Hi all, just registered today and sorry to come straight in with a request for help.
I wasn't sure if this would be best in the commercial forum or the domestic one as really it is using comercial type equipment on a domestic ring main.
I have 2 large battery charger/inverters in use at my house which I can individually use with no issues but if i power both up together then at some point over the next 24 hours my RCD will trip. The chargers are a Victron Multiplus 12/2000/80 and a Mastervolt Mass Combi 12/4000/200. The inverters are not feeding in to the domestic supply so it is only the chargers that are effecting the RCD. I believe the problem will be due to the large capacitors built into these chargers causeing earth leakage which is beyond the normal level for a domestic (wylex type AC) RCD. I am just wondering if anyone has come up against a similar issue? Would the solution be to supply these inverters from a RCBO to remove the influence of all other electronics in the house or maybe run each charger from its own RCBO?
