For the installation of sauna heaters, please pay
attention to the DIN VDE 0100 part 703 or similar
locally applicable national safety regulations !
The DIN standard makes the following statement
valid in your newest expenditure, since February
2006, paragraph 703.412.05; Quotation:
The additional must be planned for all electric cir-
cuits of the Sauna by one or more fault current pro-
tection device (RCDs) with a calculation difference
stream not more largely than 30 mA, excluded of it
is Sauna heating.
The EN 60335-1 DIN (VDE 0700 part 1):2012-10
states the following in paragraph 13.2; quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the following
values during operation:
- for stationary heaters of protection class I 0,75 mA;
or 0,75 mA each kW input of the appliance, depend-
ing on the higher value, at a maximum value of 5
mA.
If the appliance is equipped with a protective device
for leakage current (ELCB), please pay attention to
the fact that no other electrical units will be protect-
ed by this ELCB.
Under current manufacturing technology, it is
not reasonable to use heating elements for sauna
heaters which do not collect moisture from the sur-
rounding air. It is therefore possible that a little bit
of moisture from the surrounding air may reach the
magnesium-oxide filling in the heating elements
during transport or storage and may cause the ELCB
to release.
In this case the oven must be heated up under super-
vision of an expert, during which the PE conductor is
not connected. After about 10 minutes, when mois-
ture has evaporated from the heating elements, the
oven must be reconnected to the PE conductor!
If the sauna heater is not in use for a significant peri-
od of time, we recommend running it every 6 weeks,
so as to avoid moisture concentrating in the heating
elements.
Therefore, should the ELCB be released during start-
up, the electrical installation must be checked.
Installation of the sauna heater and control unit
must be undertaken only by an authorized electri-
cian. Without a documented proof of such installa-
tion a warranty is generally void.
