Din rail timer

[Victor]

Can anyone recommend a din rail timer that is capable of turning on and off 4 or 5 electric heaters, total wattage 9.5kw or an alternative solution.

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest using a contactor & timeclock arrangement to switch the heaters.

Don't think such is available ,most switch max of 3 kW, but standard din timer plus din contactor (only one module space each) is what does mine.
ORBIS timer + HAGAR contactor.

What would be the best contactor to use?

Thanks in advance for any replies

Merry Christmas to one and all

perhaps use 2 x 3 pole contactors, one pole per heater. then you could use a 16A/pole contactor

depending on how much room you have in the cu u could use a din rail timer and contactor inside the consumer unit, i see your location is france... i know in france they tend to keep all timers and contactors inside the cu as they are genrally about 3 times the size of ours in the uk.

I have 9 modules to play with withing the cu but the timer will take up 3.

yea i think contactors will prob need to mounted in a enclosure outside consumer unit then, thats a shame its nice to keep all neat in one unit

you can buy timers that will take up one way in a CU, used to use them for lighting and pumps in an old job. use the timer to switch coil for a contactor, and off you go!
