    Storage Heater Repair

    I would replace it as it has seen better days electrically. Also, some older heaters did have Asbestos inside.

    Are you replacing type AC RCD's with Type A?

    I think it would depend on the circuit or circuits & what equipment the RCD is protecting. I guess changing it will cover further additions or changes of equipment that would need DC protection.

    This video may be useful or relevant if you prefer to do all tests. The Megger MFT feature, not sure of other testers.

    2.5mm wire into 1.5mm plug

    As James posted. It would seem that upgrading to a 2.5mm cable reduces volt drop, but the 13amp connections at either end may warm up with long periods of welding even if you manage to wire them. What is the max load of the welder?

    Made a big mistake on a job need advice

    Unfortunately, that is why a skilled or a Competent person with Electrical knowledge is required & especially in the workplace a senior member of staff is no substitute to being Skilled. Makes me wonder if you have heard of the Electricity at Work Act & various HSE requirements in the workplace.

    Pct heater to plug ?

    Your first post was a 50 Watt so the 12v 5w may not be hot enough, going by surface area.

    Cooker becomes Oven and Microwave....any ideas?

    Now I have got it, thinking the microwave on a 5A & thinking you were to chance the oven on 13 A. Silly Me !

    Pct heater to plug ?

    It is not possible to earth the casing with only 2 wires. If the element leaks current to the casing & is not protected then it may become live to the touch. Proof that the element is double insulated or purchase another unit may be a 12v with a 230v/12v transformer.

    Cooker becomes Oven and Microwave....any ideas?

    Connect the oven to the dual plate & MK fuse for the microwave socket outlet. Parallel fuses is better, seriously.

    Cooker becomes Oven and Microwave....any ideas?

    Okay, fed from a dual cooker plate, isolated from Cooker Main switch? I take it this will be behind where the free-standing cooker was to be?

    Pct heater to plug ?

    So your thermostat has a 13 A UK socket where you want to plug in your element? How do you earth the element then as it only has 2 wires ? Which I do not think is double insulated, Are there any labels with a square within a square symbol? Is the incubator casing metal at all? Sorry , just seen...

    Cooker becomes Oven and Microwave....any ideas?

    This situation within kitchens I think has never been successfully discussed with a sound solution., leaving the installation of a dual cooker plate & everything connected to it regardless of individual appliance circuit protection.

    Pct heater to plug ?

    Do not put a plug on it.! Post pictures of the element & its intended use. As it is aluminum cased it will need to be Earthed. Also on its own it will be constantly heating without a thermostat

    Fuse missing from main disconnect panel

    It would appear you are only using 2 phases. As the second picture shows no connection at bottom of the centre fuse link.

    Special kind of dual switch?

    I take it you are safely isolating the power? Do you have an electrical Tester? Post a picture of the back view of the switches & wiring.
