Hi folks.
I'm having a PV system installed with a 5KW Amasstore GTX5000 Battery.
This comes with a critical load output.
I have the spec sheet but its not clear if this output is active all the time or only engaged when the grid power goes down. I'm assuming its live all the time (unless the battery drops to its cut off voltage)
I'm looking at how best to integrate that into my home circuit?
I am creating a separate ring main for my fridge freezer and separate freezer as well as one lighting circuit that will feed common are lights.
I plan to add a second distribution board in the garage and the have that feed this new ring main and lighting circuit.
I was looking at an automatic change over switch 2P 63A Dual Power Automatic Transfer Switch For Generator Changeover Switch UK | eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203989287846 that would normally be switched to a feed from my main consumer unit (grid power) and upon detecting loss of grid power switch to the Battery critical output.
But is there any need/value in that if the battery is providing power all the time?
Thoughts / advice welcomed.
Thanks
