Want to keep the other inverter for a backup and not quite ready to buy the second AIO yet but hopefully soon. So just going to use the extra inverter seperate from the panel for now and for when I am needing extra energy. Thanks though for saying the obvious I was trying to do a little too much...
The sunset act in texas is the legislation governing plumbing law for all plumbing in Texas it doesn't matter which hidden corner you are in. Enforcement of said law is executive branch of government different branch of government if no local executive branch it doesn't mean I can't call in...
I was not speaking towards the technical aspect of the switch but the legality of the consideration of off-grid vs on-grid. All I know is what business owners and professionals have told me in Texas and when and where you have to follow all electrical codes in Texas.
Yes I have three threads going and it was a mistake but I hope to get your help anyways. I would delete the other two threads if it would allow it. It won't be the first mistake I made in my life.
Also I am trying to be as communicative as possible. I am not an Electrician and I have thrown...
Because "solar" is a way of describing an electrical system that runs off of a certain source of electricity all electrical codes and laws apply to "solar" just like they apply to coal, oil, nuclear, hydro, windfarm or bicycle with alternator means of producing electricity. I think what you are...
I understand what you are saying and why.
ultimately if I don't find anything else to address the actual issue I am having then I may work out this connection and see if it helps. However I have already ruled this out as being central to the issue. As in I am having the same problem with or...
My system is on a vehicle. 48v with 10kw battery bank 2kwh solar array main power source. Currently wiring in 4 20 amp 110v circuits using 2 different inverters that are not compatible with each other. Both inverters are 5kw continuous pure sine wave. 1 inverter is a hybrid. I am wanting to use...
Especially you you just attack me and say that you are going to take my ideas. That is not to disrespect a couple who attempted to help however complex issues are not solved by generic answers
Since I have been looking into this I reworked all my ground wires which I had initially had...
1. As I have said multiple times I have already bonded neutral and ground in the panel once one of the other guys who already knows everything told me to.
2. Grounding my truck, and trailer I am willing to do just haven't seen other rvs with solar equipment or generator have to do that when...
In Texas off grid is legal without permit up until the transfer switch. However that switch tied in makes the whole project necessary for an electrical permit and following inspection. As a homeowner there is a way to pull your own plumbing permit I know for sure and would also assume there is...
The current is still flowing even with the breakers completely removed but less then 1 amp so it leads me to believe that the hybrid unit is pushing it between the ground and line connection.
Of course there are ways around that if technically it doesn't do anything structural to your home such as putting the panels in the yard. Or using a solar generator.
The type of mounting would be building code and building permit as those are structural questions. It doesn't matter if you are going to build a structure with a solar roof or any other type of roof that falls under building code.
It is one of the cheapest Chinese units. PowMr I doubt they would warranty it but even if they did how many months until they exchange it? How risky do you think it would be to just let it ride? 60 w leak not grounded just give me a good wake up call when i touch the vehicle while I am grounded.
Ok so obviously I am misunderstanding what you mean by ground because i would see if the other rvs were setting up some grounding/earthing rod around the generator when they camp overnight in a parking lot next to me. What do you mean by grounding?
Do you mean bond the metal to my grounding line? I haven't done that and just thought that would be bad but I am going to try if you say. Sorry about being a little rude I have just spent many days trying to find a solution to this problem and everyone has been pretty rude and cocky with me on...
So additional issues have surfaced before I even have a solution to this issue. I actually am using this on a small trailer and the power is feeding my extended cab pickup truck that I have turned into a vanlife style rv for myself.
I wired the house like a home and have 2 circuits that I hook...

Thank you sir! that is the first time that has been suggested and makes alot of smarts to me. I will do that and test but already see that as the solution.
It also occurs to me because of the way I wired all this with individual wires not like romex the lack of proper insulation may be causing...
