Crazi098 reacted to Virwat in Changover switch on 3kw setupYour AC supply to the inverter comes from the bottom of the SPD, and not from the bottom of the 32A CB to the left of the SPD. (same place as where the SPD gets it's feed)
Surge protection devices does not have a in and out for L & N. Only got a L & N connection in and a earth connection(s) out.

Crazi098 reacted to Wimmas in Changover switch on 3kw setupThanks for the comment. Please advise with what you do not agree?
Understood, E/L will be installed as recommended.
I am a handy individual whom has not got problem with compensating for someone's knowledge. I have a problem paying or a fly by night who'd like to charge for something simple like mounting an inverter and battery.

Crazi098 reacted to Gnome in Recently scammed, need advice.I wouldn't use an Axpert in a solar configuration. Their UPS are great and arguable better than many other brands even. It is where they came from, they made UPS. ie. if you compare to a Sunsynk, the Axpert accepts a wider input voltage. They offer more options in terms of change-over time (ie. Axpert King can run in double conversion mode). UPS is their strength. I would be hesitant to go so far as say Sunsynk or Growatt is better in UPS capability. I haven't owned a Growatt but Sunsynk for example would be a downgrade for me from the UPS point of view (which is how I'm using my Axpert).
In my opinion, the Axpert MPPT is not worth it (or PWM, or any of their "solar" offerings) for use in Solar. Great as UPS, bad as a Solar. I mean it work(ish). But people who have had their Axpert inverters blow up were all running in Solar. Their engineering margins for the MPPT/PWM components seem to be really tight causing them to run at the limit and not last.
Just to be clear, I wouldn't buy another Voltronic UPS, I would still buy a Voltronic Axpert but treat it as a UPS. (Voltronic is the manufacturer, full circle solar and whomever else just make a big order and then get to put a name and logo on it)
Lastly the financial outlay for a UPS system vs a Solar system is pretty much an order of magnitude larger. You can get a UPS system as seen here for a good price. A solar system starts at 100k (and I could go into some detail as to why that would be a bottom of the barrel kind of system). It also has a much more significant installation burden.
I would just go Sunsynk or Victron if I were to go solar. I don't really trust these other brands for that sort of thing.

Crazi098 reacted to Gnome in Recently scammed, need advice.So to be clear, the OP wants a UPS, not a solar setup. Axpert works perfectly fine for that. I've been using an Axpert in that configuration since 2015. I've also installed Axpert in a couple of family/friend situations for that. And they are sold as power trolleys for a reason. DO NOT use their solar, it sucks, but as a UPS they are really solid

Crazi098 got a reaction from Modina in Recently scammed, need advice.Thanks Modina,
1. Yes, I reported it to my bank as well as the SAPS. Sadly money is long gone, but they will still be continuing with the investigation.
2. Most of the "sellers" details have changed. It is likely that they used someone else's identity, but considering they are still being investigated, I'd rather not say just yet.
