[QUOTE="awaterspyl, post: 542869, member: 36459"] Question for someone knowledgeable on the Luxpower LXP-5K hybrid inverter. I understand that the EPS output is limited to 13A and it's not suitable for whole house backup but I would like a bit more flexibility than a "double socket and an extension lead" for critical loads. What I'd like to do is feed the EPS output into the consumer unit via a manual transfer switch for when there is a power outage. Before switching over from the grid supply I can then check battery levels (2 x PylonTech U3000C), unplug any heavy loads and switch off any unnecessary circuits at the consumer unit. My concerns would be protection of the inverter and batteries plus any earthing requirements. Has anyone done this successfully with a Luxpower hybrid inverter as I'm just getting "It's not designed for this" from UK support. Thanks, Andy [/QUOTE]
