Do you know how SMALL a Tesla powerwall or car battery is? I have 900AH at 24 volts - I would need 2 Tesla Powerwall = 1100AH at 12 volts so 650ah at 24 volts and mine fucken works and it's worked for 20 plus years with the growing pains limitations of 24 volts. Every single panel has it's very own "2x 3Flex HD powerpoint leads" for both Pos-Neg and they take the most direct route from the panels to the Regulators - back to the 900AH batteries and to the 24vInverter - *Here's my 25 year Hint if you want it it's Free. Gang All your Panels together to the Max and make that just above your battery bank voltage - Example if your panels can be incorporated in a 300dcv system run your battery bank as a 250 volt system - the reg is to take out the imbalance and a Reg costs power so ... "If your house runs on 250volts - you need a 270volt battery to eliminate the size of your reg and inverter. This is all about how much power you use and if you've moved from National Grid to Solar ... Welcome to the real world of Cloud Cover ... Every Time you Change Voltage it costs you power so if you are building on a Solar system and your house runs on 110 or 230 volts - link your panels to the highest voltage they can and batteries the same because inverters are expensive on power. Don't get stuck on a 24v system - 48 volt is double the economy and 96volt system double that - go for a battery bank of around 100 volts - 24v is expensive so get Really Close to your AC voltage in the battery - As High AS Your Panels Can Handle and Run - Go 96 volts you can always come down you can't go Up.* Then there's the Air Cables between 20 and 30 pairs all completely supported by AIR Clamps on both the outside of an iron wall and the inside with the belief that people like cats aren't going to fight in the loose mangle of domestic 3 flex cables all acting like a single wire. A Photo of the Air- Suspension traveling past all that sharp iron wall would drive the belief of a god into a viewer but in 23 years no rat has caused a short because we have cats. so @artisanelectrics leaving all your cables as 'open air suspended' with full cat access has Worked so far - Photos of the cables, and cats are available - I left the world in 1999 - it's now ... 2023 and I'm on my second New batteries. Low voltage systems aren't worth pussying around with !!! Most Panels will chain to produce 1000volts If your house system is 230 voles you want a battery with over 130volts DC to invert from so back up to your Panels and stage them over the 150 volt supply to your batteries ... believe me they will take it. We do have Safety Devices: there's isolating switches between the panels and the regs and Lugs with butterfly nuts between the battery voltages and the inverter - and not a single fire [fried cat] in 23 years !!! If this system was on the ISS it would have failed 20 years ago but I Care!
Pedagogy is a term that refers to the method of how teachers teach, in theory and in practice. Pedagogy is formed by an educator's teaching beliefs and concerns the interplay between culture and different ways to learn. ... Pedagogy refers to the study of teaching approaches and how they affect learners.

DWA = double wire armour and SWA = single wire armour , I know this will upset many people but I was in the cable industry and that was how we defined cables when testing
Quality install lads. Cory, I believe people are here to see you now? You'll have your own Podcast soon. Thing is, I can't work out who you work for Artisan or myenergi ? You certainly know your stuff. Oscar, has Jordan been giving you a Lockdown hair cut in the back of the van?
cory, pro vlog presenter/producer (excellent and amusing start!), excellent sparky, damn im even learning stuff! and oscar, wow! just getting better and better! the dynamic duo are the best team! now add a 4th sparky and you definitely have... the A Team!!! (if you have electrics that need doing and nobody else is up to it... call the artisan team!)
love your content and the way you are with the apprentices as my son is 18yrs and great to see a tradesman being so good with the boys ..the future for sure
Seriously: Why does every video have to end up in a commenter's battle on "Jordan vs. Cory"? I assume, they all are a great team, otherwise they wouldn't work together... Jesus... Both great electricians, great youtubers, producing great videos!
I agree with Cory, I also find the smaller the SWA the more awkward to gland. But I’ve never heard of boot, always call them a shroud. Must be a location thing.
Finally, you are the first person that I have seen actually notice that the Zappi plays the Final Fantasy music... it may have been a slight deciding factor in why there is one on the wall of my house
Great video, love the zoolander reference 😂. One tip I was taught as an apprentice was to drill fixings into the mortar lines rather than the brickwork so you don't chip it and if you need to move any clips or the cable it's easier to repair the motar lines 👍
Thanks many people would say you should do it the other way and never drill the mortar as it’s too weak to support a good fixing... in my opinion there are lots of factors to take into consideration and either way can be best depending on the situation.
Great video gents. The apprentice will get great training from both Cory and Jordan. Really great content this last 6 months. Keep them coming lads Us spark's can't get enough of this stuff
Thanks! I've now got a bloody children's TV theme stuck in my head!!! (More entertaining than blurring things out..🤣🦍🐆🦝🦓🦏🐘🦒🐫) Great video though, interesting and educational too... Cory, when you get sick of working on the tools, you definitely have a career in education calling you.
Loving the content of all these videos if I ever have any big work done on the house I would happily pay these guys to come to Scotland for a few days work.
The trouble with using basic water pump pliers, Mole grips, Stillsons or similar is that they have ridged jaws designed to hold round or odd shaped things, and they damage the soft brass of these glands. Adjustable spanners or something like Cory's "Knipex Pliers Wrench" (either way they need to be set to the correct size) have smooth parallel jaw faces and hold the nut squarely. Because I'm a cheapskate Northern spark I bought a value triple pack of noname adjustable spanners for less than a tenner over a decade ago and they are still fit for purpose on domestic jobs.
Great video with no sound issues. Video wise soon it will have to be Artisan and CO . Just out of interest if the RCD didn’t trip. As it’s not removable would it it mean removing the charger and waiting for a new replacement.
You have a great team here Jordan. @myenergi, this is the best on the market, once on street charging is sorted, I know the way I'm going.. please keep the videos coming
I've always heard them called as current transformers, I don't know about the Zappi ones but when I was an apprentice I was told no to let a current transformer to go open circuit as there could be thousands of volts present!!
Keyboard warrior here !! (I am a sparks some would say) I used to get hammered for putting a fixing on a sweep whether it was conduit, SWA, T&E etc.. Yea I need to get a life haha Great vid btw 👌
Will take a guess and say no difference technically between a RCCB and RCD A RCCB is a type of RCD An RCCB is a RCD without overload protection An RCBO is a type of RCD used for seperate circuits which incorporates overload protection too. (Just started my electrician journey like a month ago so please correct me if I'm wrong😋👍😁)
Thank you for the video, subscribed. I went back to a job today where I had installed a Zappi with a Harvi and couldn’t get the MyEnergy app to show battery storage… I used EV ultra to Zappi and a separate CT clamp on the line conductor inside the solar panels DB board feeding into the Harvi. I wasn’t sure where the third CT clamp should go to get the info for the battery storage onto the app?
We are trying to up our game and @nathanolooneymedia has been helping us with his amazing camera work and editing! He’s done an awesome job so far I think.
Hi Cory & Jordan. If I've understood properlyy you have a 30mA RCD on the board inside the house supplying the outside metal board and a 30mA RCD in the Zappi. How do you achieve selectivity with two 30mA RCDs in series? Please correct me if I've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm not being an arse. I'm just trying to understand. I'm doing the EV charging course next month.
Current transformers are iron core. a transformer (in this case) is a type of transducer. Modern current 'sensors' tend to be hall effect and are correctly termed current sensors. Tip. Ask the customer for a cup of boiling water from the kettle to put the boots (shrouds) in... often has the side effect of 'while the kettle's on...' Gonna give you crap about banjo on metal box tho. Just remove the paint from the box with a file. [go flamers]
If it uses a simple coil of wire then it's a current transformer (most common for AC, but doesn't work on DC) if it uses a hall effect sensor (mostly used only for DC but can be used for AC) then it's a current transducer.
Just a bit of fyi... Polycarbonate (even twin wall like that) does NOT block UV. Grips like yours are fine for SWA glands. It's the rounded jaw type that are the issue. +1 for chiselling the corner off the bricks. Makes for a much neater install as well as safer.
I have 1 CT clamp only and I couldn’t charge up my car as it was saying grid limitation on my zappi all the time, so I had to have none on my CT configuration in order for it to work, and I can’t connect up to my hub as well.
Tip for young Oscar...don't remove the bedding from the cable before inserting it into the gland body. Score it but don't remove it until it's inside the the CU. Not too bad on the size of cable you used there but larger SWAs the insulation on the cores will be damaged pushing them thru the gland as they splay out once the bedding is removed.
I’m just waiting for my Zappi to be installed and I have solar and battery, would I need extra CT clamps for charging from excess solar or is that just for information purposes?
Its a current transformer if it just inputs a secondary signal that is directly proportional to the primary current, its a transducer if it process the signal in any way. 2 Wire devices are almost always transformers.
I believe the difference is that the RCCB will only have line and neutral connections I haven’t started an apprenticeship yet but I’ve been doing a bit of studying and I think that’s it I also think it used to have a different name like ELCB OR ECLB I am not quite sure which but I think that’s the difference ?
Hi guys. Nice video. Do you recommend the metrel testers I’ve always had Megger but looking to hand mine down to one of the boys and get new I know you can get the adaptor for the Megger 1741+ for the car charging but seeing you using the metrel wondered what you thought of them.?
With EV's moving from novelty to a wider adoption are you factoring in capacity for more than 1 EV per household? Or do you think that EV's are a stop gap until a much more planet friendly technology is going to take over?
I'm 16 at the moment and want to become electrician. I will do six form From September. Will I be able to get apprenticeship after finishing my sixth form?
@@NT-no7py but I want to do my sixth form First, I have choose business studies,ict and photography as my sixth form subject. After I finish my sixth form, I want to apprenticeship for electrian. Is that okay for electrian
@@sanjaysanjib5267 does it actually matter. I want do sixth form because I do sixth form and then apprenticeship. Will that not make me an electrician.
@@numberonerelaxing6599 waste of time if that's what you want to do. Find a firm who will take on an apprentice and by the time you're 20 you should be qualified and earning a nice wage.
We got them from workwear express but these are rubbish quality don’t buy them, we are looking for some new ones which will be on a par with North Face in terms of quality
