SHOULD YOU FIT AN IP65 CONSUMER UNIT

[@RichWilliams-bb6qi]

Excellent video! 100% right and big respect for not making one knowing what it will be used for!

[@navitascp]

Thank you! And appreciate the positive comment!

[@BULLEAD]

Great explanation of real world conditions.

Thanks for watching mate

[@brettjtodd]

Great video, Will. Clear and well presented :-)

Thank you mate

I get that moisture is a risk in ip65 units. Not sure that I agree with the statement that warming air creats moisture. To crest moisture hydrogen needs to come from somewhere to combine with oxygen in the air to form h20. I believe the isdue is that warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. Therefore if air is warmed and has moisture available to absorb it will yake up more moisture. If that air rhenium cools or touches a cool surface it will release that moisture. Therefore the issue is ip65 units pulling in warm damp air that then cools to release moisture. My assumption is that the issue is more likely to come from the unit cooling down after a charge is complete, cooler air takes less space, damp air then pulled in and condenses on cold surface of enclosure. Or some simillar process.

This is essentially highlighting the points made. The condemnation of which is generated by the combination of heat internally and cold externally. Certainly needs reviewing

[@delspark]

very interesting is this a uk only problem as in the USA they fit there consumer unit on the outside and metal they don't seem to have a problem

[@navitascp]

Across the whole country? Or in warmer states?

[@delspark]

@@navitascp it varies state to state I believe, would that make a difference

I find the best way to deal with this issue of a difficult EV charger job is to decline the work as there are plenty of of easier jobs one can partake in.

[@navitascp]

lol that’s ones way!

[@alanbeard4871]

Maybe the powers that be should think again about banning the installation of split load boards so that we have a chance of connecting to the existing cu.

[@navitascp]

There was a prevision in the 18th to do this

[@dale76uk]

What a load of nonsense. 500w lighting has been around for years and Ive never seen any with moisture inside from condensation.

[@navitascp]

What type of ventilation do the units use?

[@petefinn6000]

Sorry fell asleep

Thanks for trying
