Off Grid 12v Solar Inverter
Or if I simply had an earth spike that I could jab in the ground then I could go ahead and wire it all up like a normal domestic property?- YGRose

Off Grid 12v Solar Inverter
That's what I thought. What would be the best method using the floating earth supplied on the inverter? Is it possible to run a socket and light ring safely from this?- YGRose

Off Grid 12v Solar Inverter
Would it make sense to output through a 30mA RCCB and then out through at 16A MCB for sockets and a 6A MCB for the lights? I've seen people advising that this is required, however it seems overkill for a 1000W inverter as it will produce such low A... It seems like a fuse to protect the PV to...- YGRose

Off Grid 12v Solar Inverter
I'm thinking about purchasing a 12v 1000W inverter/solar controller: https://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/catalog/full/372-Iconica-1000W-12V-hybrid-pure-sine-wave-inverter-with-50A-solar-charge-controller-and-20A-mains-battery-charger.html I would like to power a lighting radial circuit with a...- YGRose

No, not currently, but electrics need to be safe regardless. I'm just not sure where it's final resting place will be.- YGRose

Yes, I meant a cooker switch. Sorry, it's been a really busy day and my mind is all over the place. If I were to have a double induction hob on a 13A plug and a small oven on a 13A plug also then I seem to be looking at: 1x6A 1x16A 2x32A 1x50A Would this have to be on a 100A consumer unit? I...- YGRose

I can't do that as no single site does exists, just a few maybes. I am trying to work out what I need on the consumer unit side of things within the unit. As it currently does not have a home I can't give any specifics as to what the incoming options are, that would be up to another electrician...- YGRose

I just mean a hardwired dedicated cooker circuit. It's not actually having the kitchen built until after (haven't specified size of kitchen) so I just want to "future proof it" with a big red switch. I believe the property is single phase. Not sure about earthing arrangement and probably 100A...- YGRose

Sorry, I'll try to be more specific. I'm just trying to keep the connection from the house to the unit as small as possible (and user friendly) The unit is for an office/guest room in the garden. It will likely be fed from a nearby house. There is no alarm system planned currently. While the...- YGRose

Hi All, first time poster here in a muddle. I've got a mobile unit that's currently being wired up and I'm struggling to work out which consumer unit to use. Ideally the smaller the better as it's technically mobile, I would like to be able to use an industrial 3 pin plugin on it. I believe...- YGRose
