[QUOTE="Joules, post: 536314, member: 35656"] Let me try and explain. I have a mains powered hammer drill with a speed control wheel in the trigger. Its tech uses a type of rectifier called a thyristor which the wheel uses to control speed. This same tech is used in various makes of product to divert excess solar energy and may be in the one you have even though you say it came in a box marked Immersun. The tech used in the original Immersun and now its successor called [URL='https://myenergi.com/']Eddi[/URL] goes under the trademark name of [URL='https://myenergi.com/wiki/eddi/introduction-4/']Varisine[/URL] which has nothing to do with thyristor control of the exported power. The inventor of Varisine and patent owner is Lee Sutton who is co-founder and CEO of [URL='https://myenergi.com/our-story/']Myenergi[/URL] the company that makes the popular Zappi EV charger. There was an article late in 2016 in the [URL='http://www.electricalwholesalerawards.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/9153188.pdf']Scunthorpe Telegraph[/URL] that mentioned 4Eco the company that originally sold me my Immersun. The original [URL='https://www.immersun.co.uk/all-products']Immersun[/URL] product is still available at around £500 and appears not to be the one you have. Lee Sutton may be taking a royalty on his patent and this is partly why it is expensive. [/QUOTE]
