| @indevolt-tech When you say 'dedicated switched fused spur' is that a dedicated spur of a ring main (ie on the load side of the CU) as suggested by your text. I had understood that microgenerators ha... | ||

RE: Minimum system volume
By JamesPa, 2 weeks ago |
|
| Agreed. Manufacturers minimum is just enough in theory to avoid a defrost death loop. I cant understand the thermodynamics of that unless you have fancoils or a house with a very low heat cap... | ||

RE: Electricity price predictions
By Majordennisbloodnok, 2 weeks ago |
|
| I'm very much grounded in systems too, so I think we're viewing things in the same way. However, I'm well aware many terms have an implied meaning well beyond their logical definition; let's face it, ... | ||
