WARNING: The total 230v load in the
Motorhome should not exceed 16A or in
some case where the site protection is
lower i.e. 6 or 10A otherwise nuisance
tripping may occur or overloading of the
inlet connector.
It is dangerous to attempt modifications
and additions yourself. Never allow
modification of electrical systems and
appliances except by qualified persons.
Lampholder-plugs (bayonet-cap adaptors)
should not in any circumstances be used.
CAUTION: The space heater may be rated
at 2Kw on 230v which will draw around
8A. This should be taken into
consideration if you are on a site where
the site supply protection is 6A or 10A. It
is, therefore, advisable to check the
supply rating before switching on two
loads (items) greater than the supply as
this may cause an overload and the
circuit breaker to trip.
OVERSEAS CONNECTION
Note: Connection to a mains voltage supply
OVERSEAS requires particular attention.
Care must be taken when connecting
supplies abroad since the supplies can be of
REVERSE POLARITY.
The significance of REVERSE POLARITY is
that when equipment is switched off it may
not be electrically isolated leaving a pole
LIVE.
The only certain way of making equipment
safe is to unplug it.
If it can be achieved, it is preferable to
connect live to live, and neutral to neutral to
maintain full electrical protection.
