Schego Titanium Heater

[Anthony Mckay]

Hello all just after some advice as I'm not quite sure.
I'm putting my 4 x 600w @ 24ov Schego heaters pn my system and wondered if anyone could check my calculations are correct as I want to see if my profilux power bar can actually handle the amperage of these. If not i'll have to use a separate controller for them.

By my working out on full load each 600w heater is 2.5 amps ?
If so I'll be able to use the power bar as its rated upto a maximum of 13 amps combining all sockets ?

Any Help is as always gratefully appreciated,

Thanks
Anthony.

Hello Anthony

Your calculation is correct.

I don't know if I would rely on one outlet to control 4 heaters.

Thanks bpapo.
I do have another plan on using two separate controllers (each with 2 heaters) independent from the profilux.
Or use two sockets for 2 each of the heaters I'll have to work out how many more amps I need for the pumps as I need them definitely switching on the p4.
I might manage it 2 sockets (two heaters each) 5 amps, two pumps independent sockets @ 0.6amp each and the profilux itself.
Or i'll wire the p4 on a completely separate loop so anything goes up the swanny the p4 is still active.

Relay's are more likely to fail especially if they are constantly switching on and off.
