An electrician has just installed the AC cabling for 2 parallel Multiplus II's and has only connected the L (Active) cable to the AC Out 2 connectors. He states the Neutral is joined in the Distribution Enclosure which feeds in & out to the Multi's.
This is what is looks like in the Multi's:
Is this OK?
If not, what are the implications of turning the Multi's on?
Note this is a house installation & not a mobile installation.
Hi
Not good practice at all, why has he feed the two on top of each other should have separated them out to there relevent feeds. Totaly wrong way of doing it.

Thanks Rob.
Not sure what you mean by "feed the two on top of each other". Could you expand on that?
Secondly, will anything 'bad' happen if I turn on the Multi's?
It looks like he's using the input neutral for output. Totally wrong. Input and output neutrals must be separate and never connected together. The Multi does this internally.
Also, ALL wiring to the two parallel multis must be identical length. That is to say AC input lengths must match, AC output lengths must match, DC connection to battery lengths must match.
