Hi folks, I wasn't sure whether to post this here or on 'electrics UK' so apologises if I've got that wrong.
I have installed an inverter with the intention of providing standby power to our CH boiler but ran into a problem during the system's first test yesterday. The boiler itself will happily run on inverter power but after the usual pre-ignition time lapse flashes up an error code & will not ignite. I can clear the code & resume normal operation if I switch back to grid power, but the code will not clear when on the inverter.
There is no indication (led & sound warnings) that the load is higher than the inverter's continuous rated power output.
Tech details :
Boiler Baxi duo-tech combi 28 lpg
Inverter Mercury IPS600-12
This is a CE marked unit, not a cheap knock-off.
Pure sine wave with a continuous power output of 600W & the capability of double
that for 2 seconds to cope with a start-up surge.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
