I believe the power is turned off every night so not that much use.

Well they don't want us to leave those rads on overnight, well that;s what they said orginally now it is well you can leave some on. So some have been left on.

Funny how these things keep changing.

Yes as soon as it's expected, that managment really need to get their act together then things change but only if we complain, otherwise they quitely shift the blame saying no one told us.

When we leave at night, (yes 3 of us are employed in the lab now) it is up to the lab manager, if he says leave them on and in what state then I do, otherwise I turn them off as I have to with all the equipemnt except PCs and monitors.

Before ~1996 I didn't have to go around 2 labs turning things off, I just hit mushroom button contactor and all power to the lab benches goes off, I then set the alarm and I left.
Now I have to go around each bench turning things off from the socket or equipment switch and then I leave.

And if you read my origanls question it had NOTHING to do with heating the lab.

Yeah and "As some might have read we've been supplied with a number of
oil filled radiators" is for your home right?

WRONG.
But it won't be the first time you;re got everything wrong will it.



Given they are overpowered at the 2kW setting and dave not willing to
test them on the 1.3kW setting

there's NO 1.3KW setting.

Just because you don't understand the equipment in front of you, or
the real world, you keep denying the facts.

three's no 1300W setting.


It's a 2kW rad made up of a 700W and a 1300W setting. Now grow up.

No it is NOT I explained this before are yuo really that think.
There is NO 700W setting and NO 1300W setting.

When used in my office it measured about 700W (at 202V) and (1055W at 202V)
So explain where you get your 1300W from.
