Electrical Requirements
Before installing the eRibbon you should make allowance for the electrical
connections (see diagram below).
The eRibbon system requires a mains voltage 230/240V and must be connected in
accordance with the current IEE regulations and building regulations part ‘P’ approved
document.
For areas up to 22m² the eRibbon power connection can be provided through a 13A
switched spur outlet/combined RCD spur outlet. For larger areas a dedicated circuit
should be installed from the local consumer unit.
Confirm your thermostat is suitable to switch the appropriate electrical
load e.g. 15A thermostat 230V is suitable to switch up to 22m² of eRibbon.
If you are required to switch greater electrical load than 15A a suitably sized
thermostat or electrical contactor MUST BE INSTALLED. If in doubt please
call our helpline on 08714 74 08 18.
It is a requirement that all eRibbon systems are protected by a 30ma RCD earth trip
either at the consumer unit or by a combined RCD spur outlet.
When installing in a bathroom or other wet areas the thermostat must be
located outside Zone 2 (0.6m from any wet appliance e.g. shower, sink etc)
or outside of the wet area ideally on the opposite face of the wall.
Important. When designing your electrical installation you should always
consult an electrician concerning your requirements.
