Splitting lights circuit from another DB

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

I have a cottage that has pre-paid elec. and no power backup of any sort. I'd like to explore and probably implement adding just the lights onto my main house inverter.

The distance from the cottage db and the inverter installation (not main house db) is literally in the next room, so if you draw a bee-line in the shared ceiling space - perhaps 3 meters. The main house db is however about 12 meters away from the cottage db.

1. Can this be done to have just a single lights breaker in the inverter installation portion of the house?

2. I assume and am happy with the fact that the lights circuit will no longer be through the pre-paid meter. All the lights are LED, and will probably draw a max of 100w with an extractor fan in the cottage bathroom.

Thanks so much for your time and help!
