Hi
I have 2 questions
1.I would like to remove from our new house a couple of Dimplex panel heaters 1250W which are wired into one of the CUs of the storage heater system (main incoming cable divides and goes to 2 meters 1 for normal elec and CU and 1 to storage heater / immersion / panel heaters CUs ) from here they go to a fused switch and the flex from the switch to the heater.
I would like to remove the whole thing back to the fuse holder.
I know this may seem basic but if I have switched the CUs off at the unit (there is no separate isolator switch between the meter and the CU switch) is it safe for me to remove the cores from the CU for those heaters.
What makes me nervous is that presumably although the switch at the CU is off - the cable from meter to CU switch and where this connects must still be live ?
2.I would like to install above removed panel heaters into the flat we have moved out of and are going to sell. What would be the best way to do this.
Should each one connect to own 15A fuse holder in CU or can they be fed off the ring as spurs with switched FCUs. If so can you guide me on cable size / fuses,etc.
Thanks
