    Hi good work thanks.
    Is there any way to get your generators output to 12volt

    Thank you for the video. Can you use any KVA generator? 2kva 5kva 10kva? Meaning anyone required for your needs or does it need to match the KVA on the breaker?

    what about the earth? Does the generator need to be earthed or is the DB's earthing enough?

    Sir I have an isolator for the solar panel and the isolator for the genarator,were exactly should I connect the neutral from the isolator in the db,because I connected it on the neutral bar to charge the battery but it doesn't charge what can be the problem

    Can we have a video for the circuit with utility feed 3 phase plus backup generator.

    Do u have a diagram on how to connect a geni to utility from the main breaker outside .. I don't want to do the connection to the earth leakage as it is not as neat. Kindly assist

  • @jmunshi
    @jmunshi 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you need a breaker between the generator power feed and the changeover switch, or a breaker between the changeover switch and earth leakage?

    • @ecologicaltime
      @ecologicaltime  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      the genny has a breaker already on it. It depends on what you are doing, if you connecting to your home, you must have earth leakage with overload protection after genny.

    Can you explain what to do with the earth?

  • @ashtonchetty4408
    @ashtonchetty4408 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the generator with two output plug points is it possible to connect both to one ip44 connector, to get the most out of the generator to the change over switch?

    • @ecologicaltime
      @ecologicaltime  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      some generators just have those two plugs bridged on the inside of the generator so no you wouldn't gain anything. I suppose by suing both plug points you can increase the current carrying capacity as you are limited to smaller cable to fit in plug top? This is one of my pet peeves, a genny says 4kW or 5kW but then has 16A plug fitting. They should have a high amp connection point.

    How do you know when the main supply comes back on if you are running from generator

    just buy a double throw switch

  • @antonylendrum4249
    @antonylendrum4249 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The earth leakage won’t work on the generator unless the neural is bonded to earth.

    Same for solar then?

  • @karooboermeyer1115
    @karooboermeyer1115 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What about the V-0-V issue? Also a plug can not handle the 5kW?

    • @patrickcannell2258
      @patrickcannell2258 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A V-0-V generator may not be connected to an installation in South Africa. This is in SANS 10142. However you can convert it that the neutral is earthen and the centre tap is no longer earthed. I have converted plenty and made them compliant.

    • @patrickcannell2258
      @patrickcannell2258 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I add a 32 A plug to handle 5kW or I go straight into the generator.with 4mm cable.

    • @karooboermeyer1115
      @karooboermeyer1115 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@patrickcannell2258 yes but the code strictly forbids V-0-V generators from being wired into a house. Measure L-E, you will only get 120V, same with N-E, but L-N you will get 240V. Its a V-0-V

    doesnt having the exhaust exit outside negate the point of building an enclosure? wouldnt you want to dissipate the sound from the exhaust as well?
