Okay I’ll start off by saying this is an off grid application.
I have a 6kw generator that has 240v output.
Ive ran hot1-hot 2 and ground from generator.
I disconnected the neutral from the generator power cable because I do not see a place to put the neutral on the inverter.
That leads me to question one.
Was I supposed to disconnect neutral from generator? Or am I supposed to do something else like supply generator power to a sub panel with hot1-hot2-neutral-ground and then add a 40amp breaker and have my two hot legs come from that breaker? Am I on the right track?
-I’ve got a single 100amp hour growatt axe 5.0 lithium ion battery.
-For the 6kw inverter it says a minimum of 200amp hours is recommended?
Does that mean I’m not gonna be able to power up my inverter without another 100amp hour battery?
-I was expecting to be able to power 4 lights a mini fridge and my tv with this temporarily until I get more batteries via charging with the generator.
Lastly supplying my panel with the ac output off the inverter would be hot1 -hot2 -neutral- and ground? Is this correct?
