What i want is a cord going into my box and a cord going out. 2m length going in and 2m going out from box to plug/boiler. that way im not stuck with space as my boiler sits on the bench and floor depending on how many sections i have on. ill use the same wiring inside the controller too. I think ill get 5m of Olex 2.5mm Orange 2 Core Electrical Cable this way it wil run 2400W elements too. im using the T500 now but i will get more power in the future so ill make it fit 2.4kW if that makes sense :think:Cheers WTD
2.5mm will give you a bit more margin to play with for sure. How come a 2 core though? You want a phase neutral and an earth as well.
If you are going to do that you should upgrade the powerpoint outlet to a 15 amp one ( heavy duty looks the same but has a stronger longer earth pin) drops straight on to the existing powerpoint and get a 15 amp male and female socket to run in and out of your controller . :teasing-blah:
I thought 2 core and earth was enough? a load wire, neutral wire and a earth wire? or is this wrong?
whats a phase neutral and earth?
cheers
