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!
Cory getting better and better at presenting and also having a laugh, great work and loving the videos
Yep he’s a real star!
You seem to be a natural teacher, with a nicely paced rhythm. Well done.
Cory has the whole “edutainment” thing down to a tee already! He’s a natural
After that intro, I think Cory should do the M&S adverts.

After only a few videos I think Cory is the most pedagogic electrician on YT - and fun too! 🖖
Don't even know what that means.
Had to look it up which was educational in itself
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.
Haha so true!
EDIP... best way to teach and learn
the quality of these videos is just getting better and better love the new team you've built great lads
Thanks we’re happy you’re on board with our journey! More great content on its way!
This guys a good laugh makes the videos more entertaining to watch
good work Corey good to see you explaining the stages to Oscar in how to install the zappi .
Nice idea Cory is an excellent teacher with Oscar. Great teamwork.. Thumb up! Cheer!
Quality video, great sound, Cory and Oscar work so well together! Oscar is one lucky apprentice! Flipping awesome.
Thanks a lot Jim!
Another awesome job by the dynamic duo !!!
All this fancy stuff is ace. Here in my house I still have to press switches to turn lights on
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
Thanks a lot!
Best to you and Oscar for a great job Cory 😃👌👏👏👏❤️❤️
Absolutely brilliant installation and vid.
Thanks!
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 best video so far.
Bold statement, but I could listen to Cory all day long on these YT videos. Big Dave Attenborough esq. 👍. LV
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
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!)
Thanks Geoff! We certainly have a great team!
More Cory Humour love it!
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.
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
Thanks!
well done guys, what a team!!! looks nice and neat!
Thanks we are glad you enjoyed the video!
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
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
Love this, banter kudos
Thanks! ... for using the lav microphone!
Sound is way better now!
Sweet video-opener today 😂
Thanks we’re constantly trying to improve!
Cory's sarcasm knows now bounds
He's too funny
Great video, you two should definitely have a TV show 😆😆😆
Cory is a great teacher too
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!
yes! Both Ears! Brill video once again.
Yay, thank you!
Well done video! Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
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.
Soudal makes a paste that has a texture that looks exactly like bricks. Just pick the right colour and you wouldn’t notice there ever was a hole.
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.
my second Dream Job is a Electrician and I’m liking The Vids keep it up 👍👍🏻
Excellent thanks!
What’s your first?
@@artisanelectrics Plumbing
7:27 nice job Oscar 😎
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?
I see the boss dose not come out on the cold days 😁 nice work guys
Actually I did come out to that job and see how they were getting on.
13:25 Tighter than a plumber hiring an electrician 😆😆😆
😂
I snorted
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.
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!!
Corey is the better teacher/explainer, Oscar is in good hands
Yeah Cory is an excellent teacher and we hope having him on the channel will be beneficial learning for a lot of people not just Oscar!
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?
I reckon Cory did it 😂
@@AndyK.1 Jordan had his clippers out on his IG stories.
He’s doing night shifts in the MyEnergi factory for free just to learn about their products that’s how dedicated this guy is 🙌 😂
@@JBE oscars mum did his hair, corys sister did his and my wife did mine! Thank goodness now we all look like human beings again instead of cousin it!
@@artisanelectrics I did mine myself too but to be honest it's best I keep my hat on. 🧐
Sound quality is exceptional
Thanks Delroy!
Comedy gold. Oh and cracking work as always.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
Great video.
I’m a 2nd year electrical apprentice i do at least 15 SWA glands a week I always use pipe grips not spanner’s when glanding
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.
@@dg2908 ya I must invest in two pairs of the ones Corey has.. I do find the pipe grips cut into the brass gland but the shroud covers it
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.?
Great intro 👍😃
😂👍
LOVE the introduction ahaha
Me too! It’s my favorite so far!
CK Armour Slice is what Oscar needs great bit of kit 👌🏻
Can’t beat using the grinder to cut the armour just don’t push the grinder to hard 😂👍
@@niallmacneill5525 naughty 😂
good job Oscar
Subscribed because of jordans content, but i must admit corey does explain things an break them down better & show things in a different way which for me makes it easier to understand an grasp ( i am not qualified as of yet but working towards it)
Thanks for you're contribution to helping me along
Thanks I’m glad you’re enjoying all our content! Cory is a great teacher isn’t he!
Another great video, thank you. How do I know if my electricity supply can handle an EV charger being added?
Great video 😎
More menu setup og my energy, Please 🙏
You have to jump on the free MyEnergi training webinars for that
Morning Guys just out of interest do you install surge protection on all of your installations, Cheers Dave

Hi Jordan, Where did you get the branded jackets from? Have you a link? Thanks 👍
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.
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 👌
Haha thanks
Job and knock that’s the best kind of day 👍
Yep sometimes you win!
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.
64 Zoo Lane! love it.
fingers in a live CU with an uncovered bus bar.. lol that's why they're called sparkies? :) Nice vid guys cheers
Loving the house number 😂😂 64 zoo lane 😂
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?
Another excellent video, you both look so cold though.
It was a cold day!
When their storage batteries are full does it feed back to the grid..?
Haha loved the intro good Install by Cory and Oscar well done lads 🤟💪
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
Hello,
Great video's!
Could you let me know where exactly you clamp the CT clamp with regards the solar and batter please?
Thanks in advance 😃
Great Question, I'd love an answer if you could let me know where to diiferentiate the solar and the battery
As usual fantastic video any chance of showing little more on final testing with mft.
Maybe we will make a dedicated video for that! 👍
I'm sorry but Cory is next level 😂😂😂
He certainly is 👍
How did you get the info from the solar install to tell myenergy how much solar is being created. I’m a bit stuck with it?
Hi Corey great videos your doing one question does the zappy have pen fault detection
Hi yes it does have PEN fault detection built in! As well as Type A RCD with 6mA DC protection! It’s an amazing piece of kit
Great video. I have a question; where do you get the branded jackets as I'm looking for a decent supplier. Thanks.
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
If I want to use one of Zappi for 3 phases, how could I manage my solar, battery and 3 phases from grid? Don’t I need five CT clamps?
Is that area outside and underneath a lean-to Corrugated Plastic roof suitable for a non-IP rated Consumer Unit?
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.
gr8 video. loads of tips. not sure about the 'ott' filming tho.
thanks
We’re trying to up our game content wise to improve the quality
@@artisanelectrics clearly. gr8 tips tho
Can this system prevent the battery from emptying into the car if its charging at night?
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.
Video-description: Nippel-conform mounting of an EV-Charger 😁
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.
Thanks
This guy.... I like this guy....
The more I see of the MyEnergi kit, the more buyer's remorse I have over getting swayed by the sleek look of the EO Mini charger 😢
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 ?
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.
HAHAHA Amateur move With the knife!! With the tape on the finger! Fantastic. Good Stuff.
British standard NIPPLE CALIBRATION CERT requirment to be added to works paperwork ??
😂
RCD stands for Residual Current Device, while RCB stands for Residual Current Breaker.
The voiceover at the start was really creepy. The rest of the video was great.
You should get commission on Zappi sales 🙂. I want one!
Haha thanks tell that to MyEnergi I would be rolling in it 🤑
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]
RCCBs are RCDs without any overload
Those blue eyes get me every video ;-)
🤣👍
Can you help me with one thing I buy a draper Torque screwdriver set 19pcs can you asked DHL in uk how much they will take a money to send them to Lebanon and how many day it Will take????
What happened to drilling the earth banjo on swa gland ?
Depends on how the cable is earthed
how much is a battery / solar setup like this?
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😋👍😁)
And an RCD could also be integrated into a plug, into the cable (PRCD = portable residual current device) or an outlet.
@@Marcel_Germann thank you! 👍😁👌
I think basically RCD is a generic term, ie a RCCB is a RCD, a RCBO is a RCD and an MCB in one unit.
@@cumberland1234 That's correct. RCBO, RCCB, PRCD are the different devices, but they all belong to the group of RCDs.
Now retired but back in my day when they first came out in Australia they were called ELCB - Earth Leakage Circuit breaker.
