Hi folks, I am planning to install Battery Protect to protect my kind of new OPZV bank by Hoppecke.
Has anyone experience in connect Battery Protect to Phoenix inverter like this? What cable and protection should I use?
(BTW my system has noch DC loads as shown.)

As long as you do NOT use the SBP to directly interrupt the main DC line to the inverter, but rather use it to trigger the remote on/off of your inverter as shown in the diagram (right side drawing) then it will work fine.
Cabling and fusing will be determined as necessary depending on current and voltage drop; there are lots of online calculators available, including the cable calculator in Victron's Toolkit app.
