[QUOTE="kme, post: 256259, member: 113"] The bit of this that I STILL haven`t got my head around (well, there`s 2 bits, really). 1. (probably being thick; but....)Why use 110 for the immersion? Wouldn`t it be easier to fire your immersion through your contactor, at 240? 2. The main question is how to determine which way the current is flowing in the tails: i.e. If your generation meter shows you`re generating 2.5KW and you`ve got an energy monitor thingy that says you`re using 1.5KW Are you actually drawing 4KW, and importing 1.5 through the current transformer on the main tails, or Are you actually drawing 1KW, and exporting 1.5 through the current transformer on the main tails? Sorry - must be me having a "stupid" moment again........ [/QUOTE]
