The relay just clicks on and off. I've attached a few photos of the internals of the unit. It's quite old, but was working a while ago, so perhaps a replacement might sort the problem, what do we reckon?
I guess it just uses an ambient...
Hi guys I have a big problem with 3-phase induction motor in star connection
The motor power is 3-hp
When the motor is starting periodically (many times per minute) it is over heating after 10 minutes from start of working. If the motor is in continuous operation it doesn't heat but if it...
Hi hoping for some help here, I turned off my boiler over xmas, came back turned it on and now it's no longer heating the store.
I've checked both off peak and boost, neither are warming, I've checked and tried to reset both thermostats on both elements, but they both seemed like they didn't...
Hi,
My daughter's wifi has gone down, all of south west London Virgin users have no wifi for past 3 days due to someone cutting a cable.
She has just moved into a house with Nest installed and is using underfloor heating to get heat.
Does anyone know how to manually turn on the heating with...
My dilemma: I have Gas central heating ('S-Plan' with two port valves. Hot cylinder also has an immersion heater). No activity at the relevant zone valve when 'calling' for hot water.
Powering the Immersion heater does activate the hot water zone valve. I have a non-vented cylinder, fitted...
we have a conventional heating system and underfloor heating recently installed by the builders plumber - it’s all wired up (pump, valve, thermostat receiver etc..) but both the electrician and builder seem to be at odds with the connection at the boiler.
currently the boiler just has LNE and...
Interested in opinions on this. Need to put the boiler (in my own house) in a temporary location for 6 months while an extension is built, when it will go in the extension. Running a dedicated 10mm to the temporary location will be a pita, and entirely unnecessary since I already have what...
Looking for books that go into detail on heating systems especially S Plan and also wiring on commercial plots such as communial flats etc
thanks in advance !
I am not any techie in anyway, just stumbled across this forum. I have a BG UP2 controller. The hot water is working fine. This morning I wanted to switch the heating on, outside of the normal hours. The arrow will not move from the off position. Would anyone suggest a new controller, or...
my flexicom 24cx has Hot Water but no Central Heating. the problem seem to be the analogue switch selector. it looks as if it is stuck on the off position and won't move to the timer or on position. Is it that I do not know how to move it??
Evening all. New to the forum and was wondering what peoples thoughts were on installing downlights near plastic heating pipes ?
I was planning to install some enlite E6 LED downlights in my hall way.
I somehow managed to pick a spot right in between a couple of pipes.
Looks like I'll need to...
Hi guys,
Had Baxi round to do a service, and immediately after the central heating wasn’t turning on (hot water is fine).
Had them back out and they said the boiler is fine, it must be a faulty thermostat. Replaced the thermostat today, and still nothing.
When I connect the live and call...
Hi everone
can anyone advise me on two things
I'm having underfloor heating fitted and want to run it on my economy 7
Has anyone managed to do this and how could you control the input?
What sort of electric metre could be used?
Bearing I. Mind it turns off during the day so won't have...
Hi guys
Being to a job today where the builder has installed some electric under floor heating
Total area is 20.5 m2
The mats are 150w per m2
The total load is just over 3kw.
He has first fixed the wiring and checking it he has used a socket wired off the ring main to spur off to a switch...
Hi folks,
A relative of mine has recently brought a small flat and needs some heaters installed. There is no gas supply to the property so electrical heating is the only solution however I am a little out of touch with what's currently available as I moved away from install work some time ago...
Hi.
I've got some lighting & cooker contactors buzzing & overheating..
There are a few old ones in situ with visual thermal damage. coil rated at 250V
I have new ones that are quiet but still warm to touch the sides. coil rated at 230V
I've read that the 230/250 AC coil contactors dont cope...
To start with it all seems to make sense, the TRV measures the room temperature and controls the radiator temperature to suit, as the water flow is restricted the by-pass valve lifts, and hotter water is returned to boiler, so the boiler is throttled back (modulated) so the heat exchanger is...
Does anyone have knowledge on how the Lifetime cost of gas and electric compare in a domestic application. Almost by default gas central heating is installed assuming that it’s cheaper option.
Hi Folks,
Any advice/assistance would be much appreciated on this painful problem!
My Honeywell programmer is jumping from "Off" to "Auto" automatically, randomly and seriously annoyingly!
I have replaced the programmer but no joy.
Any thoughts?
