Adi Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 This post is //.B.W.F.// eyed. One minute on about mains suppresion then 12v spikes. The above image of the 12v spike filter is the wrong one to fit and will diddly squat. Fit a mains spike filter to the 230v connections in the panel, job done. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit a mains spike filter to the 230v connections in the panel, job done. agreed imo, but it is as designed to go into the 12 volts not mains so might get a nice pop if you try it. far cheaper to fit 2 x 100 pf caps center tapped to earth, and making inductors by wrapping the leads around a small screwdriver 5 turns to make a coil, but i'm just old school so please ignore me everyone regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

barooga Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 And i'd fit a suppressor to the Central heating - It appears to be the cause. Or sort out why it is kicking out spikes. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
