Any tips and tricks on the ecotechnics

You what lad? Ha the light thing was an example.

The physics don't change if it's a fan or a light or a heater but a 2kw heater is going to be 8.3 amp in that case.

P.s. Re the RCD, any half new breaker board would already have one fitted.

You what laaaaaad you had me confussed mate with light an controller.
Yea your right kida there will be one on the board i no there is on mine.
But light an heater wudnt be on at same time.. i have mine for lights off only an only on 1000w settin so that be 4amps add up ya fans etc ya not even gona be pullin 5amps durin lights off

oh yea i replaced the cable on the heater as i wanted it longer so i cud run the cable out of tent to me controller. so rather then try unwire the cable from the back of heater i bought a cable connector so the new wire could be joined to existing cable on the heater

also yeaa i would use the connector for the heater rather than wire it direct in to controller, have look at that pic on diary. if you want i can take pic of the heater later.

Hey joker I'm halfway through rigging up the controller now,if it's not too much trouble and you get a chance could you show me how you've rigged the heater up please? Just so I've got a better idea.many thanks for your help mate

Ohms law to decide on amps . Watts divided by voltage 1000w /240v = 4.166

3 core cable for all them.

the mains plug lead i used 1.5mm 3 core cable
the intake and outtake i used 0.75mm 3 core cable
and heater depending what heat you got with i used 1mm 3 core cable ( heater i have for mine was 12quid b and q one, has 1000w and 2000w setting, i leave it on 1000w i only use this for winter, its unplugged at min with warmer night temps )

the cable sizes are little over kill if am honest but i prefer it that way fans dont even draw half an amp so you could use much smaller cable

I wouldn't call that cable over kill, personally I'd run 2.5mm 3core for the mains and heater, that heater will pull loads of power. Don't get me wrong, 1.5mm is adequate, but you know me mate, If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna over do it. 😂😂

Joker will I have to connect the earth wire for my intake fan? It's only 4inch and says it doesn't need it just wanted your expert opinion bro
