Looking to insure my weekend electrical work (I work during the week for a company).
Just wanting to get some insurance coverage. Anyone using a good broker they can recommend?
Under 100k PA. Residential work.
QLD based if it matters.
Cheers
Yesterday, my Iotawatt power monitor disconnected from my wifi and HA.
I reset the unit and it seemed to reconnect and start working again.
Then this morning it's done the same thing.
The unifi Ap is about 6m from the Iotawatt (although has a brick wall between them.
The unifi app shows it being connected, although it looks like possibly low signal? But this thing only needs very low speeds to transmit the basic data.
Any suggestions on what I could do?
I've attached screenshots
Not sure, but I think this is the right place to ask this question, as even though its mains electrical, its more about the electrical theory and electronic design.
I've got a Bluetti Power system that has 11.5kW output capacity. However this output is split between two separate outlets.
Some quick important info:
The system is 3x Bluetti Apex 300 Units combined through a Hub A1 parallel box. (https://www.bluettipower.com.au/products/hub-a1-parallel-box?srsltid=AfmBOop-0BNH64ZWPYZSL4uOuZKlVZXb3js5uHoljFaOFgb0EW5YjJ74)
I am located in Australia, so voltage is 230v 50hz.
While I am a qualified electrician, I am not an engineer. So this is getting a little beyond me, and I need some adult supervision. I know how to work safely, and I work with everything up to 11kV in my day job.
So after pulling the Hub A1 apart, it appears that each outlet is separately fused (one 20A and one 32A). I was desperately hoping to be able to wire this unit directly into a 50A Sub board.
I assume that paralleling the outputs into a single Main switch, will result in a even split in current draw, meaning when we hit around 40A, the 20A outlet will trip, shifting the load to the 32A. This will then spike to 40A on that outlet, tripping it as well.
Do I have any options to get the full 50A out of this thing?
I'll upload some internal photos.
You can see the PE and N are common, with the Live having resettable trip relays per outlet.
Any ideas on where I can head with this?
Thanks for any guidance I can get.
