was the hot water originally only controlled by the time switch? sounds like since you haven't decided on when its running its new to this as well?

@_nztradie 13 күн бұрын

@Goryrat no the time switch is new too, it was on a ripple control meter before hand, we want to limit the current draw to the site and prioritize solar use on the hotwater

this is exactly what I hope working as an apprentice will be. finishing my pre-apprentice soon. I need more of NZ sparky videos haha. too solid bro keep it up

Nice to see you using a micron gauge, but when you shut down the low side valve on your gauge set you also cut out the micro gauge, which is what you need to be watching to check if you have moisture, you wont see it on an analogue gauge. I don't do heat pumps, do they come pre-charged and you are just pulling a vacuum on the lines then opening it up? Do you also nitrogen pressure test your connections? Often slow leaks wont show on a vacuum.

@electricalmayhem you make some good points, over the years different trainers say different things and then this is just where we have ended up, hence why we do it this way

@electricalmayhem 15 күн бұрын

Wouldn't the contactors for the vac pump have a normally closed contact you could use instead of a separate relay? or do not all contactors have that?

@_nztradie 14 күн бұрын

@electricalmayhem just need to find them and then hopefully, using the relay because we are a ways out of town and didn't want to get cought out

Hey Mate , do you think you could expand and dumb down the explanations a little bit , I'm an apprentice and I try to subby and watch as many Electrical videos as I can , purely for my own interest, some of the content I understand but the fast paced editing and explanations seem aimed at an audience who understand everything your doing . If that's the case , please ignore the feedback , I enjoy your videos , just trying to follow along a little bit more in the technical aspects of the installs . :)

How come you don’t use RCBOs? Just wondering because I’m an apprentice and I’ve never installed an RCD, always just use RCBOs for anything new

@_nztradie 25 күн бұрын

@vHystrix there is no real difference except that rcbos are move expensive. We use rcd mainly because thats what we have always use but also because we want our apprentices to be able to wire one and not just rely on rcbo 🤙maybe ill make you a video bro

Hey mate, thought only range appliance doesn't require RCD protection? Can't see anything in anzs 3000 about AC and hot water being exempt unless I'm missing something

@_nztradie 27 күн бұрын

@cozzaa good thought I can look but I believe its under fixed wired appliances, But in the 2018 regs when they come in for nz AC hot water and maybe even ranges (not 100% sure) have to be on RCDs

Thanks for putting in the effort to help out where no 1 else has, like our training providers etc. It really helps having readily accessible information to learn from. Does the current regs exam require us to reference where the multichoice answer came from or do we just select the correct multichoice answers?

@_nztradie Ай бұрын

@harleymark-gordon3589 so questions do and some dont but its pretty obvious, like the answer would but A, 3.5 B, 4.5 C, 3 Or it would ask what is the max resistance to a main earth A, 1ohm B, 0.5ohm C, 0.1ohm

In the UK we have to isolate the neutral too, (it's considered a live conductor now, due to potential PEN faults if the combined neutral/earth goes open, think you guys call it a MEN?) But yes, if we had insulated earths I'd be totally up for splitting the cable to prevent splices as @stuffpeterlikes said earlier

@TheChipmunk2008 3 ай бұрын

(and yes, we still use solid core 2.5 with an unsheathed 1.5mm earth, like the dark ages, Ireland got on board a few years back with full sized earths and insulating them)

Keeping the N & E conductors intact 👍 Every splice is another thing that can go wrong.
