    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. The Cat5e version is probably always going to be preferred with solar Zappi installations as there will be at least 2 CTs (one grid connection, one PV).

      @jam99 3 года назад

      @@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.

    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.

    Shouldn't the shield of the data cable be earthed on both sides for it to work? I'm sure it works fine like you did it as its only a CT but in data networks, especially when it comes to Cat. 7 10Gbps networks the cable shield is earthed at the patchpanel and at the device.

    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
      @petermichaelgreen 3 года назад

      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.

      @@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.
