Schaudt Electroblok EBL 226

[bobmbell]

There have been a number of threads and details posted regarding the problems of Electroblok's failing due to power 'spikes'. So far I have not seen any mention of the above model which is fitted to my Adria Coral (bought in the last month) which is a 2011 model. Anyone come accross this model (Electroblok) and if so, do I need to fil an OVP before going abroad?

Hi Bob & welcome to the forum.

 

Dave Newell is the guru on the Electroblok / OVP & a regular on the forum. It may be worth a call to him,

 

They are also available for mail order on his website.

If you talk to Schaudt they always recommend fitting an OVP with their Elektroblock units. Myself I have not bothered as I rarely use hook-ups.

If you are going to use hook-ups all across Europe I think it would be worth the small cost, continental Europe has lot more overhead power feeds to properties than the UK and these are more sceptical to voltage fluctuations.

I suggest you email Udo Lang at Schaudt to see if they have incorporated OVP in your unit :- Udo.Lang@schaudt-gmbh.de

Hi Bob,

 

I have an Adria Compact bought new this year in Germany. It too has the 226 Electrobloc and both the Adria manual and the Schaudt booklet clearly show it includes OVP.

I suppose it is possible that the spec may be different but I doubt it. The Schaudt instruction booklet included in the Adria manual pack says in big letters on the front: Electrobloc 226 + EVP.

If yours doesn't show this then you may have to make further enquiries

Haven't got my Schaudt manual to hand, but for the model we've got then it only has OVP if it's marked on front of unit.
