nob head!!!

If you put 230volts AC onto one side of any capacitor there will be 230 volts on the other side of the capacitor if nothing is connected to it!! Thats obvious but both ends are floating in thin air, voltage has been induced on line, no capacitance theory in my mind! dont wanna argue over...

Still a fault regardless of tech gargen is said! im not a house sparky but am a avionics/lecky on aircraft! im happy with how i have rectified the snag!

better spec cable and free!!!

160 VOLTS is very high tho for induced voltage with both ends of wire disconnected, dialetric? its not co-ax! well maybe the house wiring requires screening ? cheers for help!

cheers.............. Thought a proper insulation/resistance (a mega) tester was supplied by its own dc battery?? yes of course normally wouldnt use a fluke unless a direct line to line fault! so answer is clearly insulation breakdown?? good job i do all my house mods using aircraft...

Hi all, ive seen this topic come up from doing a google search on other forums but thought id ask for help on here!! the voltage is not induced from multimeter, I will say that now :-) Purchased some LED gu10 bulbs and they remain on extremely dim when both switches in on position! replaced...

DIY

PCB fixed the problem!

3 port actuator, is that just random guess? I dont think so..... that would be commanded from heating/water control panel surely? The noise is deffinately coming from pcb in boiler but someone has had similar fault before and a new pcb failed to rectify fault. Could fix mine though! Supressor...

Thanks for reply. Why fit one now and not 15 years ago? surely something is faulty or on its way out.

Hi to all, Have seen other posts on boiler relay chattering, I have same issue. Started off quite quiet with some interference when watching TV which it would, but now quite loud chattering. Have seen a post where pcb change didn,t fix fault. My boiler is approx 15 years old. Any...
