Check My Wiring Diagram...Please, I Really Need Help

[ManKzin]

Please Check my work.

i need someone to tell me what Ground Wire size to use for both the Inverter side and PV side. To add I have all the systems grounding going to one 8' Grounding Rod, which will be at least 10' away from my house ground wire OIR can i place my ground rod a little over 2' away from the house's? Read or saw a video where some one said that, though i thought it had to be at least 6' away,

Part list is after my wiring diagram.

Please Recommend Grounding Wire Size and Where to Purchase

The class T fuse block is inadequate- that style class T is 2ka to 3ka good for lead acid not lfp.

Use these instead - expensive but you should never need to replace it if sized right

Blue Sea Systems 5502 Class-T Fuse Block 225-400A

Blue Sea Systems 5118 Fuse A3T (Class T) 250 Amp

For the main battery disconnect you should really use something like this - the small switches will get hot when running full current for the inverter through it.

I'll look at the rest tomorrow when at a real computer verse the tablet and give you wire sizes... but try for yourself

Take the current you expect to see in a given wire... multiply that current by 1.25 then look it up in the table on this page - click the table below the picture to expand it. Your wire lengths should be short enough not to worry about voltage drop. That tells you size.

If you are doing this in a boat the tinned pure copper wire is better.

grounding for lightning strikes and grounding for shorts are two different things. read up on code. when grounding for shorts, ground wire only needs to be able to carry enough current for the time it takes to trip an ocp device, so is typically allowed to be one size smaller than the current carrying conductors in that circuit.

Swap your PV fuse box and disconnect switch. That way if you need to replace or test the fuses you can turn off the power to the fuse block and not have to deal with PV voltage on the fuse terminals

Might be worth moving the lithium charger down to the battery's 600a buss bar. That way you can turn off the power to the inverter and DC loads but still charge your batteries if they run low. Maybe even the SCC too. Or have one disconnect for the charging sources and another for loads. That way you can turn off the loads if your bank gets low but still allow the bank to charge back up

When wiring the batteries in parallel, make sure to wire them first in last out or sometimes called reverse return. This will balance the current from each battery even if you don't have the same wire lengths to each battery

I didn't read through all of your post. Just briefly looked at the diagram
