Thank you for the compliment.
Cables coming in are AC 6 mm max x 6, PV 10 mm x 4 and battery 10 mm x 2. Our battery voltage is 360V.

Ok.. these would fit in comfortably then.

jonescosmos:


I would always recommend not combining AC and DC Circuitry, ESD is real and not a friend of most Inverters.
Same way I preached against combining AC Grounding and DC Grounding using the same Earth Rod (Bury 2 Rods in the same spot but don't let them touch each other). Some people who did combine their earthing had their Inverters exposed to hazards and consequently damaging them.
The use of the ATS in the box is not recommended also because anything that trips your Inverter output requires an attention. Go and that everything is OK and so you can switch things manually.
Most Inverters are short circuit protected, so if you have a short circuit or some sort garget that is trying to blow, it will raise the amperage on the power source, most inverters will trip to prevent that from happening.
And when it trips, your ATS then switches your supply over to Grid automatically abi?, Well, Nigerian NEPA current does not pity anything wey wan blow. Don't ask me the function of the breakers, most breakers you have in Nigerian Markets today are fakes and locally printed, so they might not protect your equipment in some hazardous events.
People now have printing machines that can print on those breakers, Now that solar is trending, watch them cleaning Ac breakers and printing them as DC breakers. Always buy proprietary protection devices, they costs more but they work.

Avoid using ATS on your Inverter Outputs, use MTS if you must, or do it on the Inverter Input considering alternative source of power.

I come in peace.

This grounding matter keeps coming up, to-merge or not-to-merge, but most times it isn't easy to effect a second ground especially in rented apartments, so what to do?

.

The use of ATS could simply be due to periods of shutdown of the inverter due to low battery levels and not necessarily for malfunction even though I agree that a malfunction requires direct attention. The inverter installation would already have it's own overcurrent protection on it's output either by breakers or current limiters or the inverter itself as you have mentioned, so whatever fault occurring outside of that may not be the responsibility of the inverter and it's handlers except it gets a hit through the input section if left unprotected.

adrusa:


True, I used to do something like that when I was using Outback.

Unfortunately I have been searching if there are ready made retrofits that could serve that purpose. It would help a lot if load can be controlled based on battery's state of charge.

Juror:

If one has an inverter with dry ports that get signals based on the SOC, it's just a matter of relays and ors + timers and one can replicate that. Which is why I love the latest jk bms features.

Dry s only activates at critical battery low alarm and deactivates at battery floating stage and will not even activate even if grid comes on but until the battery floats. Deye Smartload gives you the ability to activate this port when grid comes on, when SOC is at your choice level, when PV wattage reaches a certain level. The newest firmware update even makes it possible for the smartload to shut off if grid goes off and battery has not reached your desired smartload ON SOC.
We are currently upvoting a TIME OF USE Option for the SMARTLOAD PORT.

Is it important to put breakers between battery and inverter? And can normal DC double pole breakers be used?

that hybrid high pv sef dey fear me! Like whooping 500V to 400V for person house.

Which is even more severe in electrocution between a 220ac and 400v DC.

And another thing have been thinking about, betwn a 200v/20A and a 400v/10A source which would cause more damage?

I still feel for homes make PV array dey around 100 to 150 range for safety. Just my thought sha!

you know there are people who don't know that something as little as 1-amps from a 200Volts source, is much deadlier than 12-amps from a 5Volts source.

Oga, Starlink is not MTN or Airtel , the grandmasters of deception.
Unlimited is unlimited, use 100TB if you can within 30 days; 500TB if you want,
The worse case scenario; your speed might be throttled after hitting FUP.
But guess what, Starlink doesn't throttle Nigerians yet and when they did in their country,
speeds dropped to around 30Mbps. But dey browse dey go till you quench.
They actually have a very detailed legal documentation page; but as a "lazy youth" that you are; i know you cannot find it.
. Do your research, I will not help you.

Bro abeg are u sure it is not capped? Airtel don show me wayo in the past with their deceptive ment. Abeg can you show me your data usage in a month where u used like 500gb. Cos i dey fear to go buy am now, make story come enter am again. Airtel too dey lie na why i dey skeptical. Me I no mind the speed cos e dey okay for wetin I need.

Peterlove11:

Airtel Unlimited is truly Unlimited....not 200gb with 10gb daily FUP. My whole house is connected to the 20mbps Plan. My phone, tablet, wifey phone and laptop. I watch Movies in HD, Youtube in FHD, stream Netflix, apps and games. Its more than sufficient. The most beautiful thing is the ping. I will always take an averagely fast internet with low ping over an extremely fast internet with High ping anytime anyway.

QuoteJust1nce:


My brother; don't pray for anyone to hit you. I know for sure DC will lock you in making it harder to let go until you go yonder; wheras AC has a higher chance of flinging you. Imagine say you dey roof, AC fit fling you go down and you kaput. If e no fling you, you might be needing a defibrillator But realistically you are better of having 500V and 10A running via your wires than having 50V 100A. There is a high potential to start a fire with high current especially when wires are undersized. You could be sleeping and next thing, you don turn to toasted bread. You go buy fake CHNT breaker; e no pop. As long as you're not touching naked wires and bridging things, you can escape getting electrocuted. You have to trust your own awareness. But the chances of high current fires would depends on both you, the installer, the wires, the breakers, the batteries, etc. Too much to risk. You're better off pitching sides with low current high voltage than high current low voltage. These are my opinions. Never been shocked by DC but A/C, one too many times. Stay safe.

my grand setup would be High voltage sha ... But i gats build a separate building housing all the batteries and inverters... And all s would be on the ground...na only AC go leave the separate house enter the electrical in the main house.

Most times, ma comments are not often targeted to a spcific item or person.

Once again, nothing TRUEly is unlimited even in the hosting industry, so also it is in ISPs. The mere fact that they (will) throttle your speed is enough reason. Why else do you think they (will) throttle your speed, same reason even in the hosting industry, they tamper with your resources, annd you know why, it's to PREVENT you exhausting available RESOURCEs.

if it's TRUEly unlimited, why try prevent the end / customer from fully consuming said service/product.

Airtel did something similar many years ago - they sell you 2GB of data for 200 naira BUT ensure the speed is so slow you have no option than subscribe for a 100MB data to browse.

Same in the hosting industry - they quote unLIMITed Speed, unLIMITed diskSpace, unLIMITed ram, unLIMITed domains, unLIMITed etc BUT still find one way or the other to prevent you fully using their service. Even Google wey get server Farms sef no fit promise you unlimited anything.

The trick is to get lots of customers using the "unLIMITed" phrase as bait, then hope most wouldn't use enough resources (say less than 40%) so that those who do consume above average, steal from those who didn't.

More like a compound of 10 Tenants BUT has Car parking space for only 4 Cars YET to every potential tenant that the compound has got big Car parking space - they only hope not all Tenants would own a Car. Guess what happens when over 4 tenants own a Car.

I am neither here to ARGUE, nor to use ABUSIVE words. 
Most times, I only speak type so as to inform, and/or remind those who don't know, OR probably get called out 
should in case what I thought is RIGHT, wasn't.

Baba this your explanation no enter oh, to be honest. Oya relax. They throttle because of FUP (fair usage policy). If they allow you to keep going at maximum speed forever; just you alone would rack up too much bills and most importantly; prevent others from enjoying the service and that's being fair. Your speed got reduced to say 30Mbps but you could still and without being cut off. So if you had enough time on your hands you go a petabyte. The only limiting factor at this point would be 30 calendar days; cos yo're gonna run out of time. If something is not unlimited, then it is capped e.g. 2TB cap. At the end of that cap; you can longer browse. It's simple. Or people like aitel would give you 5/10GB per day and no browsing until the next 24hrs. You see the difference? It's very clear.
One stops you from browsing completely until you recharge or wait one full day. The other keeps going (possibly at reduced speeds)

You should check their glossary. Priority is given to residential customers against roaming customers (mobile). If you need faster speeds while roaming; you need to enable Priority data. Or if you want to use it in the sea or while in motion; or globally. Attached a screenshot that explains it better.

It's not a straight yes or no.

In a short circuit situation, it depends on a lot of factors, including the power source,. Public utility will be catastrophic because the source can sustain the power surge associated with a short. But with solar in a single series connection, no catastrophy as only the rated current Isc will flow. If the is well made and the cabling is rightly sized, the energy can be dissipated indefinitely without any damage.

In an accidental shocking (body touch) situation, higher voltage is more catastrophic..

In an accidental shocking (body touch) situation, higher voltage is more catastrophic..

For battery, unlike a solar , a short circuit is catastrophic because the battery can supply the the entire short circuit current without limit (very low internal resistance). In HV battery, if the terminals is not grounded (physically or capacitively), no shock ensued without touching both terminals.
