    EG4 Batteries, breakers, fusing, etc

    As I'm building a system using the EG4 48v, 100AH LiFePower4 batteries, I want to make sure I'm designing a safe implementation. In a post from March 9th, RichardfromEG4 confirmed that the built in breaker on the EG4 server rack batteries did trip providing adequate protection in the event of a...

    MPP LVX6048 with 2 pole manual transfer switch

    Yes, that's an option but then whomever is operating the unit needs to know to do one more thing...

    MPP LVX6048 with 2 pole manual transfer switch

    Thanks, that's helpful - I need to read up on ground fault detection. I can see how I could wind up with a voltage potential on the ground conductor.

    MPP LVX6048 with 2 pole manual transfer switch

    I read through that whole thread yesterday. That one is why I concluded that a transfer switch that switches neutral is likely the best solution. In the second linked post though, FilterGuy confirms that using the 2 pole transfer switch and "screw removal method" of defeating the internal N-G...

    MPP LVX6048 are the Neutral and Ground bonded inside when using only battery input?

    I've read a number of other threads. Looks like the best answer for any of these inverters that bond the neutral and ground internally is an automatic transfer switch that switches neutral. I'll started a separate thread for my specific situation so as not to bog this one down...

    MPP LVX6048 with 2 pole manual transfer switch

    Looks like the best answer to my question is to retrofit a transfer switch that switches the neutral as well as both lines but there's still a couple of things I'm not sure I've got my head wrapped around and maybe a couple of options I haven't thought of. I'm planning to use an MPP LVX6048 with...

    MPP LVX6048 are the Neutral and Ground bonded inside when using only battery input?

    If I'm understanding this correctly then a power outage will cause a ground loop???? If I'm bonded at the main panel per code but lose the AC mains, then the inverter automatically bonds N-G internally so now I've got 2 N-G bonds. Or does the inverter sense continuity between neutral and...
