Hi,
I have just ordered a timeguard timer switch, 16a up to 3.68kw timer.
I have wired it up to the 3 kw immersion element
This runs off a 16a breaker at the fuse box.
There is an isolated on off switch which I have kept then taken a wire to the live, one to the neutral and then earth to the switch input
wired the live and neutral to the switch output. And joined the two earths and wired into the earth in the switch.
All seems to be fine and working.
My question is about volt free switching. The timer has the option of being volt free, (by removing the link I think). Then it would have to wired it differently.
does the immersion element on the boiler need to be volt free. I tried to figure out this but I’m not sure.
thanks I’m advance for any advice, I just want to check I have this correct.
