Really enjoying your videos lads. I like how you’re very clued up and put thought into your installs (RCD for the cable, upgrading the board with SPD) but still have a good laugh when carrying out the install. Top work.
Thanks Gary 👏🏼 appreciate that, because I genuinely do take a lot of thoughts and planning about what I’m doing before hand, and try my best to get it as neat as possible and follow the regs etc. but when it comes to the videos I just try and have a bit of a laugh and joke and make it seem like not much effort has gone into the prep and planning, when in reality it has ! So thanks 👏🏼
Next thing you know Hilti will be sending you loads of tools and you'll be releasing pop songs and don't forget to defrost your van windscreen with your hands
The cable cost for that is absolutely savage mate! Nice install bud. Those chargers give you a nice bit of room to work with, have had some that have about the same room as an up and down wall light behind 🤦🏻♂️🤣 You’re correct putting the type A RCD in anyway as the cable will require RCD protection at source. The EV ultra is so much nicer to work with and easier than having to run another data cable. I usually use two pairs say the greens for one and browns or whatever just so it fits the terminal better but that’s personal preference. Nice one for leaving the slack have had to change one and the previous installer left absolutely nothing on it was a right pain!
Nice tidy job. We would still have slipped a little yellow warning tape over the cable regardless of the depth. I chuckled at the tongue in cheek comment about being the first on YT to install a zappi. Glad the heavens didnt open up on you when working.
That armoured cable is a savage price at the minute , I cheaped out and went with steel conduit for a small job . Another great video Max , paddy didn't have many lines 🤣 have a great Saturday lads .
Very tidy job as always Sean very neat. Ultra ev cable I got was just over 9 quid a metre at "no" electrical but was a pain to strip as it didn't have enough French chalk in it. I guess regulation 528.1 doesn't count with the cat 5 being screened within the cable. Just one thing I would say if you do another one of these can you video how you fitted the current transformer inside the cu so other sparks know. Nice touch with the bootlace ferrules and heat shrink well impressed 👍😁
Cheers mate, yea will show next time. One thing I did mean to mention in this video but forgot was, to connect the CT to the cat5 you shouldn’t use wagos. Almost anything but wagos according to manufacturers instructions they’re not suitable
That's a good point about wagos I don't know if it's because cat 5 can snap in them and cause the ct to become open circuit which in turn could cause arcing and possible fire risk or they haven't approval, I'm not a big fan of wagos and only use them on lighting circuits. We used din rail terminals and like you boot lace ferrules as it was a tidier job. That ultra ev cable could be useful if someone wants power and Ethernet in a summer house the only thing is it would probably have to be terminated in an enclosure and separated for band 1/2 separation which could be a pain plus the stuff is too expensive to strip down. Maybe as time moves on the stuff will become cheaper
Also the blower use it to clean out your pockets after work! All that crap that falls in them from drilling joist, chasing etc. Cleans it out a good’en and stops it all getting in the washing machine. Lad I worked with showed me it on Friday 🤣
@@JayTheSparky it’s used in the next video as well, in fact I think I’ve used it on 90% of jobs since I bought it now. Didn’t realise I’d use it so often tbh
@@tcpnetworks 100% should’ve been armoured cable or protection should be provided when burying cables, personally I’d use “armoured EV ultra” and gland and connect to earth at EV end if it’s impossible to gland at consumer unit.
IMHO, the Zappi is the worse charger I've ever had the misfortune of using; I've experienced so many connectivity issues that it's beyond belief... Awesome vid, btw...
Really! from everything I’ve installed I’ve always found it to be the best one for connectivity, although I don’t use one personally so I’ll have to take your word for it I suppose. Thanks for watching matey
Just had the same zappi installed but the installer keeps getting the #25 fault PE Fault. Checked the earth and the readings all is good. Any ideas what else it could be
If the installer has tested and there’s no issues with the supply earth. Then best to just ring Myenergi, could be something within the zappi settings of even just a faulty unit. They’ll know best. They’re pretty good on the phone with help too.
7:43 brrrr i never strip a cable like that anymore .. so dangerous .. UK electricians don't have a Jokari cable knife in their toolbag ? I have one since school in the 90's ( age 16 lol ) .
@@Cablesmith We don't have twin-eartt flat cable ( easy to strip it seems ).. all round cables .. for light/sockes .. so if you need to strip 10-30 a day ... i've seen many cut their hand or fingers .. or cut the isolation .. also lot's of LOSH cables here .. pain in the ####

Cat 5 cable going through consumer unit? Should you not have drilled below the CU and split power and data before going into CU with the power side of the cable?
This is suppose to clamp around the meter tail outwith the consumer unit, between the meter and the consumer unit so that the cat 5 cable is not inside the consumer unit
@@brianwallace1692 I agree but it wasn’t possible on this particular job. The only reason for it not being inside the CU is because cat5 isn’t rated for that voltage, chances of it becoming live are extremely slim, it’s heat shrinked to the very end etc. be nice to put it elsewhere but just wasn’t viable
RCD protection still needed to be provided at the source of the circuit. You did the correct installation.👍
Thank you 😊
EV Ultra, 6mm2, SWA - 20m at £190.00 !!!

Haha thanks mate
You are hard working guy.. keep doing great work..
Thank you
best ev install yet on yt ,no flaffing about job done 🤔👍
🙌🏻 thanks Joe
Another top video lads 👍🏼
Cheers sam
Bit of Christy Moore. 🎶 🎵 🤣🤣 Dont forget your shovel
Very informative video love it good quality workmanship. You have given me the confidence to install my first zappi charger next week.
Thank you mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice job, love the Zappi it’s perfect for solar.
Cheers mate 😀 yep defo the best for solar integration
You missed out all the most important parts! Always makes me think you're cowboys when you.... 'yeah we done that off camera' etc etc 😂😂
Hahaha what part was that? It’s not easy to remember getting the camera out when your just trying to get the job done is the reason
Another empowering video from the hostess with the mostest! lol

Great video, I want to ask. Do the new Zappi chargers come with smart load management? To do away with the EV ultra and CT clamps? Thanks
I’m not sure mate, this wasn’t the latest one. The new one doesn’t need a hub I know that much.
@@Cablesmith Thanks mate
In Aus here - we would have to drop 500mm down to go under the pavers. That or use SWA - which would be fun getting around the corner.
I’d have also liked finish SWA too but there would be no way to gland it into the consumer unit on this job
@@Cablesmith I hear you... It's a PITA.
@@tcpnetworks 100% should’ve been armoured cable or protection should be provided when burying cables, personally I’d use “armoured EV ultra” and gland and connect to earth at EV end if it’s impossible to gland at consumer unit.

I beg to differ, artisan electrics were the first to install a zappi
Not sure who’s been spreading these lies
