Earth Fault Loop Impedence

What is earth fault loop impedence and why should heating engineers test for it. Covers the guidance from Gas Safe and a practical demo.
Mid-Position Valve - How it works
Просмотров 14 тыс.4 года назад
A 3-port mid-position central heating valve has some clever electronics inside. This video takes a look, explains how it works and some of the issues that can arise. If you're not familiar with Y-plan wiring, you may find it helpful to watch this first - ruclips.net/video/9nVijLyEC-k/видео.html
W Plan - Priority Hot Water
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.4 года назад
This video explains how a priority hot water system using a diverter valve is wired. It uses a simple line drawing to explain the component parts and how they interconnect in the wiring centre. The system is then built and tested.
Y-plan - mid-position diverter valve
Просмотров 3,5 тыс.4 года назад
In this video you will be shown an easy to read wiring diagram for a heating system using a 3-port mid-position valve. I'll explain how I wire the system and how to trace wires in a junction-box for fault-finding. I then show the system in practice and put it to the test. There are issues with 3-port valves which sometimes cause problems; these are mentioned and will be looked at in more detail...
Central Heating Wiring Made-Easy - The Basics
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.4 года назад
This video explains the basic structure of a switch and how switches interconnect to control the hot water circuit in an S-plan, two-port zone valve, system. This is emphasised using a simple line-drawing. The components are assembled, wired into a junction box and the system tested.

    Thanks for this video. I have had problems with my heating working intermittently for the last few months. It will work fine for a few days or maybe a week and then the boiler won’t fire when the call for heat is made. If I turn it all off for a couple of days and then start again it will work again for a while. I assumed it was the boiler at fault nd maybe the PCB but then I noticed the hot water on its own works fine, boiler fires no problem and it works as it should. It only seems to be when CH only is selected. I can hear the boiler clicking on and off trying to start so I think it communicates with the room stat, goes to start and then the mid position actuator doesn’t move as it should. Does this sound the likely issue to you because if it was the brass valve then the hot water wouldn’t work either? Thanks.

    Brilliant, had me going round the bend with a Biasi advance 30c combi. Sometimes the CH would work but as I was using a netatamo over the Internet I saw my gas bill plunge to next to nothing with the tenants complaining that the heating was off. I was adamant the heating was on because netatmo told me it was on my smartphone!!

    Many thanks for another great video, so thoroughly explained! I was worried why my motorised valve was hot at 6:15 when everything was off, and now I know why (but not really happy about it). Still not fathomed out why my boiler shuts down for 10 mins when the valve changes over from HW to heat🤔

    Hi Adam. Great video. I set up my system similar to yours but I used choc box instead of wago wiring centre. If, as you suggested, having 2 zones for heating and one zone for hot water (3 switches in programmer), I presume you would need to use a 3 channel programmer as opposed to 2 channel in your video

    Hi, i was getting no movement or resistance on the spring when all power is off the switch to go from auto and manual is lose, when turn on heating or hot water nothing is moving and boiler not firing up but pump is running. I’m a gas safe plumber just looking for some advice. Thanks

    • @adamcarter781
      @adamcarter781 3 года назад

      Body spindle may be stuck, remove head, check spindle. look inside head to see if spring is broken. Boiler should fire on HW without 3PV operation, you may need to investigate this separately. Good luck.

  • @DrBobee76
    @DrBobee76 3 года назад

    Nice mechanical conzruction. I think the Electronic board of boiler add the signal and it periodically round, when the boiler heats the radiators, and you open a hot water tap. But I want ask some question. What is the heating and what the hot water storage tank heating, the pin out or in? What is the base state for example diverter valve(Ariston), from above, I ask because my old Ariston quadriga heats the radiators too when only hot water is used, and vice versa. It strarted when I turned on the thermostat after 4 months of summer heating break.

    You should test at the fused spur then then junction box You don’t know if the earth conductor has come out at the fused spur if so you’re test results would be invalid

  • @waynenixon729
    @waynenixon729 3 года назад

    I've seen systems where the earth has been used as a switching wire. Just remember the earth wire protects the cable and would cause the circuit breaker to trip if someone cut through the cable.

  • @waynenixon729
    @waynenixon729 3 года назад

    Nicely explained but i can see one problem, all cables need a earth wire, as the earth wire protects the cable if someone was to cut through the cable or if there was a problem with in the cable.

    • @adamcarter781
      @adamcarter781 3 года назад

      Instal a relay switch between room stat and zone valve. Relay powered by room stat, hot water off to common, normally open to feed zone valve. Programmer set to gravity so that hot water on is tied to heating on. Hope that makes sense. Good luck.

    Great Video, very well done. My HE24 packed up and will only try to fire up if left for a good while. It fired up before but when I called for hot water it crashed and gave an L9 code. User manual (I think) is saying thermistor or heat exchanger blockage. Am I missing something?
