This is a Douple Pole CHANGE OVER switch.

BAS wants to be able to run the cent heat control circuit from the UPS in the case of a mains failure.

I wonder if there is a space for Bernie Ecclestone on the board ?

vir standas for vulcanised indian rubber

it was a material used to make cables. Any vir cable that is still in service will be extremely old and the rubber tends to degrade especially if it has been abused (overload etc) in the past

Ban,

Why not just run the boiler through a UPS full time?


Hope its better than the Merlin Gerin TP+N boards where if you drop the front panel whilst removing it you switch the main incomer off..

Can / will this, safely include the CH circulation pump ?

According to the spec sheet, the whole thing's in the 200-300W-ish range (can't remember off the top of my head...). Just a pump - none of this fancy zoning stuff....

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Have I crossed it, do you think?

Time to change my sig...

 

[dw3101]

A small ups will quite happily run a 200w boiler, problem is the length of run time you want..

The Autonomy on our 40KVA Ups's is 120mins (in reality we have a diesel generator that should start long before!)

There is a pub nearby named 'The Brains Surgery' ( )

An appoinment or three there should correct any abnormality !!

Ah - Brains Skull Attack - an excellent beer!

where i work part time we have a room full of batteries. if there is a major event on outside tho we have to get a generator in aswell. this has a 125A psocket to connect it to the main building. its to power 4 lighthing towers wqith 16 lights each (think it drops to half load when using backup)
