Hi
I recently purchased a water feature from B&Q and when the installation was complete it was noted that when the pump was switched off it tripped the ELCB on the consumer unit
I understand that the amount of inductance generated by the motor causes a spike when the unit is switched off and this is the cause of the ELCB tripping. Further research has revealed that a suppression or "Snubber" circuit which is comprised of a resistor and capacitor in series will eliminate this type of problem.
Has anyone else experienced this type of problem and are these type of "Snubber" circuits available for purchase?
