So how much power does an oil filled radiator actually use.
As some might have read we've been supplied with a number of oil filled radaitors http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/pel0...ack/dp/HG00575 So I unpacked them and installed them, one by one. In an attempted to trip our 32 amp circuit braker I would have thought that 5 would have done it, but they didn't. On switch on they started at about 1.6KW (using an old maplin power meter) I left them fully on, that's the highest setting . The lab voltage dropped from the 220V to about 202V so that accounts for it I guess. But what realy suprised me was the power consumption of a radiator when it was full on, anyone care to guess what it was. Voltage 202 |
