5kw Deye inverter - grid tied.

Just want to confirm that the following is correct please?

Very heavy thunderstorm last night and a nearby lightning strike caused my db earth leakage to trip - which is correct and great. Should the db earth leakage trip also block my inverter from supplying load? 

Basically- when the db earth leakage trips there is no electricity the essentials are also off untill I switch the earth leakage switch back to 'on'.

I think this is safe and good practice but just want to be sure that it's normal practice?

There should be 2 earth leakage units installed. One pre inverter that services the non essential loads and one on the output of the inverter that protects the socket outlets when inverter is in island mode( no Escom). When the earth leakage unit before the inverter trips and the earth leakage on the output side of the inverter stays on the inverter will supply essential loads. If both have tripped due to lightning ground strike then you will have no output to non essentials and essentials

Thanks - I'll check with my installer then. As far as i know the inverter earth switch didn't trip - only the db. All the inverter switches remained in the on position.
