    Where to get Schematic

    The DNO have been excellent. They went straight to my file and sent me what they had same day as I asked.

    Where to get Schematic

    My solar panels and battey system were installed and MCS certified back in 2016. unfortunately the installers went bust not long after the install and I never got some of the paperwork. This didnt matter as at the time i didnt qualify for the FIT anyway and as long as it was registered with LABC...

    Solar iBoost died

    I think that's what I'm saying. The higher fault load handled means the ceramic will be hotter and so will be more messy when it blows where the glass one will blow at a lower fault and only the wire will melt... that's how it seems in my head anyway...

    Solar iBoost died

    Indeed. I bought mine new about 7 years ago. Also have solar with battery but any unused goes to the grid. Hence putting the water unit in. Wish I could find a switching system so I could charge a second battery bank once the first is full....

    Solar iBoost died

    Maybe they changed the design to a glass fuse cos the ceramic was too strong? . Mine was clean just blown??

    Not from me I'm afraid. It's inside the unit... its one of those " open here to void the warranty" things. Mine was out of warranty anyway. If you open the unit the fuse is pretty obvious but it's not supposed to be "tampered" with so be aware.

    It was. I take it yours is ceramic? My guess is they are interchangeable but???

    Solar iBoost died

    I didn't. I replaced a glass fuse with a glass fuse rated identically :) admittedly it was a slightly larger glass fuse but it was rated the same. Admittedly ive done many silly things in my time. To be fair though on this occasion tested all the component's I could first with a multimeter...

    Solar iBoost died

    I just looked at my amazon orders. Think I might have got them on ebay as it happens but there are several on amazon at a sensible price. Just search for 16A fast blow fuses. I went for the glass ones cos its easier to see if they've blown. I did hold it carefully over the existing fuse before...

    Solar iBoost died

    16A to match what was there. I bought a pack of 5 from amazon. They were too big so I soldered it to the top of the fuse holder as there was plenty of room. I think I paid about £5 for the fuses. Make sure they are fast blow as well otherwise if you use standard blow, if it goes again it'll fry...

    It lives. Removed the 16A internal fuse and replaced with. Unit struck up and apart from having to reset the tine works perfectly.

    Indeed. I shall see soon I guess...

    Solar iBoost died

    I think it blew because the immersion heater blew up... the neutral cable had come loose I think and arced. It was probably quite pretty... What I'm more annoyed with is the 13A replaceable fuse in the spur still works fine... I'll be speaking with Marlec next week. As you say need to double...

    Solar iBoost died

    Its a 16A ceramic fuse. I'm guessing as its 16A means it cant be classed as replaceable. I have a plan...
