lights dim when boiler cycles - can this be helped?
When the boiler in my house cycles, the lights dim all over the house.
Is there anything I can do to limit voltage drops like this? My house has 200amp service; the boiler is on a 20amp circuit with 10 ga aluminum wire (this is the correct size wire for 20amp); and the cable between the socket on the outside of the house and the 200amp panel is enormous. What can be done? 200amp service for the house is an incredible overkill. My guess is that the house usually draws 40amp or so during busy periods, fewer amps otherwise. Thanks, Michael |
