PV systems in the Netherlands are protectes with B characteristic mcb's or gG fuses. But never with C characteristic brekaers because of the high trip current.
Agree 100% that the PVUltra cable is awesome. I managed to get a sample reel off Dan at Doncaster Cables last summer before it even launched for adding two strings on a new roof at home and it made the work go so quick and it looks great too.
Here in France it is prohibited to wire a string in such a way that it forms a circle or a loop. That can create an attraction for the lightning. Personaly I think that a metal roof in your case is already a good attraction to loghtning so shoud not be the problem but rules are rules. It is the same thing with grounding cable - shoud not make a loop in relation with string cables. So technically first way you showed would comply with our regulations, but the second does not.
I doubt it's because some "attraction for the lightning". Most likely it's to reduce loop area (it will always be a loop, just in some scenarios the loop will be very thin if the live and ground cables are run next to each other) to reduce induced currents in case of nearby lightning strikes.
Very nice install Cory. But, is a ground cable not required in the UK? In Holland we need to ground all panels, frames and micro inverters. Even though the micro inverters are isolated.
Solar Edge recommends against DC isolation on their system, as it’s built into the inverter and adds an additional point of failure. Additionally it’s worth check the latest updates on this regardless of solar edge, Efixx did a good video about it. Re bomding the panels, the solar edge has short circuit monitoring / leakage etc built in. They’re also screwed into a metal building attached to the ground.
Watching the video, but was just enquiring what make of panels you are using now? Thanks in advance. My panels got damaged recently and I don’t want the unethical panels on my roof. Cheers
Thanks for the reply, did see the product name on the box eventually. Brilliant content young man, and superb electrical work as well! Keep up the great work. 👍👍
We are not allowed to have the DC + AND - in the same conduit... cant even be next to eachother in the cable tray... or is that a Dutch regulations thing only??
Hey mate, Here the rules for the segregation of AC and DC cables are outlined in Section 528 of our book ( BS7671 ). Here are some key points: 1. **Physical Separation:** It is generally recommended to physically separate AC and DC cables by using separate cable trays, ducts, or enclosures. This helps prevent electromagnetic interference and reduces the risk of safety issues. 2. **Barriers and Distances:** If complete physical separation is not practical, the standard suggests the use of barriers or maintaining specific distances between AC and DC cables to minimize interference. 3. **Insulation and Shielding:** The use of insulation and shielding methods is encouraged to further reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference between AC and DC circuits. In this scenario as it was a
May be a daft question, but doesn’t wiring your strings from panel to panel in a circular motion cause an induction loop? I’m sure my on my solar he mentioned that it does. Anyway good video pal!
@@corymac I was thinking the same thing, how else can it be done haha. Just wondered if the tutor was speaking actual facts, as we all know the difference between a classroom and a site is totally different!
I guess in theory if you made a perfect loop it could, but I’ve done induction loops before for hearing aids etc, and I can tell you, it wouldn’t work with aluminum and how we’ve done it on a roof. It needs a ferromagnetic material at the least 😁. The currents and layout wouldn’t be ideal enough conditions in my opinion
Hi mate, You sized the AC supply circuit to inverter at 16aml 3phase. Sizing of AC element of the inverter was 12kw. Is that 3phase load 12kw total so 4 per phase or 12kw per phase. I’m assuming 4 per phase. If so is all 3phase loads worked out like this or is the inverter different.
To be clear my question was born out of curiosity and the want to understand not to second guess.. With the panels connected I’m sure the calculation was based on output of arrays at an average output taken into account. The inverter CAN output 12kw doesn’t mean it will. And if the array has been considered properly I’m sure it’s been taken into account it won’t push out that amount exactly
You get some good jobs feller..ask them to put a white string inside every cable so stripping inner is so much easier ,,,had some nasty multi core cable’s lately..😢
As someone who lives 2 minutes from here. Be very very careful with your tools round there. Travellers camp is 30 seconds round the corner and they are known for stealing anything not stuck to the floor
hmm, i really want to understand why you put an optimizer under each panel on such an pv installation, what are the benefits? they are all in the same direction and angle and all are not in any kind of shadow. here in germany we have these things to but i learned that you use them only when you have strings with shadow on some of the panels so the don´t pull down the power from the string or when you have a string with panels in different directions so that you can have the maximum power from the panels. in my mind putting them on such an pv array like here is a bit of waste of money since they don´t really do a thing on such an configuration, or do they bring other benefits? would be nice if you could do a video about them since i´ve seen it in some videos now that you over in the uk seem to always put them on a installation
The other benefits are mainly safety related, you’re never working on high voltages, and in the scenarios of various DC faults, the switch themselves off and notify me exactly where the problem lies.
@@corymac I used to work in the Lincoln branch, but sometimes on rush orders I had to go and collect the cables ourselves instead of having them delivered. This was in 2003, though in a Mercedes sprinter.
The 3ph solar edge include internal DC and AC protective devices, including SPD. Also, following recent insurance, industry, and MCS advisory, superfluous DC isolators should be avoided where already present on the inverter.
What happens to the strings if the inverter goes faulty? Surely then you have no isolation outside of the inverter? Not ripping your work just curious. 🧐
The optimisers fail to 1v per panel. So in the event of a fault where the inverter failed, the peak voltage on the system would be a grand total of 20 VDC
Well done for changing suppliers. Wish more people would pay attention to this stuff. Can you name and shame? Also share the name of the more ethical ones you use now?
We’re UP NORTH today! come on it’s only Donny only just in Yorkshire not exactly that far north. I assume the customer is supplying the cable for the job 😂 your going to need a bigger circuit breaker for that 12kw I recon else you will be coming back “up north again” oh and they are defo roofing bolts only southerners try and tighten them with a screwdriver the rest of us nip them up with a spanner
It's mind boggling the lack of uptake of PV on industrial buildings. The hardware for that job is what £5k plus the same in labour. That system is probably cost neutral in about 2 years, from then on its saving money.
Hi, maybe when they realise it’s an easy win for reducing their carbon footprint and all that, they will do it. Breaking even in 2. Years should do it but why has it taken so long? It’s the best, way use it share you generate it. Take care M.
I thought that optimisers were only necessary when there's going to be shading problems. It appears that there's no chance of shading of that roof, or am I missing something?
Correct.........but optimisers also allow monitoring of panels on an individual level, which can be beneficial on larger arrays to identify any failed / poor performing panels.
@@BROOMEngineeringTMIET Agreed but I'm not sure if that's worth all that extra investment, combined with the additional chances of failures. I'm guessing that in that location there's going to be hardly any difference between these panels. If one fails, or drops off, it will immediately show up in their overall performance.
@@simonpaine2347 I would probably agree - depends how good the sales person is, and the knowledge level of the customer. I believe the optimiser also helps mitigate some fire risk because it's then doesn't have the rest of the panels in the string passing power through a failed / failing panel. But then the optimiser and additional connections arguably added a level of risk.
It’s additional monitoring, slight efficiency gains, safety, and I enjoy the level of detail I get in the solar edge portal, along with the great customer service.
Wow, those Tim Tams really didn’t travel too well, looks like they've melted and re-solidified. Sure they tasted alright but nowhere near as good as fresh!
DC isolators? No longer required, and actively discouraged when isolator is built into inverter, not to mention this is solar edge so will drop to 1v per panel in fault / grid outage etc
The 3ph solar edge include internal dc and ac protective devices including SPD. Also, following recent insurance industry and MCS advisory, superfluous DC isolators should be avoided where already present on the inverter.
On the Van theft. Contact crime stoppers. Give details of the van and description of person. Tell them they looked to be selling drugs to young children.

Other thing we tend to do over here is also install a bonding cable to the array. not sure if that is a legal requirement in the UK. Oh and we have to run all of our solar cable in conduit or covered trays no exceptions and labeled solar

Will a 12kw inverter distribute 12kw across each the 3phase evenly or 12kw per phase
12kW split between all phases. The number represent the amount of PV power it can invert.
I work on the railway and the cables we use have meter markings on them. Is that the same for the cable you use
Great job. How do you size the ac cable off that 16a breaker is it normal rules?
Why do you use optimizers on an unshaded flat roof?
Where on their website do they sell those off-cut cables mentioned at 18:03 ?

I was going to ask the same question, surely it would have been better mounting it inside out the way? That tray work could have been inside then?
I wondered if there was a requirement so firebrigade could isolate without entering the building
The panels should drop to 1v per panel in the event of fire / system failure ( optimised )
If the threading goes all the way up the shaft it's a screw. If there's a smooth bit it's a bolt.
A bolt is threaded for "twice its diameter" - yes, you are right.
