Brilliant install - when the Lambo badge popped up in the intro I thought you were renovating Matt Armstrong's new house ... now that would be an epic double-team!
The linking of the banjos is predominantly to maintain long term integrity and reliability of the the earthing of the cable armour. More of a best practice installation work rather than a specific regulation or there may be something within BS7430, would have to look that up though.
I think the banjo connection is required because steel enclosures have a tendency to rust especially where there might be capillary action between the gland and the enclosure creating conditions favorable to rust and high resistance. The paint is going to be damaged there, both by drilling and by tightening the gland so the steel will without doubt be vulnerable to corrosion. The gland and enclosure are also dissimilar metals that can cause galvanic corrosion that will tend to attack the steel more. Bonding the banjo to the enclosure should almost eliminate galvanic corrosion. Banjos are made from corrosion resistant metal, ideally the same metal as the gland.
doing professional work AND having fun while doing it! nice video, really enjoyed watching this =) oh yeah i almost forgot: Farm Solar Install Barn ( for the algorithm )
Great video. Solar cable should not be on metal. IET guidelines. Should be plastic. But great video. I did one lately in Ireland, on our own place, two supplies, two inverters, ground mounted, 80 metre runs, 7 fuse boards, batteries etc. on my own, would have loved some help.

What’s the plan for connecting the immersion diverter? usually the CT clamps/monitors go round the incoming mains and the AC solar to monitor what is required by the house and what is the solar PV generation. In the Sigenergy the PV is Dc coupled so no AC PV only cables , so just wondering how to connect the CTs?
I work with Telecom Lithium batteries and they have a 'must be charged by' date on them on the box, so they don't go beyond a certain self-discharge voltage whilst in storage. If it's been that long, you might need to consider somehow charging them.
Cool install Cory. Question, how does Inverter, MPPt and battery storage cost compare the Victron Inverters, with Multiplus ii 10 Or 15k per phase, (100A changeover switch built in/full UPS) RS450/200 MPPT and/or Fronius inverter with Fogstar 15.5KWh batteries BMS and heaters built in. The DC side is common and you can add up to 15 of those batteries for £2k each giving you 230KWh of battery storage. How much battery expansion in capacity terms do you have there?
The batteries are only 0.5C Charge/Discharge. Because every battery is a self contained unit with its own BMS you can add the battery capacities together and divide by 2 for the Charge/Discharge Rate. Those 2 x 8kw = 8kw Charge/Discharge. I wondered what size Inverters you had installed??
You bond all the swa’s up in the board to one another as you can get corrosion on the board, therefor loosing your earthing. Reason I was always told anyhow.
The three phases were joined inside the UPS as it was single phase capable too. He blew 2 isolator switches before realising. He tested everything so opened the ups and saw the phases were joined inside. Removed the bonding plate and resolved the issue.
My permission to post that video was revoked last minute by the company where I filmed it. I could have left it up, but I wouldn’t want to get the amazing gentleman who allowed me to film in trouble, it’s only allowed now as a members only video. Genuinely gutted, as it got 140k views in under 48 hours!
@@corymac Thanks for responding Cory. When you said what industry it was in, I was genuinely shocked that you were given permission. I once worked for a major defence supplier than rhymes with Jujitsu and there’s no way I’d be allowed to have a camera running in our secured office, let alone a client site.
@@samkeizer6654 Actually phase jumper were clearly visible throughout, he didn't read the installation manual with diagrams which clearly stated this.
i am always amazed at how the power iis delivered into the house in the uk, just a board with a fuse and a meter on it... btw, we use normally 300mA Rcd in such a case here but 100mA is a good solution too

Awesome installation by the team, and a great video, Cory!
Much appreciated!
Any ideas for titles?
@corymac my pun generator has failed me... uh oh...

Yea, eventually the bottom of the panel will rust away . Seen it a good few times.

LEGEND
It's always a good day when one gets to watch another episode of the Cory and Chester show😎
Welcome back dude!!
Nice videography. Always good when a Cory vid pops up
I appreciate that!
Great video Cory
You forgot the communication cable between the inverters and gateway!
I didn’t 😎👊
Thought you just ate a massive dollop of expanding foam haha
that isolator will be in the way of stacking more battery's up

Glad you enjoyed it!

I’ll take that! 😂
I think Cory and Lando Norris are separated at birth
Pity we didn't get to see the solar array on the roof.

Must have been filmed a while ago. The dates are out of date. Nice big job, is it on yet?
Still not on! 😔😔😔

Great work
Extra earth maybe because cabinets rust?
Hi. The Sigenry system looks great. Do you know if they can do a 3 phase
100Kwh battery stack.?
Pretty sure they can! Give triple solar a call, say Cory from ØY ELEC sent you!
Will do. Thanks for the quick reply. Great content. Keep it up.
i had some of that swa the inner sheath is like death and pvc on cores is about .5mm 70m 25mm swa i was fuming
Don't forget that discrimination has now been superseded by the term 'selectivity' section 536
they solved racism
What a bummer for the homeowner.
I know! The grid have been a nightmare on this

I wondered what size Inverters you had installed??
Correct 😃. They’re 2x 17kw inverters, how silly I forgot to mention that!
Which screwdrivers should i get, Wera or Klein Tools?
I’d do shrooms with Cory 😂

Makes sense, but still… on the inside of a domestic consumer unit, seems unnecessary
@ think it’s as commercial and industrial do it, best practice to keep in line as I’m sure it’ll be easier to stick by one thing.
Cory……….Deffo Phil Lynnot’s son, keep of the drugs lad 😂😂😂
I do currently have a moustache 🥸
that rs cosworth would and should be the only choice
Beautiful
hey bro nice video love it
Going by the cars I recon I know who’s house that is 🤣🙈
🤐😁
Richard Hammond ?
Last video deleted?
It had to be made members only. I lost the security clearance on it! Gutted, as it was my best EVER performing video.
Been there myself some god awful cables have been manufactured, been to the point of putting a hammer through walls.
It’s was like stripping Tupperware lid plastic off the copper
@@corymacthe absolute worst ever
If it still aint on its definitely a SSEN dno area 😂
I realised I never fully got through the last UPS video. I see that it has now been removed. What was it that happened and what was the outcome?

Typical rich people. All those lovely cars caked in dust.
At least you guys got to relieve them of some of their money.
It's very interesting .Can you share with me your business email for sponsorship collabration ?
More Farms turned into millionnaire playgrounds instead of producing food in the UK.

Really?! Are they all from one region?
and they come flying to the store! but hey, nobody want's to loose their comfort food so ...
that's why they taste so good
Get with the boycott brother.
Btw love the vids
2 secend
P'fect video again Cory, could it be your professional camera person, director, editor (your better 90% person 🤔😉)
She’s pretty good , taught her everything I know 😉😉
