Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

Solar looks low unlike the last time when it was high during -4 to -1 savings session in day adjustment period.

So just to make sure I understand this nonsense - with the session starting today at 17:30, you would do as much of your electricity usage as you can during the 13:30-16:30 period?

100% correct. Just make sure you've also opted in with your supplier. If you're with Octopus it's very easy.

Cool thanks, looks like there will be very little from the solar today so I’ll just top up the packs during that period rather than later.

Light it up boys and girls

Watch you don’t melt the main fuse

 

[john_smith]

I think it self regulates. There's only 1.7 going into the battery and she'll take 5.

I’m on about the one into the house pulling 17kW

I hope the same rules apply to Hugo users as I've just plugged the car in @ 47p a kWh

 

[Freefaller]

I'm sure 100A fuse can cope with that

Yeah, I can throw anything at the fuse. I think it's solid metal.

The PW must ramp up slowly intially, we're glowing now

Solar currently screwing me by generating 3.3Kw grrrr

Thoughts and prayers. I’ve added a temp profile pic on my socials. Lol

Just hit 12.7kw. Much more and I'll pop the fuse.

Will do the other oven once the first one finishes. Fortunately it's exactly a 1:30 cycle.

That’s what I’m packing. No idea what the theoretical max kHh that can sustain. A quick google didn’t give a conclusive answer.

 

[Hawk Tuah]

A quick google states that 14.4kw is a 60a fuse. So I'm staying under that.

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Yeah think a normal house is about 21-23kw based on 100A fuse

Tumble on, dishwasher on, washing machine on, 2x tablets charging, phone charging, fan heater instead of GFCH, even charging my drill batteries

 

[Freefaller]

240V x 100A = 24kW... but that's really simplified, not taking into considering power factor and so on...

 

[Simon]

240V x 100A = 24kW... but that's really simplified, not taking into considering power factor and so on...

And now he’s pulling 28kW and uk grid is more like 230v. I was kind of joking but I wonder how long 120A can be held before the inlet manifold caused the floor to fall down
