Thanks for the link - I do look at IET forums sometimes but you can go down several rabbit holes.....

Even so, had a quick perusal and it just gets worse and worse....

Scenario (I've made up but one we can all think of):

Person in high rise apartment buys cheap plug in solar off ebay. Sticks it on balcony, propped up facing the sun. Lead won't reach 13A sock...

Unless I'm missing something fundamental I see another problem.
The photo Anam posted suggests that the user simply plugs the device into a convenient socket and the PV panel supplies the juice directly to the relevant ring.
Leaving aside the circuit protection issue that Bill correctly identified, what's to stop anyone (a curious child maybe) unplugging it and getting zapped by the live...

Plug-in Solar supposedly going to be 'easier'?

Discussion.

Good to know.

At the start of the Vietnam war, there were circa 16000 US 'advisors' in the country.

Now there is talk of 10000 US troops being ready for deployment, should a 'limited' invasion be undertaken in Iran.

The sign posts going in look pretty clear to me.

The sign posts for coming out again aren't even visible.

There seems to be a growing grim inevitable reality, about the n...

I can see two problems with these plug in systems:

1. The solar supply often wouldn't be enough for switched on appliances so the connected ring main would start drawing from the grid. There could be potential wiring overload because the solar doesn't connect through the ring's MCB so would just add to the ring current.

2. As I see it, because the solar plugs directly into the ...

Thank you Stuart, for your quick reply.

Question: Where do I find one of those fastener lists please?

Cheers to you too
Anton

Yeah it is - the casting around the lower fixing on the front port touches the standard exhaust system.

The reason I tried it was to get away from the standard manifold is the large chamfer on the front of the manifold must cause havoc for the airflow going into the engine.

Not sure where to go with this - I don't want to spend a fortune on a new manifold, I think I have some low tem...

I think the Mini manifold was a bit shorter, in order to clear the bulkhead. Also angled at 30 degrees instead of 20.

Anton,

According to the various XPAG Fastener lists those 2 bolts are 8-1mm, 3/4" long with a 1/4" Whitworth head.

cheers
