I have a couple of questions that I can't not seem to get my head wrapped around. I will be hiring an election for this, but do like to understand things fairly well so I can talk with the election somewhat intelligently and also not be ripped off.
I purchased the Multiplus II 48/500/70-95 120v and will be having it tied in via a 30 amp, 6 circuit transfer switch. I am only going to run some essentials and have maybe 5 rooms connected to the transfer switch, but will be running those things off my batteries/solar on a daily basis.
The manual says to run AWG 2 with 95 A breaker (I will not be using power assist as I will likely never even come close to the regular output of the unit). I also will not be using the AC 2 output.
The AC in has a L1, PE, N. Since I will be running on the inverter side of things always, I am not looking to do any power pass through either. So would it be ok to just use a smaller AWG and then use a 70 amp breaker to match the wire size? I would only be using around 50a to charge the batteries on cloudy days at night. (I have 4 5.12kWh EG4LL-s batteries)
Any suggestions to my inverter setup above that you might would suggest to change?
