Benzsupra Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hi all a quick off topic question to any electricians/plumbers on here. I bought a "Dafi 9kw" water heater from e-bay but it has come with no wiring diagram, as usual contacting the seller is near on impossible because i bought it in november but have only just come to put it in he's not interested. Normally things like this wouldn't phase me, i have just put an electric shower in no problem but this is different. It has 2 live wires and an earth wire! I have never seen this before and i don't know what to do with it. The only diagram on the thing indicates L1, L2 & Earth. I did try doing a cowboy job and just whacked it all into a plug and just turning it on but it didn't do anything at all. I'm just lost now and wondering if anyone on here had encountered it before and maybey tell me what i need to do. Thanks guys. BTW it says 9kw - 400v on top of it! now i know we only run at 240v could i need to boost the power or something? i would still need to know how it's wired though!

Kranz Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 400v = three phase ????? Not domestic mains but industrial!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzsupra Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 It did specify it was for home use but then again this is e-bay at it's best so who knows! i thought that maybe it needed two live feeds of 240v to make enough power? don't really know the technical side of electrics so i don't know if i sound like a complete div saying that! lol if it is 3 phase then would it just be junk?
