Hi, I'm not an electrician (I was a telecoms engineer with BT, back in the day), but I watch a lot of your videos. I found this one really interesting, because I'm about to get an EV. If I have any work done I like to check on the best practice for that work! I'm very impressed with your professional and knowledge. I really hope I manage to find an electrician as good as you! Keep up the great work.

Hi Jordan and Cory, great information. Having a Zappi installed next week so better prepared for getting involved with the set-up procedures. Follow all of your work.

Thanks for the excellent videos Jordan. You have inspired me as a newcomer to the industry. Two questions about EV charging please: 1- Can the testing be carried out by an ordinary MFT (Megger) or do I have to buy a special one for the Zappi ? 2- Is an SPD needed on the whole consumer unit or just for the EV circuit ?

Cory look like he posing to be taken a picture😂..im loving the team✌🏼✌🏼

Hi Jordan, If you had solar panels would you need to wire the ct back to the harvi in the meter cabinet or would you need a separate harvi local to the solar panel supply?

Sometimes it's handy having someone tell you about a product, but then you will only forget, you only get to know about something when you are working on them day in day out, but you always have the instructions to fall back on, these things are not difficult to install, it's only another circuit. Judging by the comments, when someone does a simple job, they now have to be praised from the roof tops, is that where we are at in this country.

Great video 📹 👍

whats the range of the hub? Like how far away from the charger can i have it? Installing a zappi in our carport - 20-30 meters from our router. Do you think it will work? No walls in between.

Quick question please: If you have solar pv and a Powerwall and want to fit two Zappi chargers and an Eddi, how many Harvi ‘s, Hub’s and CT’s do you need?

Hi Jordan, I’ve been watching your KZread channel for a while now as I was looking to get an EV and therefore a home wall charger. That’s how I found your channel in the first place. Now I have my EV (e-Niro) and the people installing my free wall charger have said I need a 100 amp Dual Pole Isolation Switch fitted by my energy supplier (EDF). Because of COVID-19 EDF are not doing any service work at the moment. Is the 100a DP Isolation Switch something an Electrician can fit or does it have to be my energy supplier? Thanks again Great Channel!

Great video

Zappi CTs runs on a single twisted pair ethernet cable, if you ever need to extend them (up to 100M) you can connect supplied CT cable to a single pair of standard Ethernet cable. You can connect more than one Harvi to a system, so on a very big system more than six CTs are possible, devices can also be grouped so two separate Solar systems can be grouped so that Zappi sees how much power is being produced.

BTW You can have multiple Harvi's as well as using the wired CT connections. I've got solar and batteries and the CT's are all in different locations.

Thanks, artisan electrics 👍🏻

1:57 you need to trademark that gentle caress 😆😆😆

As the Harvi is powerd by the magnetic field harvested using a CT, If you place it before the meter, is that technically stealing electricity?

Did you find out, how many CTs can be used? Maybe the config menue shows, how many mappings for CT inputs to their value's interpretation (solar, battery....) are available. Is there more than 3? Would be nice to be able to measure 3 phase grid + Solar + Battery, at best Solar/Battery also with 3 Phases....

I saw on one of your previous video’s you just fitted a Hager SP MCB for the supply is it not DP you need to be fitting for the Zappi?

@artisanelectrics

3 жыл бұрын

No because it has built in isolation via its own double pole RCD

May I ask, is Cory Hypersensitive for sunlight?

As the Harvi is connected before the meter and derives its power from induction so legaly you are extracting un metered power, should the CT be on the tails from the meter? I relise its minmal but............

isn't meter connection for information about cheap tarrif? we have day and night tarrif in Croatia and night one is much cheaper and it starts at 21 in winter and at 22 in summer. and you can plug car in and it wolud start charging when meter says it's cheaper...

Hi - any particular reason why you left all the cable coiled up between the CT and the Harvi, rather than cutting it to length?

@artisanelectrics

3 жыл бұрын

Not really, you can do it either way. I usually cut them short to be fair

I keep getting grid limitation on my newly installed zappi is it because the grid limitation is set way to low

Isn't Cory a spark already??? He's right about CT though😁

Please can you cover the testing procedures and the installation certificate for EV chargers?

One question, even though it might seem obvious wouldnt a 32a breaker be a bit close to the 30 odd amps it draws ?

No. Also the MCBs are not tripping on spot. Thermal overload for B and C curve is 1.13 to 1.45 times the rated current for one hour on an ambient temperature of 30°C. On a 32A MCB that would be between 36.2 and 46.4A. But actually it's not wise to use this overhang. Which isn't done, because 30A are still less than 32A.

How does the circuit for the CT know which way power is flowing? Ah, yes, phase angle. But a current measurement (CT) must be time referenced to voltage measurement (in Zappi). So the Harvi must be quite a clever little widget, particularly as it is self powered! The Zappi must be able to receive an instantaneous current reading from the Harvi and be able to compare it against an instantaneous voltage reading in the Zappi taken at about the same time, or at least within half a 50Hz cycle. Is this right? No wonder they don't use wifi.
