Inverter could be small if you want to run a microwave, mini split, etc...I love those inverters but they are just a bit to underpowered for allot of appliances. But as you said, bare min.
Peak for just a few seconds, tops. Its a hybrid LF so that helps. What mini split are you using? Some of the smallest 9K BTU can run up to 1400. Perhaps someone with this inverter can chime in. Its a nice efficient unit.I do have a generator for larger power draws. However my mini split pulls 550-650 watts and this inverter can peak up to 2200.
Unfortunately to scale up at 48v gets expensive quick beyond this inverter.
LF yesIts a hybrid LF

What AC voltage?
The color scheme isn't standard for European or North American.
Neutral can be white or gray.120v...important detail!
The inverter can be configured to neutral floating or neutral connected to earth. Since this is an isolated "grid", from reading Victron's wiring document, I believe it should be neutral connected to earth which is the system grounding wire connecting to a rod in the ground. Not to be confused with the AC ground wire which is separate.
The N/G bonding is done inside the inverter. You have to remove the cover and move the yellow/green stripe wire from FJ1 to FJ2 on the circuit board.The inverter can be configured to neutral floating or neutral connected to earth.

Gotcha.The N/G bonding is done inside the inverter. You have to remove the cover and move the yellow/green stripe wire from FJ1 to FJ2 on the circuit board.
This creates the AC ground, not something separate.
But this is off-grid, I am not connecting it to my existing electrical system. I am going to wire my mini split and anything else directly to the inverter (via breaker).Also, since you already have an electrical system. You already have a grounding system. All new grounding should connect to your existing grounding system.
There should only ever be one grounding system for everything.
if it's in the same house as the existing electrical system.But this is off-grid, I am not connecting it to my existing electrical system. I am going to wire my mini split and anything else directly to the inverter (via breaker).
No surge on that mini split. It will just ramp up to peak power at startup.Pioneer 9k. https://www.pioneerminisplit.com/pr...-mini-split-air-conditioner-heat-pump-115-vac
Spec sheet says AC pulls 720 watts at 115v, my breaker meter (Vue 2) shows 550 watts on normal mode, 650 watts on turbo. I think the inverter 2200 peak should cover the startup surge and it's well below the 1000 watt continuous rating.
It took a bit of research but I did find Westinghouse DIN breakers. Spent my morning researching that, MC4 connectors, wire, etc. Too much junk out there to avoid!Nice components. But I would not use a bunch of chinese breakers I would uses fuses for the DC. And an IMO disconnect if you want a solar disconnect.
probably made in the same factory as those cheap onesIt took a bit of research but I did find Westinghouse DIN breakers. Spent my morning researching that, MC4 connectors, wire, etc. Too much junk out there to avoid!
