@@TheChipmunk2008 I think the purpose is basically to stop light getting to the panels to drop the voltage down to a safe level when in a string config, rather than extinguish fires - seems a bit overkill as a solution for this frankly, but may be useful in situations where the fire service has no other choice than to dump a load of slime on a high building before any equipment or bits of the building downstream goes off I guess...
Yup, lots of jobs up for sparks paying £17 an hour... Insult that is. Can make £15 an hour filling shelves. Didn't spend years at college and doing lots of training to get £17 an hour.... £20+ or im not getting out of bed. £25+ and ill even be on time.
I can understand using black ooze if you're the fire service but at any other time a blackout tarp would likely be a more sensible choice, unless you're throwing the panels out.
I'm guessing that a roll of black bin bags would do the same job for a lot less money. I also wonder whether this cleans off easily after the work is complete. How does any overspray clean off brickwork and roofing materials?
The IET acts over battery pack confusion - by creating more confusion. Try reading that document. I read as far as page 4 and my brain started to hurt. ""Active power (kW)=√3×U×IPCE×cosϕ=3×U0×IPCE×cosϕ" ... any sparky reading that is going to chuck it in the skip
We only want to know if they can be sited in a loft or not. In fact we don't even want to know that. We just want manufacturer's instructions to trump everything.
They mostly are, but like all things, some electricians like to make things difficult.... Easiest option, strict limitation to the ENA approved list for the inverter.....
should inverters not be designed NOT to introduce HF rather than putting the onus on sparks? also my arm HAS become torque calibrated, it clicks painfully sometimes ..... anyone else experienced this?
Surely throwing a sheet over the solar panels is better than covering them in black slime?
Reminds me of the famous anecdote of NASA spending $$$$ on a pen that worked in space while the Russians just used a pencil 😂
depends om the nature of the slime and the nature of the emergency, if the inverter is on fire. hell yes i'd use this

Sunseeker only pay £18hr for sparks.. that's why they cant get any

@@arcadia1701e i duno about filling shelves for 15 an hour if thats the case sign me up
ill have as my second job
@@efixx Yep.. when i came off the ships as an ETO i was offered a job at one of the large yatch builders, i laughed when they told me the hourly rate

I'm having a solar install this week, do I have to ensure the electicians use Type B RCD's then?

Hi guys, do you know how this new battery guide differs from the recently released IET code of practice battery book?
The IET acts over battery pack confusion - by creating more confusion. Try reading that document. I read as far as page 4 and my brain started to hurt. ""Active power (kW)=√3×U×IPCE×cosϕ=3×U0×IPCE×cosϕ" ... any sparky reading that is going to chuck it in the skip
is another book for them to make money from though - why not just sort the code of practice?

Battery packs installed against a stairway looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
Another book we have to buy that’ll we’ll never use!
The chances of you * accidentally* coming into contact with live wires on a railway are slim . That was indeed on purpose.
It's such a shame. 😟
There are some cases where it can happen though... eg child with a balloon, overhead catenery at 25kV.
Oh my gosh!!! 😮✨
PV stop FFS, how does that fit with safe isolation then, where do you put the padlock 😂😂

Batteries and inverters should be plug and play. Just read the manual

After forty years in the trade, your arm absolutely becomes torque calibrated.
@@markrainford1219 36, mine is close
@@markrainford1219 36 yrs here. started in early 89. Still use a proper torque driver of course but it's a feel you get
my whole body has become torque calibrated over the years
@@EdwardBretherton I feel you. not in that way
catfish and galoshes i think no idea what galoshes are seems like a weird word to have here so thats my idea behind it
Galoshes are a type of waterproof boots, I think.
