Lee is a great addition to the team!
As a customer, I’d have been pleased with that install.
Well done, first solo video I have seen of you Lee. Great job, nice and neat. 👍
Great Solo video Lee! Great job done to hide most of Cable.looking forward to seeing more.👍
Great solo vid Lee. You radiate a quiet intelligence which inspires confidence. Good job. 👍
Great video Lee very professional. No Pringles? No fiddling with your hair, upsetting Reuben, fiddling with spiders or chasing wasps, no touching the ceiling and telling viewers you are very tall!!!!
So true! (we love ya Cory)
Great tidy install, very professionally done, just an idea you could have left enough on the data cable and doubled it back down and out through the wall to the meter box, just a thought, there are so many ways of doing things and I think you were spot on.
Top video Lee, you’re so chilled, I would be cursing having to work out the best route for that job!! Final result looks pukka.!
As far as I’m aware the EV circuit should not share an RCD with other circuits check the regs , otherwise nice install thanks for video
Using that Holesaw in the meter cabinet right next to the meter tails is brave!!
Not sure about burying hi-tuff directly into stones without earthed mechanical protection i.e Swa cable. Maybe would have installed hi- tuff surface for this reason.
Great video Lee!
Shout out to the video editor for the choice of music always, love the choices.
Nice install 👍 about the meter cab getting so fed up with nitpicking in the electrical industry to many people judging work and being negative. Have to do what's best in the situation ⚡ van tour of the caddy?
this is more like it , nice install Lee - Corys videos always are about the food and less about the electrics.!
ooow that tip with the laser, excellent! thank you Lee!
Well done Lee with first solo video! The Artisan (Angle) Drilling Company to the rescue.
The best installation tutorial I have seen on this channel to date for an EV point well done, love the van set up to.
Good job Lee,there has always been a rule that you do not put anything in the meter boards,but hey that's not a regulation,and I would of done exactly what you did 👍
Just a tip for safety. Start the pilot hole with a shorter bit of the same diameter. Yes it takes a few seconds longer, but making the hole with a longer bit has more of a potential to slip as the bit will sag. Having an hole that the long bit can go in means no slip.
Just remember if u read these comments ignore the haters they don't always know what they are talking about you have done an amazing job well done mate keep up the good work
Neat install Lee. I install ct in board in these occasions as making a joint is not good practice if not necessary in my opinion.
*Just a note for the next one if the chargepoint doesn't have a display like the Hypervolt then it can be mounted between 750mm - 1200mm so could of gone below window. Only display units are 1200mm-1400mm.
Imagine winding a 5m cable on a charge 750mm high. All savings you make will keep the chiropractor busy.
Great job Lee, another enjoyable video and you can see that your confidence in front of the camera is growing on each new vid!
Beautiful installation and well explained! 👌
16:30 Maybe a bit of capping, that way they could have painted that and the supply end with paint to match the gutters to blend in with the brick better. 👍
Turned out really nice Lee... You did a great job
I like to tape the bubble wrap bag that the holder comes in on the type 2 socket, stops it getting scuffed when moving it about during installation. Hypervolt sell the metal mounting plates now, so get Jordan to get you one.
Great job though Lee 👏
Hyp
Hi Lee, run the cable in conduit rather than buried, slightly deeper would be more practical. Other than that, good installation. 👍 approach is positive. Keep it up
So Lee, you have a collection of whips. Oookay 🤔
Always fill any previous drill holes in the meter cabinet with expanding foam to prevent any vermin getting to the meter cabinet
I’ve never done it with a hypervolt before, but usually when there’s something you have to hang up you can turn it upside down and use the bottom holes as help, instead of having to measure and use your water level etc.
btw, great job lee, looks great.
Really nice job of installing the cables with the least visibility.
Great to see Lee flying solo!
Nice video Lee. Can tell you are a neat Spark
Que profesional es Lee, aprendí detalles viendo este video, como el tema del nivel (y si, es mejor el laser verde).
Good choice for the cable run.
When we had our Hypervolt installed, electrician used dry wall screws to fix charging cable holster to the wall. Looks better than silver screws. Just the observation. Keep up the good work 👍
Dry wall screws?
@@heladas90 yes, they are black
Drywall screws aren’t rust resistant. Unless you are in a desert area you maybe replacing those screws in a few years.
@@mikecumbo7531 I guess I will have to if they rust.
They don't really hold that well in red plugs as they are thinner, he could have used a smaller plug, but nearly every electrician will use predominantly red plugs, it may work loose over time.
Thanks for sharing !
Noy a very good install, using the meter box as a route and also putting ur armour in the same "trunking"(should of been a hockey stick that comes with the 1ph cabinet) as the main incoming. any overheating/melting of the armoured could cause damage to the 35mm incoming service as only a plastic sheet and then ur N+E and cores , that's why it runs on his own in a plastic electrical duct. I would advise u let ur costumer know about the risks of "hiding" that cable and putting it right.. PS... If anything goes wrong with the main incoming service in the section of your install your company would be liable to pay the DNO for any future repairs .. looking good dosent mean safe..
Had a similar job last week I taped on to the 16mm earth and pulled it through then pulled EV cable and earth back through customer was well happy no trunking in the hallway
So there’s a tip for you
I love watching Lee work 😋🤤🤤
Me to hehe. He’s getting a fan club 😍
id say in a situation like this, i see nothing wrong with a wiska box in the meter cupboard for the CT's. Having another DB in there like you see on some installs yeah, that takes up all the room for upgrades in the future. But a 150mm wiska box isnt going to stop anyone putting in new equipment in the future.
Nice one Lee. Good, practical and common sense solutions used there. Forget about the keyboard warriors, they will always moan regardless👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great trades man
Always looking, not for the most convenient way for you but the best for the customer, you can only do what you can do with the site your working on.
Getting more comfortable with the camera 👍
Good video Lee, without Corys theatrics 😂😂😂
Great video as always guys! Keep up the amazing work!
Nice job Lee 😎
Great job Lee.
great effort, hope the sparky that does mine is as good as you
"Nuisance cooking" - My wife does a lot of that!
Excellent video.
Great job, nice one!
Nice job Lee, personally, for jobs like this I wouldn’t worry about having the CT clamp in the meter box, it’s there for a good reason and doesn’t take up space like someone sticking a 4 way DB in there does 😬
Your way turned out neater tho 👌🏼
Nobody is concerned when they stick that box in the meter box from the energy supplier for their smart meter or energy monitor, an electrician does it and everyone is phoning the electrical police😂😂
Nice job, well done.
Very nice neat job, Lee - esp liked the mitred trunking.
If it were my house I'd have clipped it cuz I prefer that industrial look but would be up to the customer :)
Run the trunking full length to the ceiling have a tee going into the board looks neater.
Your trunking mitre looks better than a manufactured 90 👍👍
Very informative video. Nice installation
Nicely worked out Lee.
Great video Lee.
Great Job! Thumbs up! Cheers!
Good install! Lee is better to watch, doesn't try to stand around cracking "jokes", gets in and gets it done. And tidy. Easy watch this time cheers Lee
Nice vid, up with the team. Use lighting fuse - yes!
Nice install!!
Run the cable through a 25mm PVC conduit under the shingle for extra protection.
Nice job mate
Great vid lee,neat job.
Can you use high tough in the ground?
Nice work fella
Nice to see the cable buried. Maybe Lee will educate the others to do a Artisan job
Nice one Lee!
Great video--thank you for sharing.
Great job lee 👍
Informative video !
Quick question please . Is the lead connector holder a must have ? Can l loop the lead around the charger and leave the connector hanging?
Mate that cable needs cleating under the shingle, especially as its not swa. What erection method is that? Its not clipped direct that's for sure, if its buried then it needs to be in a duct and actually buried 450mm. I put swa under shingle but I cleat it also.
I’m a final year apprentice your videos really help.. I’ve seen some stuff about needing a SPD in board is this needed and if I don’t install will it break my mates expensive electric car :)
Thanks
Well done lee
Good job lee
Great quality video
Isn't the requirements for designated fire alarms and whether they are protected by there own circuit breaker specified by the local building authority?
Hi I am due today get a hypervolt 3.0 installed at my property this week. I do solar and growatt inverter and battery system. I have been told it is a straight forward install but I am concerned they are not taking into account to integrate it into the solar. Is there anything I should be looking out for with the install if a hub would be required etc for measuring solar, battery and grid
Nice clean install 👍👌
Get this man a green one 🟢
Nice job 😎
Thank you
Nice one 👍cool video
Everything has more profundity in Slowmo
Installed one, all wired in, then to find I need a cat5 from the meter or board is a pain. Not sure which way the ct should face though
HI Lee Enjoyed watching your installation, as said very professional executed, thinking ahead for a VE, I have a 32amp cable approx 10m in a ducting to my garage for my Joinery machines on a 16amp fuse, now retired, so not using the machines, is the cable large enough for a charger. Regards welshman2081
Nice job Lee where's the company van/Tesla hope you'll be sorted with something soon
Nice video. Question what was the vertical cover over the incoming mains cable. Brand , Make etc?
What a hunk!!!
Thanks Lee that looks great. Question: why do you need the data cable and CT if the charger can communicate with Wi-Fi?
The Data/CT is required to monitor the current flowing through the whole installation (hence putting it on incoming tails). This allows for the load management in the Hypervolt to do its part if someone turns on the likes of showers, kettles, Tumbles and cookers etc the same time as charging the car. The CT will detect it and ramp the car charge down until the current drops back.
Tried to get a quote via your link but did not work for me
My plan B would have been to disconnect the earth and use it as a draw wire and pulled a new draw wire in with it
nice job
Done the C&G 2919 today. They mentioned about exporting PME. How do you achieve this?
NOICE VIDEO LEE
15:00 Doesn't that mean there is an RCD at both ends? Thought hypervolt had in built RCD protection? Selectivity?
