Night Storage - E10 Tariff

Oct 29, 2009 8 Replies

I am trying to make sense of an installation at my daughter's house.



The meter is Heatwise. Looking at the wires it appears that the meter also switches the circuits on at the appropriate time.

sure about:


  1. The Boost Button. (is this a manual additional boost to the circuit at normal rate)


  1. The separate fuse.



Any experience of this arrangement. House has 3 storage heaters and an immersion heater (separate timer fitted)

Sorry - try again - or:

Probably.

The low-current feed from the meter to the contactor coil.

Not sure if the fuse has an outgoing cable. Do you think the heater circuit is directly wired to the meter?

This would be the normal installation for a fairly new circuit.

Almost certainly

do you mean then thing with red screw seals that has an input and no output?

Yep (apart from this extra fuse) This is a normal installation method for SRs

I assumed the outgoing cable was out of shot. I think the meter contacts would be fairly limited capacity.

I need to find the relay then - but why 2 pairs in the Henley Box

Does the "Boost" Button on the meter turn one of the sessions off? (eg 5)? Or is it a fixed time "on" period?

The meter shows "Status BCD"

Does the boost influence this display? What does it mean?
