I have a 115V Honda inverter generator that can put out 2200 watts. My well pump is 1/2 hp, which should be well within that power requirement, but is 230 volts. Can I simply install a step-up transformer to run the pump off my generator?
I have a question about wiring pump overrun on a Vaillant ecofit pure boiler (not a combi).
I had my old boiler replaced in 2019 and there was no provision for wiring the existing pump from the boiler in the existing wiring, and the fitter said it was OK to leave it so the pump switched on and...
I’m trying to get my head around how the controls work on heat pump systems .
Usually on a s plan combi boiler let’s just say 2 zones I’ve learned that power to spur from spur to Timeclock to stat calls for heat switch live from stat on to brown on the motorised valve micro switch closes...
Hi, My Aunty has been quoted for a new pump and my cousin was there as-well and said what a nice guy he was etc
but they told me he said it might be unto £800 he was going to get a better make etc. But I just got him to post me a picture of the old pump
Now I know I always get good advice...
You may have read elsewhere that I managed to break the hand pump for my inflatable awning for my caravan, so I’m currently looking for an electric equivalent.
However, im looking to see if I can find a pump that will do the awning (low pressure) and double up as an emergency tyre inflater...
Hi Guys
Recently finished a new build house.
Commissioning engineer came in the other day (2nd visit whilst I wasn't there) and mentioned we need to put a pipe stat on the secondary loop pump.
We've only ever wired these as on/ off time controlled.
Apparently it's regs (heating engineer we...
Afternoon ,
I have been asked to wire in a Plumbright PR 20 sta condensate pump. The pump has a live neutral and earth and a separate float cable with two wires attached. I am a little unsure with wiring as have no diagrams etc.
I am assuming in a green star I can use the LNE supply terminals...
Dont know much about motor testing but I have the following results. Pump was working fine until recently but blows fuse as soon as energised. The pump is 7amp max and was fused at 10a, glass type. I got 4 ohms between live and neutral at the pump terminals and >100 megs to earth. I have no...
Seems to be working ok, as in texting and calling.
The mains relay's I have used are getting too hot, seems that the led resistor is of the wrong value so are dissipating too much heat.
Have started to do it another way for the mains monitoring.
Work for a company who sub contracts to the local council and looking for some advice.
In the domestic properties the council have wired a shower pump off the load side of the showers in 2.5mm (40A RCBO) which then serves a 13A switched fused spur to feed the shower pump. I am unsure this is ok...
Hi all! Im having an issue getting an electrician to my place before the holiday. My pool is filled and ready to go. I have ran the grounding bond wire and connected it to 4 spots on the pool. The filter has a bonding plate inside and then to the pump itself. I need to run a new circuit. Just...
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
We have a waste water pump in our first floor flat. The water pump failed and stopped draining water from the shower. We noticed too late and the water draining through the ceiling in to the property below.
Is there a device or something we can do to know...
Hi all,
I've noticed that my UFH pump is not always turning on as soon as the stat & valve calls for heat. This results in hot water passing through the underfloor pipes but without being pumped, which means it takes forever for the room to heat.
From testing with a multimeter I see that it's...
Good evening all, I’m currently part way through my apprenticeship and we are working on IB, IN, IZ and IT and volt drop today. And it got me thinking I have seen a circumstance at work, where:
A shower has been wired in 10mm T+E on a 40A breaker. But then from the shower isolator switch a 2.5mm...
Hi all,
Thank you in advance...
So I had an electrician put in some FCUs on spurs to a couple of outside lights.. this one was in readiness to feed a pond pump.
I'm very reluctant to question the experts, but I wanted to put an LED FCU on, and found this.. I really don't think it can be...
