ok cable has been upgraded to 10mm, all the way through from invertor to fuse and even the cables inside the fuse box (from 4mm > 10mm) certified etc etc. Now i dont know if its just me or maybe the bad weather recently but i dont seem to be getting the same kw numbers from my panels. (maybe...

10mm delivered today

im under the impression once cable / MCB's uprated etc new installer will sign off with cert. Something i will double check.

MCB has been changed to excat same model - does that count as a "change" to invalidate cert?

i have the eletrical certs from the install. THe guy that turned up was a differen guy felt like he was caught in the middle. I think i'll just get it done properly by the other installer and walk away from the situation

They swapped the MCB with excatly the same model/make/rating (32A, LIVE-MCB @ 6ka) I told the installer i want 10mm cable as per the manual of solax. He said your going to have to call head office etc. I thought sod that ive wasted enough time here. Ordered the 10mm cable personally as...

so the battery boosted to around 7100w last night and no trip of the MCB although it was a short period of time as the battery had a decent % already before charging. replacment MCB didnt trip though but going to run it over a week. 10mm cable is on route also.

ok so MCB changed to same model/unit/brand installer said excatly what has been said here. lets see if it trips (which it will) and i'll hassel them on the 6-10mm cable and uprated MCB @ 50a

ok so tiny update. The installer is sending someone to "swap" over the MCB - Lets see what they replace it with. They have told me 4mm cable is fine and if the MCB (after replacment) keeps tripping they will then swap to 6mm (i pointed out the manual is 8-10mm) they guy on the phone kinda...

sidewinder thanks for the input if the exsiting Live brand breaker is replaced with the same specs (6ka/32A) but a better manufacture i dont see any problem with this? It would be compatible and would work. Nothing has been proposed yet. As it stands today im emailing the orginal installer...

sidewindee thanks for the input. Dead right about the breakers not fitting the current board i noticed they have a specail connector for what looks like live or netual. The replacement 6kA/32A is a direct replacment though. 10mm cable is avilable, the run is fairly short and stright around...

ive got 3 x triple power 5.8kw (17.4kw) i'll give them their 5 days grace and ramp up the calling and emailing.

very true murdoch!! So i capped the charging to 10A which limited it to charging at 3500w peak and the fuse did not trip. This could have been a one off so going to leave everything as is and see again tonight what happens. It could be a short term fix until i get the correct cable+fuses...

i kinda lost faith ages ago when i was emailing them on another matter. they are too busy looking for the next install. better to wipe my mouth, spend the £100-400 on upgrade and move on :)

the MCB migh be dead because even at 25A it was tripping. i'l see what 10A does. New MCB's on route also.
