Gundog reacted to Coulomb in Inverters in Parrallel ?? Volts and Kw's ??I thought we were all going to brown (L1), black (L2), grey (L3) and light blue for neutral. Most mains cords here in Australia have used the brown and light blue for decades.
The biggest hassle has been the USA using black for active and white for neutral, when so many countries use black for neutral. Australia uses white for an active, so that's completely opposite to the USA convention.

Gundog reacted to ___ in what voltage are you running? 220V / 230V / 240V?Far as I know all electrical motors and anything with a switch mode PSU will compensate a lower voltage with a higher current, so there is little advantage to running at 220. Only the resistive appliances will use less, like the geyser, stove and kettle, and they also take longer to do their job when they run at the lower voltage so that there is no benefit. The only thing this worked with, back in the day, was incandescent lamps... and we're well past those.
So I run at the standard 230. Well, I'm mostly grid tied these days so more like 237 :-)
