Interesting to see the EU harmonised wiring colours here. Has Australia also adopted the EU standard on it's own, or was this something ordered by London before Brexit💩 occurred? 😇 What surprises me is that the phase (line) rail is placed so close to the earth, which could make dead-shorts easier if a cent or broken plug pin ended up inside the enclosure. Is my opinion the strip should've been designed to have the phase rail at the top (Where the neutral is in this vid) a reasonable one, or is such close placement to the Earth - Knowing it might cause an overcurrent trip while the user is at the other end of the flex plugging it in - Intentional? 🔌💥😇

Love your content Glen, keep it coming. Out of interest why have we always been told our power is 240v if it is actually 230v, is there a reason?

Thanks for your videos. I appreciate the effort going into creating them and enjoy learning from your knowledge :)

Piss it off mate and get an individually switched 4 outlet HPM RCBO.

Hi Glen, Always love your videos! Didn't even realised you had a little whoopsy! Who cares, We, your loyal regular followers all knew what you meant anyway.. Who cares!!! Keep up the great work! On a side note, you could see where that plastic bit came from on the earth pin, also looks like another isn't far behind joint its mate floating around..

Brown is Live/Active Blue is Neutral Green and Yellow is Earth/Ground

Hey Glen, Stay Positive, there's many out that are Negative, and some just plainly shouldn't be on this Earth !!!! 😆😎🤠

Good one glen i am sick of people knit picking you you do a great job thanks i still say positive and negative

I noticed the breadboard and box of components and my ears pricked up. Do you dabble in making electronic circuits? Would be cool to see a video if you do. Since moving of grid I've made a few circuits that have really helped "automate" the whole process. Mostly to do with water pumping and my wind turbine. Its really good fun, especially watching components go up in smoke when you do something wrong. Just harmless low voltage DC circuits of course 😮

it's live and neutral for AC circuits, not positive and negative (used in DC circuits)

It is always going to be hard discussing things that are high risk like AC voltages. Despite the risk electrical things are bought and used by everyone everywhere. Even DC stuff has risks hence a lot of new rules popping up for caravans and mobile homes with solar panels and lithium batteries. Which is why AC and DC fundamentals should be taught in schools.

Looks about the same as every power strip from various countries. The only substantial difference is the shape of the plastic holes for the outlets. I did open an old Swedish one recently. It was old, not grounded, and had only two outlets with no overcurrent protection but it was still just the same brass strips for hot and neutral.

Hay Glen your test work lol 😂 Not just with the power board but with the terminology 😮 Love your work May your views go viral And the Commercial TV and film companies snap you up and pay big bucks so you can retire couple of years earlier thanks Glenn cheers for now😊

i caught what you said in the last video but also knew you did not mean neg- and pos+. good job Glen

I did not want to seem knit picking, mate. I just work in a very heavily regulated industry (hospitals), and 230v electrical in Australia is just one of those areas where misinformation can't be tolerated

Thanks. I prefer the ones with individual switches

Active Neutral and Earth mate not Positive Negative and Earth

Active and Neutral Mate, not positive and negative. That's AC, not DC.

Another cheep battery(Dumfume), but notice the build on this one, almost everything the Kings is not. ruclips.net/video/U04cNNw9WA0/видео.html

Oh come on Glen, power Bar, power strip? What the he'll. It's a power board mate. Are you sure you're from here lol. Secondly, positive and negative inside your power bar? You of all people I watch on the tube should have been more on the ball here. It's Active and Neutral ffs big difference. Edit , I just realised your power board is NOT right. ACTIVE is on the left mate. Or should I say positive for you. ACTIVE ON THE LEFT.

i was devo with only one ciggy input, i do agree they should put a output fan for the DC charger, sometimes it smells funny while it's hot. Overall i'm happy Great review Sir

Always wanted to know what is in these things! Cheers 🍻

Good to know.

Lovely ep and tear down

Good one Glen, was good to see the plug not plugged in 😊. As we couldn’t tell at the start, the suspense! Of course your regulars would have assumed it wasn’t plugged in ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Only thing regarding the kings inverter posts, it enables you too draw too many amps to the inverter and will burn up the bms inside the battery. The 175 amp will power a 2000w inverter so it's plenty.

something that intrests me are the hybrid upright freezers which can also be a fridge , super thick insulation and use very little power, and IF theres power issues it holds temperature for AGES due to very thick insulation, all white goods sellers now sell them

i think yourv120amp battery was nicer.

I know this video was posted Q1 of 2025, But did mention when the battery was purchased? Or if theres a build date batch number code somewhere? I ask as the last video teardown I watched of a Adventure Kings Outdoor Gear brand 12 Volt 120 Ah Lithium battery it looked like someone had taken an angle grinder to each of the 4 cells QR codes making tracking technical specifications impossible

It would be really interesting to see the voltage ripple with an oscilloscope. I’m not sure if those buck converters would have enough filtering for a laptop. Just saying be careful, wouldn’t want to brick laptop trying to save a little bit of efficiency. Maybe someone with more knowledge might be able to chip in.

Yes my body clock is the same as yours, I wake up with the birds and the light. USB C should just about be standard now on all devices, but I notice many new laptops still don't have it...frustrating !!!

Are you an owner operator ?

I like using my Ozito drill batteries for 19V stuff but those converters make it easy to do also.

Another Excellent Video keep them coming thanks

Nice Glen, can you post the link to the buck converter please.

good job Glen

the algorithim is smart it recomends projects and paradise to me all the time

so mppts are kinda gutless in converting up voltage

how much excess power do you have in summer? you might be able to run a small spit system / window unit AC with all the solar during the day, and at the same time capture some water out of the air from it. you can use the water to fill the tank during the day, and run the evap during the night with all the water you got during the day.

No balancer?

Good fridge but the doors warp and won't close after 12 months.

Are they waterproof

What is the idle draw on that low frequency inverter

the supply charge is way more than water usage charge for me. id just use the scheme water in summer im approx 200km east , the northam bunnings is too small and limited but you can order stuff in atleast

Thanks for the video!

Even with an accumulator tank by it self, the pump will still cycle. Had the same issue, changed over from torrium switches to standard 30/60 pressure switches + accumulator tank is the only way to stop cycling.

How much was your supply charge and how much was it to get the meter fitted

A lot of what I do is on rooves and in roof cavities, sweat in your eyes is no joke... soldier on.....👍

What about Off grid Home Biogas toilet???? Free cooking gas :)

Thanks for the video, i recently got the itechworld box over christmas in a bare setup (no dcdc etc) for $200 delivered. Im very curious on what shunt setup and display ypu are running as i was going to run a 50a renogy dcdc with Bluetooth monitoring. Any advice you could throw my way would be great
