There are a number of proprietary support systems for this using big feet that spread the load over the roof membrane and lift the trunking off the roof to allow free flow of water underneath. I would suggest putting a 300 x 300 conc. slab under the feet if resting...

The power board, which looks as if it has enough computing power to run a space shuttle, just did not seem to...

Thanks Andy. Still don't understand how it can happen. Could turning it off cause a surge that just breaches the insulation and causes a current leakage to earth perhaps? Could there be capacitance between the element and its metal casing causing that? Anyway, I will buy an element.
