Do you know how SMALL a Tesla powerwall or car battery is? I have 900AH at 24 volts - I would need 2 Tesla Powerwall = 1100AH at 12 volts so 650ah at 24 volts and mine fucken works and it's worked for 20 plus years with the growing pains limitations of 24 volts. Every single panel has it's very own "2x 3Flex HD powerpoint leads" for both Pos-Neg and they take the most direct route from the panels to the Regulators - back to the 900AH batteries and to the 24vInverter - *Here's my 25 year Hint if you want it it's Free. Gang All your Panels together to the Max and make that just above your battery bank voltage - Example if your panels can be incorporated in a 300dcv system run your battery bank as a 250 volt system - the reg is to take out the imbalance and a Reg costs power so ... "If your house runs on 250volts - you need a 270volt battery to eliminate the size of your reg and inverter. This is all about how much power you use and if you've moved from National Grid to Solar ... Welcome to the real world of Cloud Cover ... Every Time you Change Voltage it costs you power so if you are building on a Solar system and your house runs on 110 or 230 volts - link your panels to the highest voltage they can and batteries the same because inverters are expensive on power. Don't get stuck on a 24v system - 48 volt is double the economy and 96volt system double that - go for a battery bank of around 100 volts - 24v is expensive so get Really Close to your AC voltage in the battery - As High AS Your Panels Can Handle and Run - Go 96 volts you can always come down you can't go Up.* Then there's the Air Cables between 20 and 30 pairs all completely supported by AIR Clamps on both the outside of an iron wall and the inside with the belief that people like cats aren't going to fight in the loose mangle of domestic 3 flex cables all acting like a single wire. A Photo of the Air- Suspension traveling past all that sharp iron wall would drive the belief of a god into a viewer but in 23 years no rat has caused a short because we have cats. so @artisanelectrics leaving all your cables as 'open air suspended' with full cat access has Worked so far - Photos of the cables, and cats are available - I left the world in 1999 - it's now ... 2023 and I'm on my second New batteries. Low voltage systems aren't worth pussying around with !!! Most Panels will chain to produce 1000volts If your house system is 230 voles you want a battery with over 130volts DC to invert from so back up to your Panels and stage them over the 150 volt supply to your batteries ... believe me they will take it. We do have Safety Devices: there's isolating switches between the panels and the regs and Lugs with butterfly nuts between the battery voltages and the inverter - and not a single fire [fried cat] in 23 years !!! If this system was on the ISS it would have failed 20 years ago but I Care!

Thanks many people would say you should do it the other way and never drill the mortar as it’s too weak to support a good fixing... in my opinion there are lots of factors to take into consideration and either way can be best depending on the situation.

Thank you for the video, subscribed. I went back to a job today where I had installed a Zappi with a Harvi and couldn’t get the MyEnergy app to show battery storage… I used EV ultra to Zappi and a separate CT clamp on the line conductor inside the solar panels DB board feeding into the Harvi. I wasn’t sure where the third CT clamp should go to get the info for the battery storage onto the app?

I've always heard them called as current transformers, I don't know about the Zappi ones but when I was an apprentice I was told no to let a current transformer to go open circuit as there could be thousands of volts present!!

@dg2908

The trouble with using basic water pump pliers, Mole grips, Stillsons or similar is that they have ridged jaws designed to hold round or odd shaped things, and they damage the soft brass of these glands. Adjustable spanners or something like Cory's "Knipex Pliers Wrench" (either way they need to be set to the correct size) have smooth parallel jaw faces and hold the nut squarely. Because I'm a cheapskate Northern spark I bought a value triple pack of noname adjustable spanners for less than a tenner over a decade ago and they are still fit for purpose on domestic jobs.

If it uses a simple coil of wire then it's a current transformer (most common for AC, but doesn't work on DC) if it uses a hall effect sensor (mostly used only for DC but can be used for AC) then it's a current transducer.

I’m just waiting for my Zappi to be installed and I have solar and battery, would I need extra CT clamps for charging from excess solar or is that just for information purposes?

Will take a guess and say no difference technically between a RCCB and RCD A RCCB is a type of RCD An RCCB is a RCD without overload protection An RCBO is a type of RCD used for seperate circuits which incorporates overload protection too. (Just started my electrician journey like a month ago so please correct me if I'm wrong😋👍😁)

Hi Cory & Jordan. If I've understood properlyy you have a 30mA RCD on the board inside the house supplying the outside metal board and a 30mA RCD in the Zappi. How do you achieve selectivity with two 30mA RCDs in series? Please correct me if I've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm not being an arse. I'm just trying to understand. I'm doing the EV charging course next month.

If I want to use one of Zappi for 3 phases, how could I manage my solar, battery and 3 phases from grid? Don’t I need five CT clamps?

How did you get the info from the solar install to tell myenergy how much solar is being created. I’m a bit stuck with it?

Subscribed because of jordans content, but i must admit corey does explain things an break them down better & show things in a different way which for me makes it easier to understand an grasp ( i am not qualified as of yet but working towards it) Thanks for you're contribution to helping me along

I have 1 CT clamp only and I couldn’t charge up my car as it was saying grid limitation on my zappi all the time, so I had to have none on my CT configuration in order for it to work, and I can’t connect up to my hub as well.

Just a bit of fyi... Polycarbonate (even twin wall like that) does NOT block UV. Grips like yours are fine for SWA glands. It's the rounded jaw type that are the issue. +1 for chiselling the corner off the bricks. Makes for a much neater install as well as safer.

Tip for young Oscar...don't remove the bedding from the cable before inserting it into the gland body. Score it but don't remove it until it's inside the the CU. Not too bad on the size of cable you used there but larger SWAs the insulation on the cores will be damaged pushing them thru the gland as they splay out once the bedding is removed.

Current transformers are iron core. a transformer (in this case) is a type of transducer. Modern current 'sensors' tend to be hall effect and are correctly termed current sensors. Tip. Ask the customer for a cup of boiling water from the kettle to put the boots (shrouds) in... often has the side effect of 'while the kettle's on...' Gonna give you crap about banjo on metal box tho. Just remove the paint from the box with a file. [go flamers]
