CT extention to +30m using CAT 6 ethernet cable
CAT 6 can also be UTP.

Sunsynk 5,32 kW c rating
Pylontech batteries are rated the same way, but the BMS always reports the max discharge current at 0.5C - so most inverters will never go over this value.

Hubble dropping from 38% to 0%
Then I suggest monitoring individual cell voltages when that happens (with either PBMS tools, or this one: https://github.com/Tertiush/bmspace or solar assistant). I think it's likely a cell that is triggering an undervolt disconnect, but with the tools you should be able to see what the issue is. Actually, with PBMStools, you should just be able to look at the log and see what caused the previous disconnect.

Hubble dropping from 38% to 0%
Yes, you have to go to 100% often enough for the BMS to have a reference, otherwise drift like that is expected. It's also required to ensure balancing happens.

Seplos BMS v2 10E is amazing.
A small passive balancer is all you need over the long term - just look at any commercial battery. Not a single one of the big brands have anything more than that, the FreedomWon with the Orion BMS (ie not the eTower) has the highest I am aware of at 200mA.

Power spikes on switch to inverter
Yes there is another thread on this topic: It's most likely that the inverter is outputting DC, which will cause fuses in things with transformers or induction motors to blow (or overheat and fail) without looking like a surge.

Axpert King 5KW only giving 50% of the potential of solar arrays?
Seems like the OG 5.48 has a high voltage MPPT, so 2S panels will have too low voltage for the MPPT: I'm surprised it even does anything. If that is the case, you will have to put more panels in series.

Earth leakages at each sub boards only
Most RCDs don't have overload protection and HAVE to be used with an MCB.

Air heat pump or fireplace
Yeah, so the reasons stated in your article is the same for all forms of heating:
-
Air heat pump or fireplace
That seems unlikely - I sleep with the aircon on cooling 12 months of the year and don't have a hard time with it. I can't speak for others, though.
-
Air heat pump or fireplace
I don't see how an aircon on heat mode can dry things out. Heating air increases it's ability to hold moisture. In cooling mode it decreases it's ability to hold moisture, which makes the water condense, drying out the air.

Grid-tied 5kw solar solution confusion
Yes, only essential adds to overload.

GoodWe 5048ES Cycling charge when loadshedding
That's because something is switching on and off that requires the battery to go from charge to discharge mode rapidly (where it stays for a while). If you have enough solar to cover that case, it should not do that, or if you remove the load that does that - looks like it might be a clothes iron going by the frequency?

FOR SALE: New up5000
I'm going to guess C...
-
FOR SALE: New up5000
The workaround is to tell the inverter it's 2xUS2000s. Have you tried that?

Goodwe inverter - using excess electricity to heat up geyser?
For reference, this is from the new 5048ES datasheet: Notice the same spec being 9200VA, but it won't allow passthrough of nearly that.
-
Goodwe inverter - using excess electricity to heat up geyser?
The spec sheet states this: "Max apparent power from utility grid" means that you can pass-through 5000VA, while charging the batteries with 5000VA. What is stated in the video does not reflect in the datasheet - the max AC output current seems to be 22.7A. If what they say in the video is true, then they should make it more apparent and also update the datasheet.

Only for 10 seconds - that's why.

Bsl uneven discharge
I think there is possibly more than one issue. What voltage do you charge them to?

Wow, no BMS with incendiary cells, that is either very brave or something else...

Blown Fuses - Luxpower & Shoto
Inverter outputs DC for a short period of time.

Blown Fuses - Luxpower & Shoto
Most likely your 200mA fuse won't "POP" at all with 220mA applied, and if it does it will take a while. (the 200mA fuse curve never even crosses the 300mA line...)
-
Blown Fuses - Luxpower & Shoto
This is only true if the power supply is a switch mode. Since it is stated that this affects devices with (lf) transformers, it's much more likely that they have linear PSUs which makes your theory fall on it's face...

Blown Fuses - Luxpower & Shoto
How did you get to that conclusion?
