Electrical thermostat wiring question.... Plinth heater...

So but Radom I know but I know scene will know.

I saw a guy put a plinth heater in his campervan and wire up a thermostat like a house of to control it.

So ...

The plinth heater has just a standard 13 amp plug

Can I wire a digital heating thermostat to this????

Thanks in advance....





Thanks

You'd have to check the current capability of the timer. I've got one running a 150w heater in a towel rail, and I had to run it through a relay. With a 1kw+ plinth heater, I'd say you definitelynred one.
