question

Hi CC. You should raise a sparky to this task, but a 16A RCD on the output of the Multi should do.

The 35A of batt charge is at 12V, so less than 500W in practice. Nothingness..

You could flick the C-G meter if you don't see a specific use for it. I can't see one..

All plug'n'play essentially, but that CCGX is a bonus. Hopefully all it's connectors are there, so give it some www, and you'll have motorhome monitoring beyond many of your peers.

Happy camping.

Thanks for the replies, I'm trying to avoid getting a sparky out as I've carried out all my own electric installs on a number of previous camper conversions I've done, just with this being the first time using any Victron equipment I just wanted to make sure there was nothing that needed adjusting in the unit and I wasn't sure whether to put the consumer unit before or after the combi after looking around the community posts about consumer units.

I was reading a lot of conflicting posts about where one should be located on previous posts about the consumer unit subjects, some saying before the combi, others saying after or both etc and again as seen above, in the 2 replies I've had, one I think is advising before and the other reply advises after. Is there no confirmed Victron best practice regarding consumer unit locations for hook up etc?

The CCGX didn't come with much wiring, just the unit but I presume it just needs some VE Direct cables to go from the mppt and combi back to the ccgx, a 12v power in and a wifi dongle for remote monitoring and thats it?

Attached is a proposed consumer unit layout which I think would protect both incoming and outgoing 240v to & from the combi from hook up and while inverting, excuse the crudeness of the ms paint picture, it's just to make a proposed layout a bit clearer to understand (I hope). Does this look about right? Quick description:63a 30ma RCB feeding 16a mcb to the combi 240v in. From the combi 240v out back in to another 16a mcb and then off to inverted power sockets. Other MCB's fed directly from the 63a rcd for standard hook up 240v for electric cooker, power sockets etc. See pic attached and forgive crudeness, hopefully its understandable

I'm not a sparky either, and won't enter an argument over this.

But if you look at a Victron Easysolar box, it has onboard an RCD on the AC OUT, the AC IN side expected to provide it's own protection, whether shore, generator, grid, or a hybrid mix (there's a breaker on AC IN, but not an RCD). And the MEN switching capabilities/batt supply within require that where I live.
