After having some substantial electrical work done on my home, I’m finding that my oil boiler randomly trips it’s designated 10mA rcbo.
Previously the house was guarded by a single 100mA rcd and this never tripped.
The boiler can run for hours before this happens but naturally enough never when I’m there.....the time clock told me it had run for 9 hours previously to tripping.
The electrical parts of the burner (igniter, control box, motor) are newish, there is only a room stat and a circulating pump - no port valves at all.
The boiler earthing is intact and according to the electrician all is well there.
How can I prevent this happening? A know nowt like me leans towards a capacitor across the mains feed but I’d be really interested to hear professional comments!
Thanks in anticipation
