    Extractor fan switching??

    Ok, here's one that's been annoying me. Why is it that we wire an extractor fan to come on with the light?? I know this works when it's dark and we need to switch the light on but what if it's daylight, do we switch the light on just to get the air extracting when taking shower etc. Would it not...

    Cable Size

    What size of cable is that going from inverter to AC isolator. Looks like flex or white FP. But must be small csa to put it through the left hand stuffing gland. Might be getting high impedance through that piece of cable if it's only 2.5 say??

    Cable Size

    Hi Canoeboy, Sorry dont agree with you there, The inverter must push the voltage up by a few volts to push the current back down the grid. If the voltage remained the same you would not feedback anything. Voltage drives the current right( or have i finally gone mad) One of the first things i...

    Everything looks to be set up fine, the G83/1 being the important bit. I think your next step is to get your incoming voltage checked either with your monitor from DNO or get your pv installer to check this with a fully calibrated test meter. Get them to test the voltage with the inverter...

    Cable Size

    Hi Newman, you describe the inverter to trip out? Does this trip a mcb or does the inverter shut down and the mains supply stay on? If the inverter shuts down it will display an error code which will let the installer diagnose the fault. The next time it shuts down check the display on the...
