Hi
I have bought a 1300 watt generator to power my central heating during
power cuts. However the boiler will not ignite. I am thinking this is due
to the spark generator requiring a large instantaneous current. The thing
is the boilers internal fuse is 2amp and the connection to the mains has a
3 amp fuse. The generator is rated 3.7 amp. Have I bought in
insufficiently powerful generator? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks

Mark

Sorry I did not give enough info. I am a bit new to this.
My boiler is a gas condensing type. I have earthed the Generator to the
water supply pipes. I have wired the boiler to a 13 amp plug (fitted with a
3amp fuse) and plugged this into the generator. When I plug the boiler back
into the mains it starts first time. The Generator is a Kipor KGE1300Tc
digital convertor generator. Will have a mess around with the earth supply.
Thanks for all the replies so far.
