Default So how much power does an oil filled radiator actually use.

There will always be 'potential' issues about everything.


No there won't.


So why were these heaters always a potential issue ?


Because *you* noticed a functional anomaly from the get go.

But as there wasn't a fault


How do you know?


No one has found one.


So that means one can't exist it your mind does it (to say 'there
wasn't a fault')?

Or saving a few lives ... only time will tell now eh.


And if your version of tech support is anything to go by.


And if your (first) version of tech support is anything to go by?


I was happy with the PAT tester who tests the equipment for electric safety.

And I never had any thoughts regarding their electrical safety.

So why contact tech support if there wasn't a problem ?


To make sure there wasn't.


and yuor tech suppoort said return then


LIAR!

where as my productinfo said they are designe dto switch down to 700W.


Yes, so they say.

Pity tech support didn't know the product itself.


Quite.



What happened to this 'potentail' issue you were refering to.


It's still there mate.


Still where ?


Where it always was.

Those that make the product have said it was designed that way.


Oh, you have spoken to the manufacturers as well now have you?

SO the potential issue is no longer a potential issue.


Yup, still is, as even a technical numbskull like you should be able
to see. Put the radiator on 700W and the stat on full and chuck a big
coat over it and see what happens. If you are confident there are no
safety issues, leave it like that overnight.

It says on the label 2000W at 220V and 2000W at 240V,


No it doesn't.


yes it does.
220-240V- 50Hz 2000W


Exactly ... that NOT what you *lied* about above eh. You keep lying as
an attempt to move the goalpost.

Unless of course you tell me what the label actualy means.


'Unless?' You know what everything means apparently. That doesn't
explain why you had to ask about it all (inc about the MCB that was an
RCBO and how many heaters you would need to heat that space etc).

snip

Why would *I* expect that when I was the one (along with several
others) explaining it to you (over and over)?


You still got it wroing though didn't you.


Nope.



and this is why I was asking the original Q .


No you weren't because if you were you would have had the thermal
calculations for the space.


Why would I have the thermal calculations for the space ?


You wouldn't, but to answer the question you asked about it you would
have to attain them and you were given the means (that you still
didn't do nor understand).


2/ I wanted it in writing so I could forward that on to whoever would need to send the heaters back and give the account details for remburment or a credit note or whatever.


You didn't want it at all until I recommended you ask them.


I didn't think there was anything faulty with the 5 heaters.


I know, you keep saying for some reason.

and I have been proved right, by those that actually know the product.


Bwhahaha. Course you were and they do.

I will take their (those that know the product) word for it over some idiot like you.


Aww bless.

Like I said, if you are so confident the rad is 'safe' that way, do
the coat / blanket experiment (or see how long it runs before it shuts
off permanently for reasons you will never accept).

And I'm still waiting for the results of the 1300W element only test?
Oh yes, you asked what 'cycling' meant didn't you because that was
something else you didn't know ...
