** Note check your local Network requirements - In Qld a dedicated EV charging circuit, in a single phase install, should be installed on a controlled time of use tariff 33 or be placed on a 20 amp limited supply. **
I'd like to share my experience with my local installer in Israel, "Gnrgy". They also manufacture the charging points. The charger supports up to 3 phase 32 amps (22kwh) currently attached as single phase 32 amp with 7 kwh. The cable had to be routed on the parking lot fence around the building, over a neigbor's yard and into the building's main wall box. That was about 70 meters of cable. At the box they put a breaker and meter and I pay the maintenance company separately for that electricity. The down side is the charger has no user accessible controls at all, and any change has to be done through phoning the company. My brother bought an electric car (Geely geometry C) that supports 3 phase, so now I need to call them and get it connected and set up for that. The charger has been installed 2 years ago and works flawlessly so far, if a little sun bleached.
You mentioned there was a place online that could do up cables for the wattpilot eg 3 phase to single phase, 3 phase to 15A Caravan, 3 Phase to 10 normal 240v socket. Thank you
Hi Cassie, yes it's ElectroTraders, link is shown early in the video. There are others around but I have used these guys and always had good service and quality products. They can custom make leads if not listed on website, just email them for a quote. FYI - I don't have any agreement or receive any kickbacks from these guys, just happy to recommend as a satisfied Customer. 👍
@@ElectricCarAustralia I'm looking for the 10a basic home plug to 3 phase socket and 15a long earth plug to 3 phase.... Nothing comes up. That way it can be used in a motel and caravan park.
Hi Greg. Please upload video 3 with the testing of the charger and app. I'm close to ordering one but want to see how well it works on solar aware mode.
Hi Gary, thanks for your patience. I spend all weekend editing this video, got to the end and found the sound had dropped out so will have to re-record the last part sometime through the week then finish the editing. Hope to have live publicly by next Sunday evening. Patreon 'Passenger' and above, and Ko-Fi 'Guru' and above members will have access as soon as I finish it. Cheers Greg
Hi Justin, give them a call, explain what your using it for and how long you want the cable. They will then usually create a link to order that exact adapter. They advised there is so many different combinations it's difficult to have a product page to cover them all. Cheers.
You could have installed a 5 pin outlet, and only just power it for single phase. Then you don't need an adapter, it will still pick it up as a single phase socket.
Hi A, thanks for the comment. This has been suggested multiple times in other video comments however is illegal under Qld wiring rules. Please Subscribe to the Channel, I would love to have you join. Cheers.
Hi, I'm currently studying the Qld Wiring Rules as part of my apprenticeship and I think I missed that part, could you nominate the specific clause(s) that make it illegal?.

Luved the High Five! Looks like a very easy and relatively cheap install

A nicer solution would have been a second parallel single phase socket with a 5 pin outlet but using only single phase, so no jumper cable required.
Agree, but allowed under Qld wiring rules as mentioned in videos and show Notes.

Hi Gary, next Wattpilot video goes live Sunday 02/04/2023 @ 7.15pm AEST.
Hey Greg, I can't for the life of me find this 3-pin to 5-pin adapter cable on ElectroTraders. Have you got a link to the actual product page?

@@ElectricCarAustralia Thanks Greg! Will do.
Looks good.
Thanks for the comment.
Great video. What size circuit breaker did you get installed in your switchboard for the 32amp socket. 32 or 40 amp rcbo.
Thanks for watching and sorry for the slow reply...been crazy busy with EV Events up this way. 32 amp RCBO :)

@@nickdp5558 hi Dipper, you'll have to ask an Electrician. Three different Sparkys have told me this so I'm assuming it's correct.
Where can I get an adapter from single phase 3 pin (male) to 5 pin (female)?
Hi Alexander, thanks for watching and the question. Try www.electrotraders.com.au/. Cheers
Hi
Is BYD ATTO 3 single phase or 3?Please reply
Three phase 11 kW. Cheers
single
Where did you buy it from Greg ?
Charger or adapter lead?
@@ElectricCarAustralia both please .
@@MrHsv123 as mentioned in earlier Wattpilot video Fronius provided me the charger for R&D/review purposes. Adapter from ElectroTraders. Cheers 🔋☀️👍
Not many EV's can charge at 22kw AC these days. So could be a waste of effort.
No, a fair few at 11kW AC though so good for those guys, future progged me if I ever trade up the ZS EV :)
Take you long enough to lost this, haha.
Got mine done by Aaran as well.
Great stuff!
doesn’t even need an electrician to install it which is a plug type equipment. Doesn’t look great either.
Thanks for watching. Which charger do you use?
