spoke with a CU Manufacturer today and they reckon its on its way, most of the time though its down to dodgy installers not tightening terminals correctly, also sidewinder apparently LSF and also non flammable plastic not gonna hit the mark, (BRING BACK METAL), may also ask the question on the...

In my mind metal consumer units are the only way to achieve this, not sure we gonna get them for £52 though:)

Hi Guys Does anyone know if plastic enclosures have been banned under Amendment 3? the way I am reading it is that "no enclosures with combustible material " can be used, does this mean the end of the Contractor packs and we are going back to good old fashioned metal?

No I don't suppose they do canoe ;) Can any of you confirm what voltage level the inverters are factory set at for a G83-2 compliant inverter please

Hi Binky They sound ideal! I had a chat with ABB last week and they confirmed they set their inverters at 262v though in line with G83-2!!

What I am thinking is to try a new design of transformer we are just completing, I would need a site that is obviously at the high end of the scale and one that preferably has the inverter set at 253v and may have a trip out problem

I realise what a choke is canoe  :) What size system do you have on your house and do you know what voltage you have day and night?

What are you using the transformers for?

Canoe, of course you could just put a transformer in to step down the voltage, chances are though it would consume more power than what you would save!! Always be aware of VO Companies that use laminated transformers, make sure the transformer type is a toroid but chose 1 that will take the...

Hi Guys, Gees I am away a week and you are planning my funeral already :) Blue Duck where are you getting your information from? are you suggesting that ancient grid systems/equipment with PV has a lowering effect on voltage?

Not gonna happen mate in our life times, plan for the realities not a wish list, embrace Domestic VO units (especially mine ) :)

A letter to NSW Pricing Regulator, Ausgrid quotes "Ausgrid warns that in areas with a high concentration of solar cells, voltage levels can rise and this can have consequences for appliances and equipment in customers homes, it can also cause solar systems to switch off" MANAGE OUR VOLTAGES OR...

We need to look at Australia boys, especially Queensland, they have had so many systems installed that the main generation Companies are in crisis, (just looked at one of the posts on your forum titled 'solar has won') I know  first hand that their high voltage is a major issue to their...

ok, due to the amount of views now should I start a new post as it takes ages to get here!! Lets put it another way then!! if you had x street that has 3 inverters connected onto the same phase installed by non muppets, would the voltage be higher now than what it was before within the local...

Anyway, quite happy to look at incorporating anything into the products if the experts in the PV industry think we need to put them in, (yes that's some of you lot!), I did say some :) Just to start you off again, I have been doing my homework today and have spoken to a very,very large...

Is he my beer drinking qualified expert from a previous post?

Hi CANOE, can I copy and paste at any time on this forum?? can you send me the link to SBS Daves product in question?

Hi guys, we are using the single module single height unit( same size as MCB) by M2 , due to the smaller footprint they do work out more expensive unfortunately!

Hi Guys, sorry for delay, I have had a full day converting the non believers in the North East  :) Always provide RCBOs as it tends to cater for all needs, trust me I would prefer to provide an MCB at £6 rather than an RCBO at £22. My personal opinion guys before you all bombard me with BS7671...

Hi Binky, we do not target a specific stabilised set point, we either reduce the voltage by 15v and have an auto LV cut-out threshold so as not to go below CENELEC limits of just use a straight 18v non intelligent unit for stiff supplies. We also do a basic 18v subtractive unit with a build in...
