First project back up generator this will eventually go in the rv.View attachment 218366View attachment 218367View attachment 218368
This works great used it to back feed my panel when I cut in the feeder taps.
Next the electrical planView attachment 218362
The neighbor came by and helped me hang the inverter and place the batteries Monday afternoon I was pretty excited so I stayed up all night wiring it up.
I've got 4 server rack batteries that will be going in the cabinet and waiting on some breakers.

Have generator interlock on breaker panel cover that acts as my transfer switch
And the disconnect I added outside is between the feeder tap and the inverter
I doubled the conductors on the load side of the inverter for ease of wiring into the 4 pole buss feed breaker
I mouse the stranded conductors with solid 14 or 20awg copper in oversized lugs to keep the strands from fanning out when you bear down on them. This works like a Farrell

Nice! How noisy is that in the kitchen(?)

I have a China cabinet that goes in front of it it's not too bad I think it maxxes out at 66db
Besides that kitchen only gets used like once or twice a year

I thought I was in ups mode come to find out was in off grid and found batteries almost down to 10% which is the factory grid recharge algorithm so force charged and set for 20% charge and off at 30% and set up a temp array.
Also started another project a mobile shop for projects and tinkering around the property.
All 18 panels are tied into the 18K under #1 and 2 mppt inputs.
I have a 3000lhv and server rack batteries to power mobile workshop
