Sy is not uv resistant, so should not be used outdoors. It's meant for machinery, connecting into an isolator

nothing wrong with it in principle, just not how most would do things.

sounds like a poor earth, but I would just replace the whole thing as it maybe the heating element failing, or damp in the other electrical bits.

in the days of the FiT where you got paid for what you generated, I did have customers who installed multiple phases so they could have multiple arrays.

6mm is good for upto 45Amps max, dependedent on length of cable run and a few other factors, so you could probably use it for a 40Amp supply with no issues, good enough for a faster EV charger. You can get good deals on charging on off-peak, so you are not likley to be using the office an...

question is do you really want 3 phase in the annexe?

ampage will never be stable from solar panels.

you cant see it, smell it or hear it, yet electricity effing bites!I manged to get to retirement with only a couple of nasty reminders, in fact the best bit of being retired is not working with something that wants to kill me all day :ROFLMAO:

farmers mess! Probably safer to TT the lot. If I remember correctly theres something about sub mains and 300mA RCD for farm buildings - reliablity with fire protection, in the regs. havnn;t got my book to hand to have a read.

how much is a larger shunt v some large diodes? Looking at an installation video for the shunt, I can't see any obvious reason why your cunning plan wouldn't work

In that case I would go to one of the victron Facebook pages, where lots of expertise can be found. The nice thing about victron is that it has an extensive fan base who are very knowledgable

could go old school with a battery and torch lamp

probably worth a quick call to Victron technical helpline, it's not the sort of gear many will have encountered on here. Do let us know what they say.

welcome to the forum

So it didn't like the input being too high?

dimming LEDs can be a right mare! Ive got a set to fit, KSR downlights and Hamilton dimmer, the dimmer needs setting up to work, it will be interesting to see how well it dims.

You could have a look at things like fair grounds / portable catering units, it caravans and boats. I did a similar project for a stable block. Solar panels fed a battery via a charge controller, lighting was 12v off the battery via a set of fuses, 240v inverter provided power for tools and...

your standard ring circuit puts 2 cables into one MCB, so spur off at the MCB if you like, it's still just a radial cct.

nevr understod 6 lugs, I think only MK ever made a double socket that had 4 screws, sometime before I was born :D
