Inverter Install Compliance

[Pieter00]

What about a 2 pole circuit breaker on the inverter input and output side? And cable size on the AC side due to the charge current that the controller is set at?

I also recently had a client ask me to install a inverter that chargers batteries from both mains and solar (not doing the solar now but wanted the option there) I checked the rating plate and see that the max current for the inverter is 30 amps. Having space in the cupboard where his 2 existing db’s are already installed I went ahead and installed a 32amp double pole breaker (so it acts as both a overcurrent protection and isolator) I then fed a short run of 4mm twin and earth to the inverter. Then from the inverter I took another 4mm twin and earth feeding to a small db with a 25 amp double pole breaker feeding a earth leakage which in turns feeds a 20amp breaker. From this 20amp breaker i installed a new plug circuit in his house with red dedicated plugs at his 2 tv’s his dstv decoders,alarm,cctv and his wifi router. I know the red dedicated plugs is a bit of an overkill but he wanted an easy way to identify which plugs is on the inverter so that nothing unnecessary gets plugged into them and that was the easiest solution. I still need to go apply labels and seeing as everyone is talking of a indicator light I will probably have to look at installing some kind of led light to show that its live.

Error codes vary by make and model on inverter.
What make and model of inverter is it?
And/or what is error code 2 according to the manual?
