Hi

Had an interesting question that has me thinking, trying to decide which way is correct.

On a hostel type environment they have installed a central hot water system with a +/- 500L tank with 3 phase elements in it.
The consultants are calling it a boiler and saying that it does not need to be on earth leakage unit.
If they call it a Boiler it may not need an earth leakage at 30mA but it will need a Adit relay.

The question I am asking is , when does a Geyser become a Boiler according to SANS 10142-1
Anybody come across the dilemma ?
