Good morning,I just wanted to find out which communication cable did you use?Thank you

[@murendie]

The one that worked for me was the one labelled Growatt

[@tshepolr5833]

You have my subscription once you mentioned the Home Assistant integration. I am also looking to do the same thing (have the same Luxpower and Dyness battery combination as you do). Will you be sharing the Integration code?

[@costachibbonta5436]

For the change over. Is it ok to use a contactor to automatically do the switching

[@murendie]

The purpose of the change over switch in this setup is to be able to isolate the inverter if it dies and go through eskom. no for switch over. My setup is always running through the inverter

So how does your battery last coz I have the same battery 🔋,with the light 💡 inside and outside the house ,CCTV and the Tv and Starlink,I can use it for 7hrs straight,then it cuts off at 20% battery

[@murendie]

Mine goes for over 16 hours. I have a double door refrigerator, 2 tv's (on at most 2 hours a day), 3 monitors and gaming pc, ps5 and lights. But when there is an outage. I turn off everything except for the lights, tv and refrigerator.

Very good video, keep it up man. Just a question, can you give the sizes of fuses, breakers and cables that you used as well please?

[@murendie]

Hi @Rolovibes.
Thanks, I will be uploading anew video that will also include all the materials used and the cost of the project.
But for cable sized I have used this rule
1.5 mm - 10amps
2.5 mm - 20 amps
4 mm - 30 amps
6 mm -40 amps
10 mm - 50 amps
16 mm - 60 amps
25 mm - 80 amps
35 mm 100 amps

[@rolovibes]

Thanks for this. That's very helpful. Just another question, you don't use a breaker for the main coming in before the SPD, i've seen other people do. Is it necessary? Im assuming the main breaker in the main db will trip with your current installation so no need for another breaker before SPD? Please let me know if I'm right or wrong here

[@murendie]

Before the SPD it goes through the breaker in the old DB and the EL. Please refer to page 369 of www.theforumsa.co.za/documents/SANS10142-1_ED3TC067_SC06_DSS.pdf@@rolovibes

Can I get your contact details

[@charlhanekom2627]

Hi. Can you confirm that your earth leakage is operating correctly when your manual change over is to switch over to eskom, to bypass the inverter? Because with your current wiring, it looks like you are bypassing your earth leakage as well. If I'm correct, the output from your change over must first go to your earth leakage and then to your main DB.

[@hlabimkhwebane7474]

I was installing the same system but I'm struggling with battery settings.
What is the exact number of (Ultra energy battery) LiFeP04 . Plz help 😊

[@murendie]

Did you get help? What battery are you using Dyness?

[@motumiseleke6329]

My brother your job is need but remember conductors aren't bend by plier this is unregulated your bend must be gently.
