How to remove one big load from the battery?

[martindell]

I have 7 x HV2600's and apart from this issue it's been working OK - until I switched on my air-source heat pump on for the winter.

The heat pump is draining the battery from 100% to 10% in 2 hours - far from ideal.

What's the best way to exclude the heat pump from being supplied by the battery?

I'm guessing it will involve moving the CT clamp to somewhere other than the main tail or replace it with a meter - but I can't figure it out and haven't found any information on line. Any ideas / insights / experience would be most welcome.

D'oh - and now I feel dumb for posting a question before looking at my own distribution board.

It wasn't at all complicated. I just moved the CT clamp from the main live tail after the electricity meter, to the tail that feeds the distribution board for the house. Luckily, my heat pump has its own distribution board fed by a separate tail - so now the CT clamp will be ignoring the load on that distribution board (I hope / think).

Leaving this here in case it helps anyone else ..

I was going to suggest checking the CT, good to see you've sorted.
