When I had a Zappi installed, as householder, I ran an Ethernet cable to the point where the Zappi would be installed. Hard wired is ALWAYS way more reliable!

Couldn't listen anymore folks, your audio was too blown out.

Aren't you supposed to mount a fused separator between the soler panels and the SPD so that in case of a overcurent the SPD blows the fuse and stops the flow of current?

Really interesting. Thanks!

Too many batteries becomes the law of diminishing returns... Its all about how much amperage your inverter and battery can out put in a given time. Take LVL byd batteries thery can take a 400amp charge ! And you can get a victron setup to match that charge rate. Means you can ram enough power in during low night rates. Also if you use telsa ppwer.walls innoff grid mode...in small print it invalidates the warrenty i wqs told by anotjer battery manufacturer..not.cjexk to see thats true.😮 Been there had the install t shirt😂

that has to be intentional

The only artisan electrics I’m seeing is in this house! 😂

hate it or love it mate, you got no right to complain because you could easily be doing new commercial installs but you choose to do fault finding in old homes. You're like a smoker complaining about lung cancer. You reap what you sow.

full ring final circuit. No surprise there. If it were up to me, I'd condemn every single house in uk with that crap, no exceptions.

you did the right thing by not accepting money. 100%. Don't be liable. Rewire the whole thing, do it by the code, legally. Stop joking around with electricity, people die, house fires, people don't take electrics seriously.

-3000 pounds rewire -"that's not something we can do" oh well I guess we're just allowing people to have a house that can kill people then. So when can I grab my gun and start shooting around irresponsibly just because "sorry I'm too poor"? What if these idiots allowed a tennant to live there? What if this house is right next to another house, and it catches fire? What if they have guests over and they get an electric shock? What if they have a child? I guess "not dying" is off the table when you don't have the money. They certainly seemed to have the money for all that other junk they've been hoarding over the years.

love the screw through extension lead to hang it on the wall.

excuse me while I call bullshit on the "it's been working for 20 years" argument.

what's more dangerous? This man's house or berlin in 1945?

I use Home assistant alongside my GivEnergy system the main addons are GivTCP to bring the GivEnergy data and control into home assistant and Predbat which does all the battery prediction work outlined in this video.

Mabe need to place mirror behind the panel?

Interesting how a plug works mine broke plugs don't go in fully. I've got a electrician coming out as not my house. Private rent but paying for it myself as can't be bothered with contacting estate agent prob end up taking two months. Can't use my TV

£20k - £50k, you’re ‘avin’ a giraffe!

dont tell them where the breaker is and make more profit being called out next time, anyone know regulation or legislation such as HSAW against this ?

wy not put some strip of pink fabric or something that you can see where exactly it is you are fault finding from cupboard to cupcoard and flooring to ceiling.

21:27 thats what she saidddddddddd

not on my chinny chin CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNchinnn

I'm a spark but don't know enough about solar to install it - thinking of doing a solar course got sparks. What do you think of the American Market of people doing DIY solar themselves?? There are a few videos online and know someone who had done a solar set up but wants me to check it out, which I'm very uncomfortable doing?

Microinverters are great - probably the best method of power conversation - but Enphase has power output limitations (see below) compared to other microinverters. So even if you are using bifacial panels, your limiting factor is the microinverter! Please try and be clear and transparent with your viewers. IQ8MC: 325W max AC output IQ8AC: 360W max AC output IQ8HC: 380W max AC output For example, if using IQ8MC microinverters with 435W solar panels, the max AC output would be limited to 325W per panel, even though the panel is rated higher!

Wow Very clever guy This sounds great and the future

*unplugs toaster* "THE VOLTAGE IS NOW OVER 9000!!!!"

5+5+5 = 15!! who knew?

Was hoping it switched the onsite kettle on ...😂

"Is it elephant dung in the CU?".... Rueben replies........ it must have been a very small elephant! Wonderful humour.

Unfortunately some extension leads do get hot...why? Cheap extension leads Resistive loads like fan heaters will get the cable warm. Alot of people forgetting the old extension reel not fully unwound and gettting dangerously hot. That is not about over load sure you have 13amps but most outlets dint like being run at 13amps for long period of time...dont belive me? Try plugging in a fan heater or cooker into a plug socket. Over time the pins of the 13amp plug get very hot and start to make the outlet go brown and start to burn. This video in my mind is more about heat dissipation.... Yes sure some modern extension reels have a thermal trip out ....but some dont and if its still coiled up will potentially cause a fire!

Such a massive house! In London that would be in 2-3 millon territory at least.

@artisanelectrics as a newbie I cannot tell you how useful I’m finding your videos. Can I ask why you chose to use a wago box rather than wiring the 3 core into the boiler? Presumably because of your “not a heating engineer” comment?

Just a quick note, the stabs in and out on the shot are quite distracting and throw my concentration away from what you are saying. Maybe don't follow the herd? Otherwise perfect as usual !

Be careful. Extra careful.

Thanks to Tom will try have look at HS

My plan B would have been to disconnect the earth and use it as a draw wire and pulled a new draw wire in with it

I know you follow rules that is existing but do you check that each solar and battery system have a smoke alarm DIRECTLY above the system and also fireproof board above the units in the ceiling? Yes i know solar edge cuts power when it looses connection with the inverter or it sees an arc fault but still good to go beyond the code for fire resistance. I also have an failed solar edge inverter that absolutely had a large flame and explosive short circuit innside it but it was far from spreading to anything else as the cabinet itself never melted, only the circuit boards before the panels shut down I have solar edge system in my home and concider to have battery backup some day, and thinking making a totally fireproof cabinet for the whole system that in case of fire closes innside ventilation and have a 100mm pressure releif steel pipe to the outside so in case of complete meltdown it will just spit out all flame and smoke to the outside. I want the inverter and battery innside because of all inefficiency heating to go innside my home and for it to never see moisture but have the safety of an outdoor mount 😅 never expect that to be done by anyone else 😂
