This webinar will provide an overview of the HPA’s latest guidance on RCD selection for heat pumps.

The HPA, supported by NAPIT and NICEIC, co-creators of the guidance, will explore FAQs related to RCD selection, offering the opportunity to have your questions answered by experts. This 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 decarbonising 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 is RCD protection 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
