Hi Guys, looking for a little bit of advice if possible.
I have recently purchased some pre-loved Victron equipment which I am very excited to get wired in and in use. I plan on fitting everything I've just purchased in to a motorhome conversion. I purchased a great deal including a Phoenix MulitPlus Combi 12/800/35, colour CCGX control panel, a Carlo Gavazzi monitor (not required I believe) and 2x large Odyssey 214ah agm batteries. I also have a 150/70 MC4 MPPT solar controller with 2x 270w panels.
I have a couple of quick questions I'm hoping someone in the know will be able to fire a quick answer to.
In regards to wiring in a RCD consumer unit for trip protection, should this be wired from the mains before going in to the Combi or on the 240v output from the combi or both (needing 2 consumer units)? If a consumer unit goes before the combi, what amperage would be required for the RCD & MCB for the combi as the unit says it offers 35a of battery charging when on mains yet most camp sites usually only offer 10a-16a on hook up?
The pre-loved equipment I purchased was wired for a residential battery back up power system, does anything need changing inside the combi unit as it will now barely ever be on mains power, only if on hook up at a campsite which will be a rarity (while I own it anyway) or is it a case of pretty much plug & play?
Is the Carlo Gavazzi energy monitor not required for my above purposes which came with the bundle deal I purchased (if not, I'll sell that on)?
Hoping someone can shine some light on the above and clear the confusion.
Thanks in advance
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
