Typical drawing to tie in Inverter to DB

[HowTo]

Hi all

I'm looking for a typical drawing to tie in Inverter Sunsynk to current DB.
Essentials vs non-essentials.
Google does not tell me much. Specially when you power up via inverter.

Tnx in advance.

I would install a separate DB for the essentials. The inverter will have two wires providing the AC, this gets wired the same way in a DB as if it was grid power. If you want to power the essentials from the grid you will need a changeover switch.

I like DIY and tinkering like the next man but with such an expensive equipment rather get someone in the know.

Anyway, the official installer manual should have something you need.

Depends on system size if you have a big enough system like mine run everything oven/induction hob/geyser everything on essential.

Hi all, I am finally getting round to making this thread. After loads of research and another bout of load shedding I finally decided to pull the trigger and load shed Eskom. Prior to going solar I already had all the lights on LEDs, house is kitted with energy efficient appliances and...

Item essentially becomes non essential by not switching it on if you really need to push battery for example.

For example LS is happening you on 10% battery dont switch on the oven, there is no grid anyway to help so doesnt matter

Ok changeover switch sounds like hazel. It seems you have to flick the switch over.
It should be done automatically.
Esdom 220V AC then the inverter 220V AC sounds like conflict. Drawing should make it clearer.

Agree.

Anyway, the official installer manual should have something you need. Were can you down load anywhere.

A video is even better. Good that you are so interested to learn but I will also emphasize that you don't sound like someone up to task of DIYing the install.

Got this one the other day from the forum

I t seems this on does have two separate DB. (Earth leakage etc) Expensive way!

It's not that complicated.

Sunsynk has an Input, Output and Aux connector.

Your current Eskom line coming into the DB will get redirected.
Usually to a separate breaker, then to the Sunsynk Input (with a breaker inline) like your diagram above.

The output from the Sunsynk will then go to the DB. so Eskom -> breaker -> Sunsynk -> DB

Then everything will be powered by the Sunsynk assuming it has some battery to use.

If you want to power non-essentials then wire those to the Aux connector on the Sunsynk, and configure that to turn on for appropriate battery / solar levels.

If you want some things to only come on when Eskom is on, then wire those up separately on the Eskom side before you get to the Sunsynk.

That is my diagram, yes I have 2 separate DBs.

If you use that as a reference, get an electrician to verify that. That circuit needs a separate neutral bar for anything connected to the changeover output
