  1. Thanks I will have a look for the Fuse Holder/Isolater type This is the sticker on the side of the Inverter
  2. Hi Everyone, I'm easing into having backup power for when Eskom feels like having loadshedding. Currently I have a Eaton 2000va UPS running my external Wireless equipment that provide my internet. It runs for about a hour and then cuts out which has been ok but the family wants to be able to watch Netflix for the full duration of Loadshedding 😁. I admit its not the best solution but its worked for our need thus far. So I started gathering a few second hand equipment and so far i have the following: 1x RCT-Axpert 3K inverter charger 4x CSB HRL 12390 batteries Relevant cables for batteries DB box to house fuses and circuit breakers I still need to get the following: 2x 100A fuse and holder Circuit breaker for AC input and Output(not sure if i need this or not) battery DC Isolater switch for Pos(+) and Neg(-) (uncertain what switch i should get) This will not be tied into the circuit of the house so I will not need to fiddle with the current DB. For some it might seem to be a bit elaborate just to have internet/network while loadshedding but the hope is to be able to run some other things as well in the future and also, inverter allows for Solar input so that's also a option to explore. Do I need the circuit breakers? If so what amperage? what isolater switch do i get?
