Chattering selenoid valve on Boiler
Hi.
I have a Worcester Bosch oil fired boiler about 6 years old. During the winter only the selenoid valve on the oil inlet chatters and makes a helluva noise. In the warmer weather it is as quiet as a lamb. I live in a country area and suspect that the mains voltage is dropping due to more load on the overhead cables that feed our village. How can I check and is there a statutary voltage that the supplier must meet? |

Replaced the coil an it was fine. (he also has a low mains voltage problem - which did not seem to affect the repaired valve though). in a country area and suspect that the mains voltage is dropping due to more load on the overhead cables that feed our village. How can I check and is there a statutary voltage that the supplier must meet? 230V +10%/-6% (i.e. 216 - 253V) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
