Thanks. I took advice from before and I’m looking up clamp meters

Thank you both for the help! I’ll probably just do the 50 amp to help future proof the system.

hi everyone! I’ve been learning a ton from YouTube and reading everything I can on here. I’m putting in a new solar project and I think I have it figured out except one part. Im putting 12 480 watt panels connected to an eg4 6500ex and a power pro 14kwh battery. My issue is I would like to have...

When I’m doing a wire gauge calculator do you just use the max amps from the transfer switch? if I were going to use the reliance 30 amp pro Tran 2

last question on this, if the largest breaker I’m moving over is 20 amps, the 30 amp switch is fine right? Even if I have all 6 of the breakers in use and they are all 15 and 20 amp breakers I won’t run into any trouble? Just need to keep the individual breakers below 30 amps?

So if I were doing a mini split, refrigerator, a small chest freezer, as well as a couple lights would the 50 amp switch be a better choice? Also, thanks for the help with my other questions

I just started calculating. I bought a killawatt meter. The freezer used 1400 watts in a full day with the highest surge at 85 watts and the fridge is going to be around 4000 watts. Not sure on the mini split as I’m going to order it with the other components. I don’t think I’m going to hook up...

Thanks for the info. I guess where I’m getting confused is figuring out the amps needed for each appliance. I have put a watt meter on and over a 24 hour period one used 1500 watts and the other was about 2500. but I’m not sure how to figure out the amps. Everything is 120 volts. I probably just...

Thanks for the info. I was using that formula but the numbers on the freezer didn’t seem right. It was coming out to lest then .5 amps. But after doing some googling that seems right.
