The Homestead 608 reacted to jumper in neutral earth bond and electrocution during loadshedding - sunsynkHi Merlinda, just for a little background; during loadshedding, the Neutral (N) and Earth (E) coming out of the inverter need to be bonded together for safety, but after loadshedding this bond needs to be automatically broken as Eskom provides a bonded N&E.
Most inverters have an internal mechanism to do this automatically, but the Sunsynk inverters usually don't so they need an external device to do the E/N bonding and unbonding and this should have been installed by your installer originally. Some installers will just permanently bond the N&E, but that is 'illegal' and dangerous.
If you could provide some images of your installation, there are quite a few professional installers on here like @Leshen, @Steve87 & @TaliaB who could help to identify if the necessary equipment has been installed correctly.
