I'm looking for heating timer to control electric panel heaters (central heating) in an elderly relatives flat. her old one has failed (after 30 years)

There are 5 panel heaters each on a 5a fused spur so assuming 1kw per heater. It was supplied via a 30A rewireable fuse and old style frankenstein switch, lol.
The timer unit was a sagem s610, which is now obselete and they only make 20a units now??

I've replaced the rewireable fuses and isolators with 32a rcds etc but cannot find a suitable 30A timer switch anywhere.

here is a link http://www.sangamo.co.uk/Knowledge-Hub/ObsoleteProducts.aspx
the unit was the S610.

Any ideas advice. cheers

just a thought but if they are retired are they not entitled to a free heating upgrade from the gov?

The immersion heater timer might be an alternative if you can zone them to spread the loads .

You could replace the individual spurs with timer units. Or depending on where the timer switch is, you could fit a 32A contactor to switch them. I'm guessing rewiring is out of the question?
