Wiring A Boiler To Mains
Will the 25 need to be a loop or can a single wire run straight from the cu to the boiler position.
Wiring a boiler to mains. Our boiler now has 120 v primary power going through a switch to a transformer supplying 24 v secondary power to the gas valve. They say and also institute for electrical engineers say that all boilers must either be wired out of a purpose fitted fuse spur with a 3a fuse to protect the boiler or can be wired onto a normal 13amp plug and plugged into a socket which cannot be switched. Im going to remove the panel box and just discuss l1 and l2 the primary power going to the transformer. The boiler will have a terminal which activates the boiler when mains voltage is applied to it typically labelled sl or switched line.
I have a question about an old y plan central heating installation dating back to 2000. The main control will be at the boiler postion think it will be a remote ch thermostat and programmer which is wireless so the main body of wiring will be near the boiler. These boilers require a mains voltage thermostat which can have 2 or 3 wires. Terminals behind the boiler are exactly the same as the lw821.
Now lets wire our boiler with its gas valve. Non switching socket so that in order to isolate the appliance u have to physically remove the plug. Incoming mains cold water is heated by the boiler and passes directly to the hot taps. You may need to run a separate bit of te for this dont forget to connect up the earth at both ends.
Good evening just like to say hello and that i am not a gas engineer or an electrician but i would just like to understand what i need to ask for. A combination boiler or combi is a boiler which heats hot water on demand and additionally can function as a normal boiler to heat hot water for radiators. What are the terminals behind the boiler switch. Also the plug itself must have a 3 amp fuse to protect the appliance components.
There are no controls for the hot water section hot taps are plumbed directly to the boiler. Other possible wiring from the connection box on your boiler could be to a thermostat 3 cores earth or maybe to a wiring centre type junction box to connect with any valves etc 5 cores earth. Which wire goes where. It is for underfloor heatingfirst time wiring it and given wrong instructions by plumbera wire was left out from manifold to boiler call so i need to turn it on only have a mains supply of 240v but need to turn boiler on 24v in.
Also a wire from from terminal 1 on the boiler switched live in to connect to terminal 4 on the hive. I have an old gloworm micron 50ff boiler situated in the consumer unit cupboard.
