    Is this new EV circuit compliant?

    Specifically I'm thinking of 722.531.3.1 Thoughts?
  2. Murdoch

    Anyone else think this is a daft CU configuration?

    Given its a medical facility with lots of equipment being used most of the time?

    Iboost and Myenergi Eddi

    Our Earthwise Solic 200 has died AGAIN - not happy with it or the manufacturers costs to repair or timescales so I'm pondering whether to bite the bullet and replace it with either of the above. Any views ? Thanks
