In this video I try and explain the issues I had with my Zappi charger draining my home battery.

By outlining how the various CT clamps work, I do my best to run through how the Zappi and Inverter get confused, which results in my battery draining itself into my EV.

I outline the solution I found online, the changes made to the wiring and discuss the end result! Spoiler: it was successful!

Video notes: The sound in this video isn't great as I was using my iPhone's microphone and was stood too far away. I didn't think to check the sound levels when editing the video together :(
