Electric shocks or electrocution caused by water heaters,seem to make the news a lot of late. •
Do you know that the ELCB inside a water heater does NOT FULLY protect the user?
I thought it did! Boy was I wrong...
•
And do you know that the installation of a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with a current leakage sensitivity of 10mA for a water heater is a STATUTORY REQUIREMENT under the Electricity Regulation?
Found all this out when doing some research on home safety recently.
•
