You are correct, I should have mentioned that leaving the inverter off when not needed, will require a changeover switch, or manual reconnection of devices (from mains to inverter output), which does kind of negate some of the benefits of the inverter. It is a bit like having a standby...

The inverter is designed to be left plugged in, with the batteries constantly topped up on float voltage, ready for use when the power fails. However, if you have a 24V system with 2 12V Lead Acid batteries in series, be very careful that your batteries do not get unbalanced. The more they get...

Our family is considering relocating to the KZN South Coast, to take advantage of very attractive property prices. As an extended family, we are looking at multi family units (5 or more bedrooms) and have recently looked at 2 large houses in Scottburgh. The two houses are very different – we...

Would you know if it is a T440P or T440S? Some subtle differences

@richjdavies We were about to pull the trigger on a R250k project. Kamstrup water meters and extensive plumbing The spec was for wireless Mbus meters. We have tested it and it works. At the last moment someone suggested using Sigfox and the project stalled. I think it is too soon to use...
