the fuse rating down to 3amp and use a 600w heater

not trying to dry washing just trying to replicate as it was when the hot water tank was there . as far as humidity and heat wouldn't that be controlled by the room stat ?? If I set it to say 22 degrees wouldn't that be the temperature give or take a degree ??

did think of one of these, thought they would be on the small side . ( That's only when comparing 1600 x 400 towel rails with each other mind ) is there a guide / rule of thumb that's common knowledge to others I could reference ?? didn't want to buy stuff and it be rubbish and not up to the job...

Do you think 800 watts is to much ?? Is there any / much difference between lower wattage on for longer or higher wattage on for shorter periods ain't they very similar over the longer term :confused:

Good morning both The room thermostat is programmable :) . My thought process was if I go with a manual heating element and not the more expensive version with one built in I could place the room stat at a reasonable height and position within the cupboard , set it at a fixed temperature and...

Hi ALL I'm thinking of adding a towel rail / radiator into an airing cupboard which has recently lost its hot water tank, due to an old semi gravity central heating system being updated with a new combi boiler ( now located elsewhere ). I've tried to show in the picture below what my thoughts /...

thanks all for your replies its much appreciated !!! can anybody point me in the right direction for a suitable rcd ? i cant seem to find the "A type " anywhere ???? they all seem to be AC regards mark

Yes, I'd use an RCD - and you need to take a CPC (earth) from the 240V neutral of the inverter (i.e. BEFORE the RCD - some inverters connect their chassis and output socket earth pin to neutral anyway), to feed to all the 240V accessories and equipment. what size rcd would you suggest be...

nothing from china all uk bought over a period of 10 months or so as for 12v lights i have thought about it did do a little research but the bulbs etc... are expensive compared to the ac route :D already had some energy saving bulbs hanging around so making use of them , i know i...

all items bought on ebay brand new and haven't spent £100 yet !!! thats for everything so got the best components for my money ,and still room to expand with this setup. the solar light sets on sale seem rather expensive for what they are offering so im still happy :D thanks for your help...

to run a mains fridge i need more batteries then ? (more amp hours ) as this system will drain to quickly and the panel will not recharge it quick enough is that correct ? only started this project to put lights in the shed so bought everything a little bigger than i originally intended ...

thanks everybody for your replys the power inverter is a 1500w with a peak of 3000w sorry forgot to update drawing oops ( it has a 40 amp fuse on the back of it ) as for the low voltage concerns is this not all 240v ? ( apart from the battery ) as there is no load on the charge...

Thanks for your reply but u miss understand , the diagram I posted is the current setup . I tried the c plan from honeywell and that didnt seem to work because my zone valve is on the heating side of the system so when water was satisfied the pump was on but the valve was closed Mark
