  • Post in thread: DIY Home Battery Backup System Question (EG4 6500EX + Transfer Switch

    I have the same setup, I wired the EG4 directly to the Transfer switch, you will not need the generator connectors.
  • Post in thread: Will This setup create some kind of Loop ?

    Ok, so I connected the AC input and everything seem to be working good, I switch off the battery and the inverter switched right over to Grid input. I am also able to charge the battery from grid. Thank you all for your input.

    They are all 120v for now, I will add another Transfer switch for some 220v circuits

    I am awaiting an answer also on the Shared Neutral before I flip the switch ?

    The reason I stated 10 breaker is because I figure most folks know would know how a transfer switch is hooked up. The wires are removed from the breaker and connected to the transfer switch black wires.

    Yes, the Transfer switch is acting like a sub panel. When you say 10 circuits are removed what do you mean ? Here are some pics of the hook up. its been working fine for a while now. I am just now thinking about adding grid power to the inverter as a backup.

  • Post in thread: Stand-alone UPS always clicking

    I made a change to my Eg4 setting that seem to fix the light flickering and UPS flipping. Setting #10 is set to 120v as default, I change that setting to 127v and that seen to provide a steady voltage. Its been a few hours and no flickering or UPS clicking
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500 low voltage output. Tripping my UPS

    I replaced my growatt 3000tl ( needed more power) with a EG4 6500, I am now getting flickering lights and my UPS keep tripping. I measure my voltage from from the inverter and its 119v, but when I measure the voltage from the outlet its between 117v to 118v. This low voltage is causing my UPS...
  • Post in thread: Voltage sag on 3KW EG4 inverter - lights flickering, UPS beeps

    I am having the same issue with my eg4 6500, the low voltage is causing my UPS to trip, NEVER had this issue with my growatt, I measure the voltage from the eg4 and its only 119v. Can anyone change setting 10 on their EG4 inverter ? It will not let me change to 127v.
  • Post in thread: Stand-alone UPS always clicking

    I have the same issue with my 6500 :( I really do not want to remove the UPS. I did not have this issue with my Growatt inverters
  • Post in thread: Adding AC input to my off-grid setup

    My current off-grid setup includes 2 EG4 6500 in split phase going to a Reliance 10 circuit transfer switch then to my main panel. I am thinking of adding Grid input from the main panel to the EG4 ( GREEN LINE) so that I can grid charge my batteries for emergencies and also for when battery...
  • Post in thread: Will This setup create some kind of Loop ?

    Hi All. This is a simple diagram of my current setup. Solar/ Battery feeding power into my EG4 then to a transfer switch which is connected to 10 breaker in the panel. I am thinking of adding grid power ( Green line) to the EG4 so that I can charge the battery in case of storms or emergencies...
  • Post in thread: DIY Home Battery Backup System Question (EG4 6500EX + Transfer Switch

    The Transfer switch does connect to the neutral bar. Reason for connecting the inverters to grid is to charge battery during long clouds days and also for my time of use plan where I can charge for cheap at night.
