[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 499522, member: 28452"] Please enlighten me. I had a solar system professionally installed a few years ago On my dual split panel it's the only GE MCB on my otherwise MK installation, and it is on the lightest loaded RCD. The solar works OK. The MCB mismatch did annoy me but I didn't actually complain. What is the perceived problem? The only thing I have noticed is that if the RCD is tripped whilst the invertor is running at "full throttle", on a sunny day, there seems to be a surge. I say this because I did it once by accidentally touching a neutral to earth on a lighting circuit, resulting in blowing both tubes of an insectorcutor which is on an associated circuit on the same RCD. Should the invertor have been put on an RCBO, on its own? [/QUOTE]
