    Loved your comment reaction to Phil 🤣🤣🤣👏👏. Did you feel relieved 🤣? "Who invented Electricity?" is a minefield question because there are varied answers ranging from Benjamin Franklin in 1752 when he experimented using a kite and a key on a rainy day (to show the relationship between lightning and electricity); to Faraday, Volta, Edison and Tesla. I guess each improved on what had come before? Well done Joe on completing the working Inverter (minus the snagging bits and bobs) and the washing machine. Not forgetting the Bathroom door done so well by Danni. You are a good team! Glad you are also chilling as well as ticking off all the to-do jobs on your list; the pinny looks gorgeous Danni ❤

    Hey we also use 220/240 Volts.. You should really install a RCD /earth leakage. It compares the power going in and coming back if any is lost ie you touch a open wire it will trip and save your life. Unless the inverter has that built in but I did not see anything.. they are easy to fit also

    European voltage is nominally 230v, including the UK. It was standardised in 2003, however the reality is that the UK is often closer to 240 and much of Europe remains closer to 220, in Finland it is generally 230 nowadays. Some European plugs use side earth (north), some a central earth pin that protrudes from the socket(south). Often sockets found in bedrooms, landings and living rooms have no earth at all. Simply it is all a mess, and that is before you get to ring mains and more...

    Ok, so I’m just a fat 78 year old man and have not too much experience with 240 volt electricity but I’m not sure I like the idea of copper covers for outlets. My advice (such as it is) be very careful using these outlets. Having said that I think you both are doing a great job. I really enjoy your vlog and am very impressed with your design and hard work.

    Nothing wrong with being fat and 78, must at least be well fed! 😂 Genuinely agree it just goes against any logical thinking of electrical conductivity! I don’t even like touching the stainless steel ones but they are completely isolated and safe/tested etc. You won’t find me putting my tongue to them though that’s for sure.

    Really enjoying your Narrowboat Renovation. I've got a question, and a suggestion - Do you have two 230VAC circuits? If so, shouldn't the "source" wires from the Inverter to the circuit breakers be the same wire gauge as the total of two load wires - in case both loads are being used at the same time?

  • @ethelmini

    @ethelmini

    Жыл бұрын

    Yes, if the circuit breakers are the only overload protection, but I'd be surprised if the inverter doesn't have its own (the breakers wouldn't protect a short circuit before them) & the current capacity will be higher if the supply side is short runs that aren't enclosed in a wall etc.

    Just one observation on the electrical side of things. You new consumer unit has two 16 amp breakers so the potential to pull 32 amps in total. It looks like you used 2.5mm flex for the connection from consumer unit to the inverter. I think that type of flex is rated to a total of 20amps. I would install a cable thats rated to the maximum the inverter can output. What im basically saying is that say you had a fault or lots of load on both 16amps circuits you have the potential to overheat that 2.5mm cable. Its hard to know what exact size to use but i would imagine 6mm would be good for 32amps, It all depends on what the inverter can output on max. Other than that workmanship looks top notch and boat is coming along nicely!

    The UK is 230v, Europe is 220v America is a bit of a mix 120v as a standard but they also have 240v for appliances. 110v is building site electrics in the UK. Look up boot lace farrells for crimping onto the ends of the flex when terminating because they are now standard practice and much better for the screws to bit on without cutting the strands of the copper.
