NOTE* This Episode is only talking about and planning the set up for the unit no actual install. please wait/find for part 2 for install. parts of this video Involve AC electricity I recommend you check your local regulations before considering doing any of it yourself.
A friend offered to buy my current Victron Pheonix Inverter and Victron Battery Charger ( Both are fantastic units ). This gave me an opportunity to get a Multiplus 12 / 1600 | 70 which is a combination of an inverter and charger and saves space in my cupboard.
As the Multiplus is an Inverter, Charger and Hook up AC pass through. Looking at the Victron Schematics this unit should be installed with Protection both on the AC In ( upstream of Inverter ) and AC Out ( Downstream of the Inverter )
Protection wise I will be using two "Consumer units", An Enclosure containing a MCB ( Miniature circuit breaker ) and RCD ( Residual current device, Other names included RCCB, GFCI, GFI, ALCI in Different areas ). Note whilst the AC in / Hook Up / Shore power "should" already have such protection at the source, There is always the Potential for a fault, Incorrect installation or so.
I will also touch upon the principle of Earth “Bonding” of the AC Earth to the vehicle chassis and why.
