The HPA, supported by NAPIT and NICEIC, co-creators of the guidance, will explore FAQs in relation to RCD selection with the opportunity to have your questions answered by the experts and will be informative for heating installers and instructive for electrical contractors.
In 2024, nearly 100,000 heat pumps were sold in the UK, marking a 63% increase from 2023. This rapid growth underscores the importance of integrating heat pumps into electrical installations safely and effectively.
The integration of heat pumps in electrical installations is rapidly growing and represents a key underpinning initiative in the UK Government’s commitment to the decarbonisation of heating.
The new guidance, which will be covered in the webinar, focuses on domestic heat pump installations, covering the RCD selection process, explaining the different types of RCDs available, and outlining specific requirements to ensure robust protection for heat pump systems. The user-friendly format includes a 4-step process and frequently asked questions to help installers navigate the various considerations.
This webinar will focus on domestic heat pump installations covering:
- What is an RCD and why RCD protection can be a challenging topic
- The RCD selection process
- Types of RCDs on the market and their properties
- The specific requirements and considerations to safely and robustly protect heat pump installations and their users
The webinar takes place on Wednesday, June 11th June from 1pm to 2pm. Secure your free space today by registering here.
