Hi Staffex, I laughed out loud when I read your post as its exactly the solution I have planned, even to the point of the same isolation transformer. I have not had much time recently so not got very far.
I did speak to Carroll & Meynell and they concider the concept would work. The Screwfix...
Hi Mg4forluxury
Regardless if you are powering the whole house or part of the house the earthing arrangement in the Uk (I assume Netherlands is similar) would not be adaquate. The problem is the car provides 220v but its a "floating" supply. This means its not referenced to earth and Neutal in...
Interesting thread and something I have been working on with my MG4. So this is what I have found so far hope it helps someone:-
a) when connecting the V2L connector (home made one) and selecting discharging in the car I get 226v between live and neutral.
b) measuring L to E voltage I get 186v...
Yes sorry corrected
Hi Coulomb the output is almost certainly an inverter but it provides a centre tapped output “like a centre tapped transformer” the mid point is where the earth is connected.
i came to the conclusion (rightly or wrongly) the V2L output is similar to a small inverter that...

Hi All
I have seen some very strange scheduled charging behaviour in my Trophy. I use Octopus Go tariff and charge the car from 00:30 to 04:30 and set the car to these times. Normally speaking this works fine however, occasionally the car will charge at different times without any reason to do...
Chased my White Trophy today That I was supposed to pick up Saturday just gone. Still at port apparently. They were able to give me the VIN number so I can just assume I have to be patient and one day it will arrive.
Difficult when I will have to get my son to drive me 150 miles to pick it up...
Ordered my white Trophy on the 11th Nov with anticipated delivery first or second week of Dec. Spoke to deeler yesterday and they confirmed they still have not received the car from the port. Apparently it’s a lottery when cars get transported from the port.
they were able to give me the VIN...
Nice info stageshoot ty for sharing.
have you tested your RCD’s in your house when you are on the V2L supply do they still disconnect the supply when you press the test button?
Hi guys since reading this thread I have been thinking how I can create a similar setup for my house as the original poster using V2L to supply my entire house. Stageshoot appears to have a TT earring system where as I have a TNCS earthing system. My house is approx 25 years old and the consumer...
Hi stageshoot, your setup is what i have been thinking about. My Trophy arrives in three weeks will be doing the same.
What size cable do you have in your Type 2 connector that goes in the car? Will it take a 6mm three core flexable cable?
