Thanks for the info. Ill give them a call later this morning.

Hi All, looking for anyone who has stock of a Greenrich UPS5000 battery cabinet. Item Wanted: Greenrich Battery Cabinet Packaging Essential: Preferrably brand new Desired Age: NEW Location: Gauteng Willing to accept a shipped item: Prefer Pickup from Buyer Ballpark/Budget Amount: +- R3000

So everything on the 13KVA is under essential. No non essential loads setup.

Another question from myside, would the CT coil placement be the same for a 13KVA 3phase setup? Or, does this look correct? Sorry if im going off topic.

So i have Zero Export and Priority load ticked, and the system works as it should be. Pushes back the excess PV onto the Non Essential load. Going to have the neutral earth bond done, @Leshen has been a great help so far...

And theirs the spanner... 😵 Time to get someone else in here to inspect. All that was done was add the clamp.

CT clamp has been installed, once Eskom is back ill be able to test the system... Thanks for all the input on the matter.

That is a good question... Will find out tomorrow when i see the installer...

Yeah im based in the Westrand. The installer is coming through tomorrow. If he doesnt fix it, ill contact them. Still holding onto the balance, so if i need to pay someone else to fix his @#$% up, so be it...

Thank you.

So just out of curiosity, i went to have a peak at my system, no CT clamp installed... 🤬

Thanks for the feedback. Installer doesnt have time for this, so can anyone reccommend a certified installer to check out my system?

Thanks for the replies. Is my logic correct that the system should read the load when the geyser is switched on, and if enough PV and Eskom available it will push back to non essential loads? In this case, only the geyser? This wasnt a fly by night installer who installed the system. For the better part it works, we didnt have power for 2 days, and it got me through. So for that part, it works, its just this whole push back to non essential and CT clamp that is annoying me, since i know im not getting the most out of the PV system in the afternoon when the load on the house is low.

Evening all, End user here, seeking some clarity on my recent installation. 5KVA Sunsynk Inverter, 1 Greenrich 5000 battery, 6x 555W panels. System is split into essential and non essential loads, with geyser and stove being on the non essential side. As i understand, the inverter can direct excess PV power to non essential loads when Eskom is on and the essential loads arent drawing all the available PV power. Im a fairly light user, during the morning the washing is done, and the kettle gets boiled for coffee, for the better part of the afternoon, the PV powers the house hold, which is around 200-400w. Like today, PV system has generated up to 2800w while busy with loads, and for the rest of the afternoon its basically powering nothing apart from the essential loads. My installer mentioned the CT clamp is below the inverter, and from what i have read, it needs to be closer to the DB, where the feed into the house is coming from the grid. As per the diagram in the manual. In my mind, and correct me if im wrong, if my house is using 400W, and my PV can generate 2800w during that point in time, if i were to switch on my geyser, the inverter should direct that potential PV to the geyser. However when i did that today, nothing changed, house was still pulling 400ish watts. Nothing changed on the grid, pv or battery display. CT reading below is zero, not matter what settings in the system mode, currently have Zero Export and Priority Load ticked. With trickle feed set to 20w with inverter power limiter set to 0. Flow diagram - nothing changes in terms of pushing back to the non essential load, can change settings till i'm blue in my face... Basically want to know if my logic of how the power should be used is correct, or completely off. Like i mentioned, i believe the CT clamp is in the wrong postioin, installer telling me its right and i shouldnt believe whats on the SS Facebook group or what i have read here on the PF. Before i go move the geyser to essential, with a timer to manage my load, which i dont want to do if it can be doing with it on non essential. Thanks in advance.
