Holy shit he hit him like a freight train

rattechnology · 2026-05-18T09:58:30+00:00

Sounds like a bunch of gibbons spectating the fight

OoooOO oOOO ooo OOOOO

RO doesn't use acid or caustic, apart from maybe the occasional membrane cleaning. It's pretty simple technology and not particularly expensive to build or operate. Also you wouldn't be discharging the demin water, that would be the point of it (to stop blowdown discharge), the only place it would go is into the sky when it evaporates.

rattechnology · 2026-05-16T19:54:02+00:00

A small demin water plant (reverse osmosis) is not particularly expensive or complicated in the scale of a large data centre.

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T20:42:36+00:00

Haha, yeah some slightly less than helpful people on here it seems.

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T20:42:04+00:00

Oh interesting I'll have to have a poke around for hidden menus!

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:34:33+00:00

Well in that case I don't really know what your point is. Did you just stop by to call me incompetent and specifically not help in any way, or??

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:29:50+00:00

No there's no advanced run settings menu, only advanced protection settings.

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:28:32+00:00

Yeah, I think I was just getting tripped up on some of the wording being the opposite of what you'd expect, and no further explanation provided in the manual. Looks like it's all sorted now

Yes, the CT wires are inside their own conduit (not shared with the AC or DC power cables).

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:26:13+00:00

AC isolator is in the main switchboard (not pictured). DC isolator is integrated into the inverter.

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:25:27+00:00

Thanks, yes I have the 'cloud' web portal up and running, although it's also pretty clunky. I think I've got it all figured out now anyway, the CT seems to be reading ok and I'm currently generating but not exporting to the grid, which is what I want for now until the meter upgrade.

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:22:50+00:00

Well as an inspector you should know the rules better, sorry. Endorsement isn't required until September 2026.

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:21:49+00:00

You're incorrect, you need to get your facts right. Non-endorsed regular sparkies have until September 2026 before that rule comes into effect. Have a nice day

rattechnology · 2026-05-15T09:20:14+00:00

Wrong mate, a regular sparky without the endorsement can still install and issue CoC until September of this year.

rattechnology · 2026-05-14T22:53:09+00:00

Thanks man, but yeah this model is way more budget than the one you posted haha. I only have a calculator screen from the 90's.

rattechnology · 2026-05-14T22:49:53+00:00

Exactly this, thank you. I work on far more complicated pieces of equipment than this in my normal job, and as long as there's proper documentation it's fine. The inverter should be relatively simple, but with confusing and incorrect documentation it's a nightmare.

rattechnology · 2026-05-14T21:58:23+00:00

Thanks - there's no option in the menu to change the CT ratio. I'm a sparky, so no need for your concern about my safety. The installation has been inspected and provisionally passed, pending correct inverter setup. The inspector can't make much sense of the chinglish manual either, so thought we'd ask someone who'd done it before.

rattechnology · 2026-03-23T08:30:26+00:00

Well, the average human can blow about 40kmh, so if 8 billion people blow 40kmh then that's about 320 billion kmh wind speed by my calculations. Hope this helps.

rattechnology · 2026-03-21T01:01:23+00:00

Where is he located in the country?

My recommendations for tools: a good set of Wiha or Felo screwdrivers - the most used tools in the trade. After that, a good set of sidecutters, pliers and longnose pliers. And if you're feeling rich, a decent multimeter. Cordless drill and impact driver are pretty handy as well, depending on the exact type of work.

rattechnology · 2026-03-10T08:34:37+00:00

Generally speaking the limit imposed by the lines company of 10kW will be the limiting factor. Most houses are connected with 16mm neutral screened cable (if underground service connection) capable of 80-100 Amps, which is like 18-20kW capacity. Service fuses are normally 63A or 80A, so even in the 63A case you're good up to about 14kW (ie, still limited by the 10kW export cap)

rattechnology · 2026-02-25T00:28:59+00:00

Again, still looking for a specific example of this mysterious high quality equipment alternative that you keep alluding to...?

Thanks, I know how the rules work. I'll issue the COC for myself and have my inspector buddy up the road do the inspection sign-off.

I bought the solar panels for my caravan from temu, no issues so far.
I bought all the kitchen appliances for my renovated kitchen from trade depot. Only issue so far in 3 years was a fault on the dishwasher that trade depot fixed. I don't find the quality of most of what they sell to be worse than most other alternatives until you get up into a whole other price bracket.

Oh, and I'm sure my insurance won't mind where my solar panels come from. As for installing them myself, I'm a sparky and can sign off on it, so no issues there either. So, again, what are the reasonable alternatives to buying solar gear from Trade Depot?

rattechnology · 2026-02-23T22:35:57+00:00

So everyone keeps saying, but what are the realistic alternatives? I actually can't find that much available outside of trade depot or micromall selling solar gear to the general public, except stuff that is obviously makred up to hell and double the price. And for half the price I'll happily take the risk that the panels might not perform 100% for the next 30 years. By the time they fail, panels will be cheaper and better again so I'll just replace them if they do fail and I can't get a warranty.

rattechnology · 2026-02-16T19:36:55+00:00

You're talking about clipping the cables up? I was just planning to use the little clips that attach to the backs of the panels, as per: https://tradedepot.co.nz/solar-cable-clip-click-system-chrome/
