Hi all - New WoodBurner Installation

[Rob_the_Sparky]

FYI 0C to +70C is the standard temperature range for commercial electronics, would not be surprised if cables follow this but do not know for sure.  These are board level temperatures, not ambient temperatures, by the way so the TV will be rated at a lower temperature than this, potentially quite a lot lower.

 

If you are worried about flue temps, then maybe you put the flue out through the wall and up the outside and build a fake chimney inside with all the shelving space you could want behind the TV.  Personally I'd be cautious about putting electronics above wood burner though regardless of the flue but you might be OK, I do not know for sure.  I have never put a thermometer on the wall above my wood burner to know what sort of temps I get for sure.

Cables are generally either 70 deg C or 90, the first result I saw, and then quoted suggested twin and earth (house wires) are 70deg C... which is the maximum operating temperature including the effects of current heating things up from the inside. After that the insulation can begin to break down quicker. Noting that if a cable is regularly run hot then its insulation will break down quicker with a shorter life. You might also note that despite the intention to only run an energy efficient TV from the power cables in the chimney got to account for people doing otherwise. For example, might be that you get a decorator in (you're not doing the work) who wants to strip back the oak beam, with an electric heat gun... handy TV power supply so uses that while the fire is on.... cable over heats.....

 

 

Like I said though if you can ensure that the cables don't get too hot, like Rob the Sparky suggests and run the chimney outside then not a problem (however my chimney gets hot all the way up, you'll be loosing that heat to outside if you do)

This is not a DIY project unless you know what you are doing.   My advice is to go to your local independent stove shop and get costings to supply and install the stove you like the best.
