July 20, 20224 yr Hi We have installed a Sunsynk 8Kw Hybrid with 5Kw panels and 3 x Pylontech UP5000 (to be upgraded to 3 as soon as available) All load, except for Geysers and Aircons are on essentials, with a CT coil facing correctly from the grid. There is also legal feedback to the grid. Although the feed to the inverter is connected to grid-earth, when the change over switch is set to inverter all essential loads are without earth. When set to grid, earth is present. Question: Do I need to install an earth-spike to the inverter, a relay or what is the solution.

July 20, 20224 yr Exactly what is described in the video. Having a floating Neutral is dangerous and something that you should get sorted out.

If the current through L and N does not balance out only then should it trip. Based on those that have no E connection.
