Yeah I want to have the peace of mind that it's safe, and also that I understand why it is safe. About the cable sizes, that's one other thing I noticed actually, the ones that came with the Renogy were o.k. but would be undersized slightly based on how I sized my other cables. Already planned...

Thanks, that's a good point, I've seen there are some modestly priced RCD testers out there. I think I've decided that the Renogy inverter I have is not designed for the use case I have in mind (i.e. running more than a single appliance) and I don't feel comfortable installing it with the...

Thanks, yeah it is very ambiguous! Unfortunately I tried to contact Renogy already for over a month, and they have not given me a single response on any channel. Tried through their support ticket system, and multiple emails to various different addresses I found, even the US one to ask for some...

Thanks for the response and yeah it's definitely something I'm taking seriously, I don't want to wire in the inverter until I can be comfortable in my mind that it's safe. I'm starting to kick myself that I didn't buy a more expensive Victron unit, as their documentation and customer support is...

Thanks, that's what I thought for hardwiring it. I guess some inverters with actual hardwire AC outputs are designed with doing hardwiring in mind whereas a smaller, cheaper inverter that has a single fixed plug on it is probably designed to be used in a simpler system. But if I'm just adding...

Hi all, I have an inverter with a single output socket (and no hardwire outputs), and it has very little information about how it is setup for grounding/bonding. I would like to have a couple of AC outlets run off the inverter so that I don't need to use an extension socket. I've been trying to...

Hi, I have a Renogy 1000W inverter, the UK model. It's listed here: https://uk.renogy.com/1000w-12v-to-230v-pure-sine-wave-inverter-with-ups-function/. The instructions for it are very sparse, and make no mention of grounding at all other than to show the grounding pin in the diagram. It does...
