UPDATE: I had another issue in my system that has now been resolved and have narrowed down my issues with the Inverter-Charger.
I recently installed my 3000W Renogy Pure Sine Wave Inverter-Charger.
When I am not connected to shore power and the inverter-charger is not using the bypass...
I recently installed my electrical system which has the Renogy DC to DC charger with MPPT 50A, two Renogy 170Ah lithium iron batteries, and the Renogy 500A battery monitor with a shunt.
The DC to DC charger with MPPT works fine - no issues getting a charge from both solar and the alternator...
So it sounds like I need this to be sorted within the inverter itself? I've sent in a request to Renogy technical support team and waiting to hear back. Will update you when I hear back.
Thanks again for your help!
Unfortunately this is not the case. Apparently some Renogy inverters have this and mine does not.
Is there a relay that is also an RCD for this purpose? Thanks
There's not a lot of space available and it will be inside my campervan, so a dry location.
I'd like to add additional layer of safety in the event that I plug into shore power that I don't fully trust.
The battery monitor shows that the batteries are only charged to 48-49%.
Where’s the setup for this battery monitor? Doesn’t seem like much setup other than setting the Ah?
I have this shore power inlet: RVXHUA 15 Amp Flanged Inlet | Waterproof RV Shore Power Flanged Receptacle | NEMA 5-15 2 Pole 3-Wire AC Port Plug | 125V Recessed Male Outlet Generator Receptacle for RV Shed Marine Boat https://a.co/d/b3GBRMj
I’m looking for something I can just connect the wires...
Awesome thank you so much I appreciated it!
I have the output of my inverter/charger connected to this Distribution Panel with my neutral and ground wires going to the respective spots on this distribution panel. Is it possible to bond the wires through this distribution panel? Or am I way off...
Looks like this should work! Should I be at all concerned that this is 16 amps and not 15 amps?
Additionally, wondering if the distribution panel box is necessary? Or if it's only needed for outdoor use?
Thanks again
From my understanding, some inverters are designed to have a floating neutral - which seems to be the case for both of us here.
My main question is whether or not it is safe to connect the neutral-ground in the distribution panel. I have heard in another forum that it may not be safe to do so...
