I have a heater which has been unused for a while. it is now tripping the circuit breakers. I have PAT tested it at work and it fails, unless the side panel is removed.
When removed it passes the test and the oil begins to heat up.
With continuous monitoring of the PAT tester i replace the side panel and it again fails the test. Looks like a grounding issue when the two sides are touching.
Should there be a grounding strap between the side panel and the main unit? Why would this now fail having sat for a period?
