    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    Did axpert box enter bypass mode while charging battery from mains? If not sure send me picture of display.

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    These readings indicate the output N-E link is inside the Axpert box.

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    What I am working up as a solution is a very fast ac changeover switch to connect the ac output socket to either the inverter or the incoming grid mains but never both. Would you be happy with the changeover which happens within a few cycles of the ac mains so should not be noticeable?

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    I will do the same measurements on one of my brother in law’s solar leccy vans and see what I measure. Don’t think it is a problem but best to be sure.

    Mobile coffee power problem.

    Davesparks idea does keep things nice and simple which is always a good thing for reliability and low cost. My brother in law’s catering vans use gas for all heating of water, fryers, grills and hob and solar leccy, batteries with genie back up for the freezers, chillers, refrigeration and...

    Mobile coffee power problem.

    What is your budget for the provision of mains power in the van? To the nearest £500, ie £1000 or £3500 or £10000. How many years do you expect to operate the mobile coffee business? How many days per week and weeks per year do you reckon the business will trade? I am wondering if the best...

    Could you revise what you wrote in bold above please so it says what you meant a little clearer for me?

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    Very helpful information which casts much light on the problem. It says an up-front rcd is 'not recommended' - rather weak language methinks. It either is or is not required. Anyway, with more mental energy than last time I have the outline of a solution. But before I desrcibe it and also...

    If you do this job then a series of time-lapse images from start to finish would be nice to watch. And a few remarks and comments by each perhaps in way of a master-class.

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    I will mull over what have sent me which will make my rail journey North next week pass quickly. I was cooking a three course meal for 50 last night in our church social club so am a bit weary today for any serious thinking. But a quick question now - is the dedicated consumer unit for off...

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    Tonyboy: I had a reply from Voltacon Conventry but it did not address my clarification with rigour so I have sent a further missive to them. Helpfully, they said they would study the wiring in of the cabinet so I have sent them your sketch with some additional bits by me and a drawing of how...

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    By way of clarification, that box marked Cronos Voltage is measuring the input voltage between L and N and checking it is within range ie say 230V +/- 10V, and if it is it then closes a contact which then applies power to the contactor next to it to supply power to the input of the inverter. If...

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    Just to be sure - nothing you have done wrong - but would you measure the resistance between the two blue N connections at the bottom of the inverter box - see attached image and area circled in blue. If there are ac isolator switches on the the inverter box then please turn these on. As...

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    Thank you for the readings at B and C which indicate that N and E are connected together at the output side of the inverter to create a TN-S earthing system. (Just to confirm I assume you are on the lowest Ohms range and 00.2 is 00.2 Ohms ie less than 1 Ohm. To be sure what reading do you get...

    Thank you for image of inside. I ought to be able to fathom out the wiring diagram from it.

    Why does my main house consumer unit trip when the inverter switched to AC backup?

    What literature do you have that you can send me or a link to? Do you have a circuit diagram for the cabinet? If your cabinet has on one side as in the earlier video clip two c forms for mains in and inverter out then I can spell out a way to do the measurements at the socket or plug N and E...
