  • Post in thread: Newbie here, questions on proper grounding of DIY home system

    I don’t plan on using AGM batteries, what I have are LiPO4 batteries, but I do intend to make use of the AC and DC rated breakers already present and battery harnesses. As to the mains inputs to the chassis and then inverter, I’ll have to be very certain of any bonding and grounds that may...
  • Post in thread: Ungrounded system - ground main panel?

    If the inverter output is transformer center tap coupled to provide split phase 120/240 how does an earth ground come into play if this transformer side is isolated from earthed ground input side. You have both line L and Neutral N (center tap) but do you really have a true earth ground, unlike...

    You really should avoid combustibles like plywood, great for telco, basic stuff, but the inverter puts out heat and besides that if something shorts out and catches fire you don’t want the wood nearby. If on a wood surface instead of concrete you might want to use a metal thick backplate to...

    The included inverter generates its own heat, in a closed enclosure it would keep batteries from freezing, in Summer at 115 outside that could be a greater issue baking the contents. What you are referring to are moving parts and lubrication and stress issues like planes deal with like when ice...

I plan to reuse the enclosure for my Solar Hardware and Batteries (already wired for 3 banks of (4) 12v AGM batteries with cable harness). But...
