    Scarlock got a reaction from Energy-Jason in Split DB Illegal?   
    Hello,
    I am doing the final planning for a solar backup system and have been told that all my AC breakers cannot be housed in the same physical DB, as it would contravene the SANS codes.
    I was told that "you cannot have more than one source of power" in a single DB, but this makes no sense because you have to have multiple "sources" for a selector or changeover. As I do not have a copy of the SANS I cannot verify what is and is not actually allowed in my DB.
    I have attached a quick system diagram, and would like to know if it is possible to legally house all my AC breakers in one large DB box, and if so what rules I need to follow.
     
    Any insight would be great.WD01-1.pdf
     
    Thanks

    Thanks for the explanation!
    It makes much more sense now and it looks like it is just "easier" for my electrician to just insist on a separate DB by "bending the truth" a bit...  unfortunately for him I don't take kindly to bovine excrement...
    Time to rewire the main DB 😁
