Hey Jordan, I am interested in becoming an EV Charger installer. I just got an MG ZS EV and very impressed with it. I understand the requirements for earth rods and the technology within the Zappi's that reduce the likelyhood of car becoming live and someone getting a nasty shock should the incoming neutral conductor failing from the electricity provider. However, alot of these cars are supplied with "Granny Leads" ie 3KW chargers that plug into a standard 3pin socket (internal or external). Obviously this is a serious concern should a PEN fault occur.... Appreciate any comments you have on this type of charging solution....

Thanks for the video; good stuff. EV-Ultra is available with one twisted pair or full 4-pair Cat5e. The Cat5e version could have been used here to avoid the Harvi.

@@damiankimmins3880 EV-Ultra contains 1 x twisted pair data or 4 x twisted pair data (depending on type) alongside the mains cable. It is like running a data cable alongside the SWA but all within the armour so much neater. One twisted pair can be used per CT clamp to Zappi. So, as long as you can physically run all CT clamps (minimum one) to the EV-Ultra cable then, yes, you do not need the Harvi. The Harvi allows a wireless connection between a CT clamp and the Zappi and the Harvi does not need a power supply as it cleverly harvests power via the CT clamp (not sure how a loss of signal is distinguished from no power flow or whether that matters). The minimum one CT clamp is around the main incomer to the house so the Zappi can monitor/limit total house consumption should it ever go above whatever has been set e.g. 60A. More CT clamps can be used if you have solar generation, immersion heater solar diverter or battery storage, for example. I think the Zappi has a maximum of 3 wired CT clamp connections (probably more via Harvis, and I think each Harvi might accept 2 x CT clamps) but check any of that if you need to. I can get away with using a granny charger for now. Car is home most of the day, I have solar and do not use car much. No way would solar intelligence or low night rate (high standing charge) pay back a £1900 install from Artisan (excl OLEV) or even £1300 quote from cheapest local OLEV registered - prices will likely come down with time. I just switch on when sunny or when I need to. I consider the chances of a PEN disconnect to be minimal and have what is supposed to be TNS anyway; I usually turn off my main breaker when there is a power cut and occasionally look out the window to see if anybody else has power back on yet before flipping it back on. I regularly check how warm the plug is getting. Should do me.

Check incoming fuse and incoming tail thickness for house. Loads of regs related to manner of install (e.g. height, wiring regs). Any new circuit or distribution board messing about needs testing, sign off by electrician or notifiable body, and the only sensible thing to do is a new circuit up stream of any RCDs in distribution board. It is all quite involved so be sure to do your homework.

Those are smart wee boxes, I had no idea they could monitor the current on the mains and ramp down if that was getting close to blowing the main fuse, cool feature! Not sure why the customer went with a cable attached version, it limits the kinds of cars you can charge, as some cars like the leaf will use the US style type 1 connector and you're stuffed if you (or the future owners) want to charge one of them instead of a European car.

So I noticed a lot of "C" breakers. Those valid in that install? With a much higher trip current than the "B"' breakers, I thought that they have specialized uses only and typically in residential 99% would be B's.

@petermichaelgreen

3 жыл бұрын

MCBs are hybrid devices, they have a thermal component which is designed to trip slowly on overloads and a magnetic component which is designed to trip very quickly on high current faults (i.e. short circuits). The letters specify the characteristics of the magnetic trip. For a B breaker it requires a 5x overcurrent to gaurantee triggering of the magnetic trip, for a C breaker it requires a 10x overcurrent to gaurantee triggering of the magnetic trip. Whether a "C" breaker is acceptable on a given circuit depends on whether the Zs value for the circuit is low enough to fast trip the breaker in the event of a short.

Did you think of putting the large supply MCB for the car charging on the right of the CU as the left hand end means you have the largest load on end of the bus bars. Or have I missed something.

@@jordankidd8789 but really aren't you concern that if they put stuff on the wall and they might rest it on the wire and destroy the wire? like i said before if they have a dog it might chew on the wire or kids playing around that area with low power wire.practically exposed? You just restricted that area for the home owner by not planning ure installation well and latterly cutting corners and trying to save a few bucks.. And here in the United States we have codes for a reason is call the National Electric Code, and that installation like I said b4 it would for no hell would pass installation...I mean that's just my observation and criticism hope you don't get offend it my friend...cheers.!

@@torodaman In the UK using armoured cable absolves you of many of the regulations related to other types of cables, the armour means that it will normally fail in a way that is safe to the user if exposed to damaging levels of stress, and of course the armour makes it a very tough cable. I suspect you are thinking about the problem from the perspective of typical USA homes, a typical British home is very different in its construction and running cables internal to the walls is rarely possible without significant work. Dogs won't chew on armoured cables and kids aren't going to damage the cable either, flex's inside the home offer far more risks.

​@@torodaman Different countries have different regulations written by people who thought different things were important and/or were influenced by different special interest groups. The people required to work under those regulations then start to internalize them as if they were universal truths. There are things about American electrics that would make British electricians cringe and things about British electrics that would make American electricians cringe.
