Re: Boiler / Wiring - Emergency response needed from a spark etc

["Chris Miles" <chrismiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok... So the boiler in the kitchen.. Should that be getting power for
CW and also HW ? Or should it only
switch live for the CH? What heats the HW then if CW (which is switching
live to the boiler) is off?

thanks

Chris

I agree, it doesn't look right.

Do you not have any motorised valves? Normally they sit between the
timer and boiler/pump and provide the "logic" for the control
signals.

Normal electro-mechanical thermostats need the neutral connection,
but some of the electronic "programmable" thermostats you can get
these days have batteries and only need the live/switched live
connections. If you have the latter it would work, but I'm pretty
certain there's no way you should have the Neutral on the thermostat
connected to the sometimes-live HW "on" terminal.

This may help:
