The Cylinder Tri-Core Heater, Pump, Thermostats and Contactor
Box all have electrical supply of 230V (enough to endanger
life).
Always isolate before connection, adjustment, servicing and
repair.
When the Tri-Core Heater cover is removed high power live
electrical terminals are exposed.
ISOLATE THE TRI-CORE HEATER BEFORE REMOVING ITS
COVER.
Earth protection - Earth Continuity Conductors must be fitted
and must comply with IEE Wiring Regulations.

4-2.4 Off-Peak Electrical Supply
To achieve the most efficient performance from the Electrastream it is strongly
recommended to use an ‘Economy 18’
‘Economy 18’
‘Economy 18’
‘Economy 18’
‘Economy 18’ Off-Peak electrical supply. Other Off-Peak options
such as ‘Economy 7’ or ‘Economy 10’ tariffs are also available from most UK electrical
suppliers.
Consult the local electricity suppliers to determine what economy tariff options are
available before installing the Electrastream.
4-2.5 Electric Cables
All cables must be correctly sized to the requirements stated in the wiring diagrams,
failure to do so will invalidate warranty. - see figs. 3-3a and 3-3b.
All cables must be to the latest version of BS6004.
Heat resistant cables MUST be used where specified. GAH recommend all cables have a
minimum temperature rating of 80°C
Cables should be routed to ensure they do not come into contact with hot surfaces or
pipes on the Electrastream system. The use of pipe insulation is recommended where
contact between pipes and cables is possible.
When extending existing cables (flying leads), use suitable rated cables and ensure they
are correctly jointed, sleeved and covered.
4-2.6 Tri-core Heater
The H1, H2 and H3 connections on the Electrastream control unit can be connected to
any of the three heater elements, however each element MUST be wired independently
with a separate 3 core 2.5mm² heat resistant cable.
All three earth cables must be connected to the dedicated earth terminal within the tri-
core heater’s cover.
Twin coil cylinders have two immersion heater tappings. The Electrastream tri-core heater
must always be fitted to the upper tapping.
The cylinder is supplied with the lower immersion heater tapping blanked off. No
immersion heater should be fitted.
