August 20, 20205 yr Hi All Looking at installing a simple 3kW inverter/2.4kW battery UPS system. My DB has LOTS of room. Now the question. Can I install the necessary switchgear in the main DB. It will be (all AC) - CB for feed to Inverter - Changeover switch - CB for feed from Inverter - Earth Leakage (RCD) with the - CBs for the selected circuits I want on Backup (lights and plugs) (reuse current CBs just connected to new RCD) - Required Pilot Lights. The DC stuff (battery cables and fuse box) will be separate. Will this be allowed if adequately separated and so indicated in the board? Seems like such a waist to install another DB if the main one has like two rows 10 DIN spaces each. Thanks Danie
