Hello
I'm about to buy an easyplus / easyplus ii 48/5000...
I note one difference which intrigued me. The "old" easyplus has a 100A transfer switch vs the 50A of the Easyplus ii
is that correct? what's the reason for this? Does this mean that I should go for the "old" easyplus if I want a smooth experience where any ramp up in demand (e.g. electric oven) is handled without any potential gotchas?
Hi @londonFlatThing,
You are correct in the sizing.
The reason is that 50A (~12 kW) was considered enough for nearly all of the applications that people would also want a 5 kVA inverter/charger. In most cases the AC supply wiring will be constrained before that limit.
If a larger load is likely to be attached, and a larger than 50A supply is available, it can also be done on a seperate circuit with an energy meter (rather than passing through the transfer switch).
In those cases though, larger loads are also more likely to want a larger inverter/charger as well (the 8 kVA MultiPlus-II has a 100A).
