Bush Palace - What size is your inverter and batteries?
Hi Cootay i have a 3000w inverter and 2 120ah batterys
Bush Palace - What size is your inverter and batteries?
I wonder if it depends on where abouts in the 240v circuit that the supply comes from depends on whether the circuit breaker and rcd work or not?
Apologies burnsy miss read that. My mistake.
I think though the best thing to do is avoid energizing circuits from the gpo's even if you can work out some form of isolation. Risks outweigh the benefits in my book. Setup a couple of dedicated gpo's. Just my thoughts, doesn't mean they're right, each to their own I reckon.

Well sorry guys been running this system on this van for 3 years and 2 years on our previous van havnt had a problem running fantastic !!
do you think maybe your reading too much into it ? i dunno just my thoughts
Cheers
To follow up on Expanda 14, I guess the problem as i see it with relays is they can fail, which in some cases that can be fail closed or in a solid state device short circuited and you would then have exposed pins and wouldn't know till someone gets whacked. I know it's a long shot, but funny how long shots tend to occur when the stars are aligned.
Some will say "yeh but Circuit breakers/rcd's can fail also" yes they can, and yes you will lose protection, but you won't end up with exposed live parts.
Still reckon dedicated gpo is the go.
