Except the 6000xp does generate the 2 legs separately but 180 degrees out of phase, from what I read somewhere…Not quite.
It's split-phase 120/240v. Which is single phase, with a center tap.

That is what I am thinking but needed confirmation. Is that correct, rn another lead from the neutral in the main panel?Wow so the Growatt 60000 does only take L1/L2/Ground, no neutral. Guess @D. Abineri will need to run a neutral from source to 6000XP.

Yes, seems like you need to run a neutral wire from your panel where the other conductors come from to the 6000XP.That is what I am thinking but needed confirmation. Is that correct, rn another lead from the neutral in the main panel?
THANK YOU ALL!Yes, seems like you need to run a neutral wire from your panel where the other conductors come from to the 6000XP.
Not sure how to test this without damaging something.You are the second person to ask about running this unit in straight 240 volt mode, they should be checking where they are shipping these things to.
I am not sure there is an answer to this question but it would be quite easy to set up a test and find out.
But surely the black and red are 240v?I don't think that they are wanting straight 240v.
I think that they are confused about what they need.
Residential electric service in the U.S. is 120 volts on each of the two legs.But surely the black and red are 240v?
If you don't have one, highly recommend you get volt/amp meter. You need to test.But surely the black and red are 240v?
Correct L1 black, L2 black with a red marker or all red. Neutral is white.But surely the black and red are 240v?
They're not out of phase. They are single phase with a center tap for the neutral. The two halves are generated separately (two inverters in one enclosure).Except the 6000xp does generate the 2 legs separately but 180 degrees out of phase, from what I read somewhere…

Just when I think I’m getting things right, I’m confused again… ?They're not out of phase. They are single phase with a center tap for the neutral. The two halves are generated separately (two inverters in one enclosure).
But they are in phase with each other. Otherwise they couldn't produce 240v.
How does split phase work without the transformer?
The inverter generates both legs separately but 180 degrees out of phase from each other.
It's misinformation. (Because the Chinese manufacturers don't understand split-phase)Just when I think I’m getting things right, I’m confused again… ?
So how do I rectify what you are saying with what EG4’s FAQ says about the 6000XP:
Doesn’t that basically mean the 6000XP produces 2 phase 240 rather than split phase?
