swazz99jhb 12 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 IMy weekend project. 5.5 kW Sunsynk + the Hubble AM-2 no solar yet. Still need to crimp my 50mm^2 cable and connect it to the breaker. I have a few questions. 1. Bought 2 "CBi DIN Rail Surge Protector QFL-1(13)D 1P 275V with Indication - 40kA" and connected that on the LOAD N and L cables. Only the one on LIVE is lit. Is the other one defective or did I buy the wrong stuff? 2. SOC stuck at 89%. I used the RJ45 that came with the Sunsynk and connected that to the CAN port on the inverter and battery. What can the problem be? 3. All those exposed cables from the main DB to the SUB, can I place the faceplate back, cut off a strip at the bottom and just put some trunking over it?

It shows me the split between incoming from grid to Inverter and non-essential. YellowTapemeasure and Pumba 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyH 11 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The warnings are a COC requirement. You can buy the set from Power Forum. The warning is to be displayed so that people are made aware of high DC currents around the battery and leads. "DC supply 48V" (or 12V or 24V. " Danger Battery charging area", "Do Not! Disconnect cables under load", "Danger Electric shock risk". If there is a change-over switch there is a potential from the Inverter even if selected to Grid. The warning is "Alternative power source - isolate in the Garage" (or wherever the Inverter output isolation is installed). YellowTapemeasure 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brani 56 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Labels are nice, but i would wire that fuse in first. Preferably before putting the power on, but to late for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
