Re: Armoured cable for DC
Here are the actual figures from the BS standard for SWA… https://i.postimg.cc/hXMDJN83/IMG-1440.jpg The maximum permitted DC volts between conductors is 1800 Vdc I’ve worked with plenty of SWA, larger stuff generally and some of the inner insulation is so thin it’s translucent but it all states to ...

Re: BEV charger questions
Highly likely you would have no problem and be very happy but it is worth considering when choosing I think. Look forward to hearing what you decide.

Re: BEV charger questions
Lots of positives about the Zappi but ‘reliable’ they are not, join the EV installer page if you don’t believe me, you will see they are far from reliable. I’m yet to get one fitted so the installers offer a good insight, many of them installing several a week so a much better representation of the...

Re: New ground array
Yeah I found this doc which shows the reduction in current for 2 strings. The current will be 13ish max so with the labels generating about 300ishV, should be fine. It was already wired with just a single break in the cables by the official electricians when they installed it year and half ago and ...

Re: New ground array
Have you got the manufactures instructions for that isolator? I would just double check as often they are required to break one leg more than once.

Re: Volt Typhoon: the ‘defining threat of our generation’
I use solar assistant on my growatt, works much more reliably than the stick did, simple guide online worked perfectly, recommended.

Re: Help with crimping battery cables
Just use the next dies down, you may end up with wings, you can file or hammer these flat easy enough. I have done this for a living and it was common practice, shouldn’t be, but was. You cannot really blame the crimper, the dies should ideally be same brand as lugs but also some cable comes up smal...
