  • Yeah it makes no sense, yet it’s so much fun when stuff finally works like it should!

    Everybody loves using Jellyfin at home, but they think I’m mad for spending countless hours setting up everything the first time, then a second time to improve, then a third time as I migrated HW.

    Keep having fun with it mate! The possibilities are endless





  • Most of Norway (my house included) is still stuck on IT, so 230V phase/phase.
    The only place it really sucks is for modern induction hobs where 25A @ 230V is a bit low (5,75 kW, max on mine is 7,2 kW) and the EV charge box (3,6 kW or 7,2 kW max instead of 11 or 22 kW).

    They are however changing to TN for new areas.

    Upside is that the earth current will be very small when you have a fault, so the system can function with it. I believe this is why critical institutions like hospitals run IT and not TN/TT.


  • Yeah I mean, there are ish 130 million households in the US. If your way of doing up wiring was so bad, you’d have fires everywhere all the time.
    It’s just a different way of doing it. Not better or worse, inherently.

    The only thing I thoroughly dislike that you guys do are wire nuts. I know I will piss of some American sparkies, but holy fudge they are crappy. When even the professionals can mess it up by twisting poorly/wrong, it’s bound to cause issues for less experienced people. Just use WAGO’s.

  • Comprehensive write up. Thanks for this!

    The main reason I went for it now was that the panel has been out a few years and the price is more in line with what I’d like to spend. I’m guessing this new tech will be quite costly to begin with?
    The early adopter tax thankfully no longer gives me a high, but I will read up on these and maybe they will be relevant next time around.
    Seems like interesting tech, for sure!
