Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them
ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoThey detect incoming frequency, not voltage. And yes, they absolutely detect the difference, I have one, it works exactly like this.

How do you detect the frequency of voltage that doesn’t exist?
ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I mean…if there is no grid frequency detected it automatically breaks connection between the house and the grid and keeps supplying the house from the panels and batteries. When it detects grid frequency again it reconnects the house to grid. It’s a fairly simple concept.

Why are you replying to me to explain basic concepts while ignoring the question that I asked?

If there’s no grid, there’s no connection to the grid to break. So that non-connecton will remain in the broken state.

So you do realize that this is exactly how HV wire detectors work right lol… You hold up a wire (or there’s a wire in the wall) carrying high voltage, and the wand will pick up the EM Field.

Right. What’s the typical frequency of the EMF field generated by a piece of wire?

What are waves if not frequencies?
