Hi,
I'm not an electrician (I was a telecoms engineer with BT, back in the day), but I watch a lot of your videos. I found this one really interesting, because I'm about to get an EV. If I have any work done I like to check on the best practice for that work! I'm very impressed with your professional and knowledge. I really hope I manage to find an electrician as good as you! Keep up the great work.
Hi Jordan and Cory, great information. Having a Zappi installed next week so better prepared for getting involved with the set-up procedures. Follow all of your work.
Excellent! Thanks
AMAZING work guys! You are an AMAZING teacher! He will successfully pass when he gets another Zappi installation at customers. You will watch him. THUMB UP! Cheer!
👍
Hup
You guys will make a great team, great tutorial, thanks for sharing.
Nice bag Cory all good sparkles have a Tech XL 👍
Very subtle sales technique, nice one lads ☘️
Cory is a great learner !!
Yes he is!
Cory look like he posing to be taken a picture😂..im loving the team✌🏼✌🏼
Thanks!
Nice vid guys!!!
Thanks for the excellent videos Jordan. You have inspired me as a newcomer to the industry. Two questions about EV charging please:
1- Can the testing be carried out by an ordinary MFT (Megger) or do I have to buy a special one for the Zappi ?
2- Is an SPD needed on the whole consumer unit or just for the EV circuit ?
1:05 he's thinking "why the hell are we doing this in November?"
😂
Great video
hmm location looks oddly familiar! 😂😂😂😜😜
great teaching there! nice one
Thanks 😁
Sometimes it's handy having someone tell you about a product, but then you will only forget, you only get to know about something when you are working on them day in day out, but you always have the instructions to fall back on, these things are not difficult to install, it's only another circuit.
Judging by the comments, when someone does a simple job, they now have to be praised from the roof tops, is that where we are at in this country.
Well done Jordan and Cory!! Double thumbs up! Is it wrong that i want you guys to install a Zappi although i dont have an EV?? 😂
🤣👍👍
Great video 📹 👍
Thanks
Hi Jordan,
If you had solar panels would you need to wire the ct back to the harvi in the meter cabinet or would you need a separate harvi local to the solar panel supply?

Great video, do you leave the pass code as default or do you tend to change it to your own pass code on jobs? Cheers
whats the range of the hub? Like how far away from the charger can i have it? Installing a zappi in our carport - 20-30 meters from our router. Do you think it will work? No walls in between.
Thanks, artisan electrics 👍🏻
Zappi CTs runs on a single twisted pair ethernet cable, if you ever need to extend them (up to 100M) you can connect supplied CT cable to a single pair of standard Ethernet cable. You can connect more than one Harvi to a system, so on a very big system more than six CTs are possible, devices can also be grouped so two separate Solar systems can be grouped so that Zappi sees how much power is being produced.
Thanks!
Quick question please:
If you have solar pv and a Powerwall and want to fit two Zappi chargers and an Eddi, how many Harvi ‘s, Hub’s and CT’s do you need?
1:57 you need to trademark that gentle caress 😆😆😆
BTW You can have multiple Harvi's as well as using the wired CT connections. I've got solar and batteries and the CT's are all in different locations.
Hi Jordan, I’ve been watching your CZcams channel for a while now as I was looking to get an EV and therefore a home wall charger. That’s how I found your channel in the first place. Now I have my EV (e-Niro) and the people installing my free wall charger have said I need a 100 amp Dual Pole Isolation Switch fitted by my energy supplier (EDF). Because of COVID-19 EDF are not doing any service work at the moment. Is the 100a DP Isolation Switch something an Electrician can fit or does it have to be my energy supplier? Thanks again Great Channel!
May I ask, is Cory Hypersensitive for sunlight?
As the Harvi is connected before the meter and derives its power from induction so legaly you are extracting un metered power, should the CT be on the tails from the meter?
I relise its minmal but............
😂👍 good point
As the Harvi is powerd by the magnetic field harvested using a CT, If you place it before the meter, is that technically stealing electricity?
Did you find out, how many CTs can be used?
Maybe the config menue shows, how many mappings for CT inputs to their value's interpretation (solar, battery....) are available.
Is there more than 3?
Would be nice to be able to measure 3 phase grid + Solar + Battery, at best Solar/Battery also with 3 Phases....
Isn't Cory a spark already??? He's right about CT though😁
I saw on one of your previous video’s you just fitted a Hager SP MCB for the supply is it not DP you need to be fitting for the Zappi?
No because it has built in isolation via its own double pole RCD
Hi - any particular reason why you left all the cable coiled up between the CT and the Harvi, rather than cutting it to length?
Not really, you can do it either way. I usually cut them short to be fair
isn't meter connection for information about cheap tarrif? we have day and night tarrif in Croatia and night one is much cheaper and it starts at 21 in winter and at 22 in summer. and you can plug car in and it wolud start charging when meter says it's cheaper...
I keep getting grid limitation on my newly installed zappi is it because the grid limitation is set way to low
One question, even though it might seem obvious wouldnt a 32a breaker be a bit close to the 30 odd amps it draws ?
Manufacturers instructions so they must have done the maths
No. Also the MCBs are not tripping on spot. Thermal overload for B and C curve is 1.13 to 1.45 times the rated current for one hour on an ambient temperature of 30°C. On a 32A MCB that would be between 36.2 and 46.4A. But actually it's not wise to use this overhang. Which isn't done, because 30A are still less than 32A.
Fuses or mcb's don't trip at their rating, as others have probably said
Loved the rendition of final fantasy lol
What Clips are you using for your SWA?
They look like Linian clips.
www.linianclip.co.uk/product/linian-superclip/
Please can you cover the testing procedures and the installation certificate for EV chargers?
How does the circuit for the CT know which way power is flowing? Ah, yes, phase angle. But a current measurement (CT) must be time referenced to voltage measurement (in Zappi). So the Harvi must be quite a clever little widget, particularly as it is self powered! The Zappi must be able to receive an instantaneous current reading from the Harvi and be able to compare it against an instantaneous voltage reading in the Zappi taken at about the same time, or at least within half a 50Hz cycle. Is this right? No wonder they don't use wifi.
Yes it’s a clever little device!
Just had a quote to install a zappi. They suggested connecting directly to the meter? Is this normal? Run is only around 2 metered
No we never connect to the meter cupboard as we’re not allowed to install our equipment in there
@@artisanelectrics I thought it didn't sound right.
Hi Jordan are you are you OLEV certified? Looking to get a charger installed and I’m in Stevenage
He is, artisanelectrics.co.uk/charging.html
"Artisan Electrics are OLEV Approved Installers for Electric Vehicle Charging Points. We can apply for a grant of up to £350 for you to install an Electric Vehicle Charging Point in your home under the Homecharge Scheme or up to £14,000 for you to install EV Charging Points at your Workplace under the Workplace Charging Scheme."
How is it so sunny? We live in the same county and I need a boat to go outside.
And in the south, in Germany, I freeze my aXX off...
HI, i am training to become an electrician, currently doing level 2, I have been out of education for 11 years, the practical I am finding fine but the science/maths side i am struggling with, things like resisters in parallel and series etc, do you have any advice on what I can do to help me understand it better, love the videos,
Watch some of Joe Robinsons Training Videos
@@artisanelectrics thank you very much
What happened to the Tesla wall connector you were going to install?
Next video 😉
Zappi or Tesla or other, what is your favourite nowadays?
Jordan could you briefly distil the technical differences (in terms of capability) between the Zappi and the Anderson, I really prefer the look of the Anderson.
They are basically the same inside so it’s all about the looks. The myenergi app is a bit smarter than the Andersen one as well as it allows you to monitor your whole house energy usage
@@artisanelectrics Thanks for the response. If I could prevail on your good nature- if they are essentially the same is there a workaround to integrate Anderson and the my energy app? 🙏
No workaround that I know of but I haven’t experienced using the Andersen app so maybe it’s just as good, you would have to do some research
@@artisanelectrics OK cheers.👍😀
What does the harvi do?
Wireless CT signal
Wait, wait, wait, "self powered" Harvey taking small amount of power before the meter? (gasps)
Its induced power from the magnetic field of the cable so doesn't actually "steal" any electricity as such
You need to update the firmware on the Hub in order to get the latest firmware for the Zappi (currently v3.092) not v2.176 myenergi.com/updating-your-firmware/ .
However, nice vid!
Yes that’s right
isnt it a pain in the bum to have the type 2 cable stuck to the charger? Isnt it really annoying to change if it breaks or so?
Not at all! What is really annoying is to have to get a cable out of the boot of the car every time you want to charge and plug it in to the charger
@@artisanelectrics You can just leave it plugged into the charger ;) Our sits in the charger all the time. Its easier to change a type 2 cable then trying to find a replacement cable from zappi? And even if they sell cables as replacement, they would be pretty expensive as you need their cable to make it work?
True
@@artisanelectrics Have you worked with a "Easee Home Charging Station"? If so, do you like it?
Not yet, hoping to try one out soon
Its zigby
Why don’t you guys use an electric screwdriver? Bust be quicker unless you pay by the hour 😂
Need to fix your gate
I know 🤦♂️
the music is over powering (to loud)
Sorry
@@artisanelectrics in the background will be ok
chris.
thats all right
who comes up with the names for these chargers...the use of the'i' is just cringe af!
Like the Anderson?
The caressing thing is getting a bit creepy.
😂
How awkward does Cory feel.....
It must be tough having a camera on you all day, at any time in your career, let alone on your first week. I think the young chap did well bless him.
I thought that lol his face at the beginning looked like he was thinking I really can't be a***d taking that charger apart and putting it together again 😂😂
😂
Great video
