Re: Community of people using other batteries including ev batteries with FoxESS inverters

This is extremely good...

Would it be "wrong" to pour some of that knowledge in here?

Re: New system in Surrey

Hi, looking good!
Could you give us some more details on your transfer switch? Some pictures, a schematic maybe? :D

Hey, just to add all the info possible in here.

Re: EPS: "Level 4.5" - Whole House Automatic (AIO)

I might have found a solution.
The HS1 series from Heschen appears to support interlocking.
Then it's just matter of finding your preferred combination.

This requires: The N-E bond relay to be interlocked, or mechanically linked , with the island mode isolator , [...] This means that the potential ...

Re: EPS: "Level 4.5" - Whole House Automatic (AIO)

Amazing info, thanks! I think my system can be adapted in the way you're suggesting and be approximated by something like this new diagram (main differences highlighted in red): IMG_1580.jpeg So I've updated my schematic (v2-A), including the additional contactor to handle the N-E Bond connection in ...

Re: EPS: "Level 4.5" - Whole House Automatic (AIO)

You can't appreciate how thankful I am for your answer. I just spent some time looking into what you just explained and I have so many questions now 😂 - Why shouldn't I permanently connect the EPS Neutral to ground at all times? - Because of my permanent Earth Rod, have I become a secondary earthing ...

EPS: "Level 4.5" - Whole House Automatic (AIO)

Re: What is EPS and what are the various methods/settings?

I wanted to leave it do its things for a few hours to explore this "EPS Mode" a little before turning the grid on again, but then ...

Re: Adding new batteries

Power everything down (solar DC, AC, batteries) then isolate the batteries. (See video on this group for how to do all this). I then disconnected the earth and power from the BMS to the top battery, added the new bracket, and refitted the BMS. Then insert new battery and connect earths and power ...
