Easysolar 48/5000 Combining AC Outputs 16 10 10 Domestic 100A Fuseboard

I’m planning to connect 6 panels to an Easysolar 48/5000 with 2 PilonTech 48/3000’s. I will expand solar later.I have a 100a fused grid supply to my 100A MCB and Dual 32a RCD fuse board.

I would like a single connection to this existing setup from the Easysolar outputs.

Can I combine the 16a 10a 10a fused outputs to this single input fuse-board?
I don’t necessarily want to split 16a 10a 10a to the house diverse circuits.

I like the Easysolar as it simplifies the install cabling and control considerably.

I won’t be using the 16a grid only output.

Please advise if this 36a combined output is possible without issue.

Thanks very much

If you open the cover you will see they are all fed from one point. Change out one breaker to the correct size and run your loads through that.

You cannot electrically combine breakers to increase output as proposed.

Thanks very much Alexandra that’s a great relief. This is a pre purchase question so it helps me decide on the right system for me.

Can I ask what the largest breaker I should put in there and the part number? I’m assuming 45A - 63A since the rating of the 5000VA is 10000Wpk (45A@220v) according to the spec sheet. Does the output come directly off the breaker which would be ok or via lower rated panel mounted terminals which would limit the current to the rating of the terminals?

Part numbers are hard they are more regional or i guess supply related.

Leave the input one as the rcd. The output 5000/230 = 21.7A so a breaker close to that size. 25A maybe. Ac breakers have a trip curve so can handle short overloads, the ones in the easy are usually chint.
