    Rear motor model

    I’ve recently had the rear motor inverter changed due to failure. The new inverter has a generic plate where the motor model is stamped. Is there another way to find out which motor I have without a time machine?

    Electrical genius required?

    It’s the only plausible explanation left. We have discounted volt drop and RF interference. The fact that 2 Teslas cause the same issue would suggest they do something different, in terms of charging, to the BMW. I imagine it’s not more widespread because of the unique blend of equipment the...

    Electrical genius required?

    Reading all of the OPs replies I’d be inclined to think that it’s harmonic interference from the AC/DC conversion in the Tesla compared to the BMW.

    Nema 14-50 adapter

    Why would you need one? The equivalent UK socket would be the commando style.

    Electrical genius required?

    How are your gates controlled, wired or wireless. Are both cars parked in the same spot? Are you able to see if the volts stay within limits?

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Depends on a few things. Your DNO will ultimately raise the MPAN for Octopus and will need all the commissioning docs for your PV so make sure your installer has returned them to the DNO to ensure there’s no stumbles.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    I believe it shuts off at around 22:30 until around 5:30. I have weather compensation controls, oversized rads and the temperature set to 18. Seems pretty efficient running it that way.

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    The ROI for PV and batteries was longer (10 years) for me compared to batteries only (6.5 years). With the ROI being significantly larger, the aesthetics and potential to put off house buyers, I went with batteries only. 2 inverters in parallel gives me 7kVA of power output coupled with 14.4kW...

    Unlooping electricity supply

    Your hybrid cable is perfectly fine, we don’t have issues with that, just the older mains cables!

    Unlooping electricity supply

    That’s right, all new mains cables will be alu cored with waveform copper neutrals (wavecon) and the consac is paper insulated and solid alu sheathed. Consac is so prone to faulting due to its makeup.

    IO schedule for reference. 9 hours of cheap rate at 10p and the car and battery are warm for when I want to leave.

    Very popular in the 80’s. I’ve seen 3 houses looped together in some areas. Not as bad as CONSAC cable though, that’s horrendous.

    SMETS2 capable 3-phase meters (and energy suppliers!)

    100A fuses can be fitted it just depends on the cutouts location. Where is yours? You don’t want a 200A cutout (it would actually be a 600A cutout) as you’ll need CT metering and you’ll pay massive amounts of standing charges for the reserved capacity. You’ll also need a 185mm cable up to your...

    The green recovery HV cables were laid to make the capacity available closer to the MSPs (OFGEM funded). The charger companies still then had to apply for the connections off the end of the cables and pay for them.

    Yes, export limiters already exist and will, as the name suggests, limit the export. This will allow you to have a larger inverter and array of panels to allow self consumption but also limit the export to the “grid”. If every house was to limit their export to 3.68kW then in theory there is...

    My comments were more in response to the idea of giving everyone 3 phase supplies and upgrading substations to accommodate generation. Battery storage could help but the AC/DC conversion throws up plenty of harmonics which can affect the network and de-rate it. As it acts in parallel with the...

    These “green recovery” projects are funded by OFGEM which is in turn funded by DUOS (direct use of system) charges which fall upon bill payers. You vastly underestimate the costs involved with overlaying cables, upgrading transformers (primary and distribution), upgrading services etc etc...

    This has probably already been cited but this document shows the DNO investment in “green recovery” projects across the UK. The pages for “MSA” show where big connection provisions have been made to motorway services. Frankley will be getting nearly 12 MVa split between north and south bound...

    My order just keeps getting pushed back from March when lots after me are getting assigned. It’s leaving a very sour taste in my mouth and massively tarnishes the brand. Pissed off.

    Through Leaseplan, I have no visibility of my order unfortunately. I received the RN via text on the 3rd of March and my EDDs have been pushed back many times (I have to ask via chat or calling).
