Thanks very much.

Thanks AlecK very helpful I do not however want to protect the mains supply with an RCD as I am going to eventually run a hot water cylinder off the inverter during summer, so I could just install b type circuit breakers on the main cable and hot water circuit. I would probably however just put in f...

Best Practice earth loop impedance B type C/B or fuses

I have a fully off grid set up, I have wired up the house and a solar company has done the Solar panels, battery and inverter. House is wired the same as you would if it was grid tied, except supplied by a sub board off the inverter. Although it does pass RCD tests, it does not pass the earth loop i...
