  1. Good day to all I am preparing and mounting components required for an Inverter and Battery installation before our electrician will come to finalize the installation. I have a few questions regarding the MCB for the Inverter (Inverter Output) on the Essentials side. The Sunsynk Datasheet for a 5.5KW model states a Max Continuous AC Pass-Through current of 35A. May I assume that this will still be the Max Pass-Through current when the Grid is active? If so... the manual states a 32A breaker on the essentials side but would a 35A be good or would I rather stick to the 32A breaker? My house is wired in a rather limited way with only 2 lights breakers and 2 plugs breaker which limits my choice of plugs to put on the Essentials side without re-wiring. I will of course have a ChangeOver switch between Grid, Inverter and Essentials Side. If I move both plugs breakers to the Essentials side but still wanted to not limit myself when having the Grid power the Essentials Side (Grid selected on ChangeOver) then could I put the Inverter Output Breaker (35A) before the ChangeOver but have a 63A breaker after the ChangeOver? Wiring will obviously match the breakers required. See attached image. Thank you
  2. Good day to all I would like to mount another DB board for an Inverter and Battery installation but I am unsure about the placement of the DB and trunking. The original DB is sunken and the new one will be surface mount. How close is the new DB allowed to be to the original DB? Can I put trunking between the two DBs or does the wires between the two DB have to be subsurface? Can I put trunking to the side of them or in between? Which one is allowed if not both? Thank you Below is my original DB and meter with an inside view . Maybe place it with trunking to the side? . Or with trunking between?
