Boiler experts and electrical interference ?

Or recommend a forum for such



i reckon my Potterton Netaheat Boiler 10-16 is causing Pops and such on the audio on my tv , thru the ellectrics i'd guess



i had an example tonight during dragons den - thru my tv aerial into the tv i heard a loud pop but was taping the program thru my ntl analogue box



on playback it had the same noise at the same time



Q) Any pointers so i can advise someone how to fix this ?



thanks


It will be from the boiler thermostat switching and out causing small sparks across the contacts. It could suggest that the thermostat is on the way out (excess sparking) or it could be solved by the installation across the contact of a mains interference suppressor or "snubber", which consists of a capacitor and resistor within an encapsulated moulding. This is from one of the suppliers I use;

If you got tothe website for RS components

then in the find products field enter stock no. 616-7682 that should take you straight to the snubber required.
