7.6 Heating Plant Emissions Rate (HPER)
1. To enable the house holder to claim the Feed in tariff (FIT) the heating plant emission rate must be calculated and entered into the MCS certification submission and
recorded in the Micro chp system commissioning checklist benchmark sheets at the back of these instructions.
See the Baxi website to calculate the HPER values

7.7 Electrical Connection ­ General
1. The product must be installed by a competent trained electrician that has been on a Baxi approved course.
2. The fuse rating of the securable isolator shall be 13A.
3. A mains supply of 230V ~50Hz is required.
4. Mains wiring external to the product must be in accordance with the current IEE (BS 7671) Requirements for Electrical Installation (Wiring Regulations) and any local
regulations.
5. Connection must be made in a way that allows complete isolation of the electricity supply ­ a double pole switch serving only the product and system controls. The manual
isolation switch shall be capable of being secured in the off (isolation) position; this switch is to be located in an accessible position within the customer's installation.
6. Connection to the mains must be made in accordance with the latest addition of the Engineering Recommendation G83 ­ Recommendations for the connection of Small ­
Scale Embedded Generators (SSEG) in parallel with public low voltage distribution networks.
7. The Distribution Network Operator (DNO) must be provided with information regarding the SSEG Guidance Notes, installation on the day of commissioning. A notification
sheet is provided which should be completed and sent to your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) ­ alternatively this may be done through the DNO's website.
8. Two labels ( Figs. 12 & 12a ) are provided to be placed at:­
a) The consumer unit
b) The appliance
9. The installer shall provide labeling at the supply terminals (fused cut­out). meter position, consumer unit and at all points of isolation within the users premises to indicate
the presence of a micro­CHP unit. An example of the warning label to be left on site is shown ( Fig. 12a ).
10. There are two ways in which the Ecogen 24/1.0 appliance can be electrically installed.
Connection by dedicated circuit ( Fig. 13 )
Connection into an existing final circuit ( Fig. 13a )

7.7 Installer information
11. Whichever of the two options is chosen, it is imperative that the safety of the electrical installation is not impaired by the installation of the Ecogen 24/1.0.
12. To enable the FIT to be claimed the electricity generated and exported must be monitored by meters installed into the electricity supply as shown in Figs. 13 , 13a and 13b ,
for the export either bi­directional meters as in Figs. 13 and 13a , or by leaving the existing meter and adding an additional meter as in Fig. 13b . An extra meter must be
added just before the appliance to measure the electrical generation. The serial number must be submitted for MCS submission and recorded in both the DNO leaflet and
the Micro CHP system commissioning checklist benchmark sheets at the back of these instructions.
13. The Ecogen 24/1.0 must not be connected to an installation by means of a plug and socket.
14. The essential criteria which must be met are given below for both options.
15. Connection of an Ecogen to a dedicated circuit
