Luxpower SNA5000 inverter installation with Dyness Battery Part 1

[@tshepolr5833]

You have my subscription once you mentioned the Home Assistant integration. I am also looking to do the same thing (have the same Luxpower and Dyness battery combination as you do). Will you be sharing the Integration code?

Very good video, keep it up man. Just a question, can you give the sizes of fuses, breakers and cables that you used as well please?

[@murendie]

Hi @Rolovibes. Thanks, I will be uploading anew video that will also include all the materials used and the cost of the project. But for cable sized I have used this rule 1.5 mm - 10amps 2.5 mm - 20 amps 4 mm - 30 amps 6 mm -40 amps 10 mm - 50 amps 16 mm - 60 amps 25 mm - 80 amps 35 mm 100 amps

Thanks for this. That's very helpful. Just another question, you don't use a breaker for the main coming in before the SPD, i've seen other people do. Is it necessary? Im assuming the main breaker in the main db will trip with your current installation so no need for another breaker before SPD? Please let me know if I'm right or wrong here

[@murendie]

Before the SPD it goes through the breaker in the old DB and the EL. Please refer to page 369 of www.theforumsa.co.za/documents/SANS10142-1_ED3TC067_SC06_DSS.pdf@@rolovibes

Can I get your contact details

[@charlhanekom2627]

Hi. Can you confirm that your earth leakage is operating correctly when your manual change over is to switch over to eskom, to bypass the inverter? Because with your current wiring, it looks like you are bypassing your earth leakage as well. If I'm correct, the output from your change over must first go to your earth leakage and then to your main DB.

Good morning,I just wanted to find out which communication cable did you use?Thank you

[@murendie]

The one that worked for me was the one labelled Growatt

[@costachibbonta5436]

For the change over. Is it ok to use a contactor to automatically do the switching

[@murendie]

The purpose of the change over switch in this setup is to be able to isolate the inverter if it dies and go through eskom. no for switch over. My setup is always running through the inverter

So how does your battery last coz I have the same battery 🔋,with the light 💡 inside and outside the house ,CCTV and the Tv and Starlink,I can use it for 7hrs straight,then it cuts off at 20% battery

[@murendie]

Mine goes for over 16 hours. I have a double door refrigerator, 2 tv's (on at most 2 hours a day), 3 monitors and gaming pc, ps5 and lights. But when there is an outage. I turn off everything except for the lights, tv and refrigerator.
