I am looking for recommendations and advice on my Inverted Load Centre panel and breakers for my remote Solar Generator Project using a single SW4048. I have also purchased the Schneider A/C and D/C panels designed for the SW line as part of the setup, looks neat and tidy this way.
I am planning to purchase a Schneider Load Centre, probably a 70A panel being fed from remote DIN rail mounted 30A 2-Pole Inv-Out breaker that comes with the Conext A/C box from factory. L1-L2 out will feed each side of the panel for multiple 120V receptacles I am installing. Inv-Out Neutral conductor will be wired to common Neutral Bus Bar in A/C box (common with Inv-Input Neutral feeding Charging side) and then to Load Centre Neutral as Schneider confirmed this is how to do it. Neutral-Ground will not be bonded in Load Centre, this will be taken care of at Input side using either a Dummy Plug when charging from solar or Grid Input if connected and charging from Grid.
Questions:
1) I didn’t get a feeling like the Schneider technical rep I spoke to about my setup was all that competent… Can anyone confirm they have wired the Inv-In and Inv-Out neutrals on the same Neutral bar installed in the Schneider A/C box and this worked ok? Just want to make sure I don’t damage anything by doing this incorrectly.
2) With respect to breakers, do I need to purchase the more expensive QOU A/C-D/C breakers, or can I use the more readily available and cheaper QO breakers in my Inverter Load sub-panel? These are the ones I’m looking at if they are acceptable for reference: https://www.se.com/us/en/work/products/explore/dual-function-circuit-breakers/
Thanks everyone.
