Dear All,
I am looking for a verification on my off-grid schematic drawing before actually implementing. Any comments/tips/tricks would be more than welcome!
I have specific concerns with regards to grounding. I have a permanent ground-stake, about 6 meters deep. Considering the battery-cables are 50mm2 (1 AWG) thick, and I don't have a 70mm2 (0 AWG) crimping-pliers, I thought 2 x 35mm2 should do the job!?
Am I right with regards to the point where grounding should take place (in this off-grid situation), on the busbar?
As the generator can't be placed close to the batteries (+/- 20 meters in between), I bought a 'mobile' ground-stake for the generator. Is this ok, or should it always be grounded by the same ground-stake as the batteries?
The setup:
Victron EasyPlus 1600VA
Victron SmartSolar MPPT 70/15 ( x 3)
Victron Battery Switch (275A)
Victron BMV-702 Battery Monitor
Victron Shunt (500A)
Fusebox (3x20A max 100A)
Talamex busbar (300A) (yet to be purchased)
HBM 4-stroke 2000W/1600W generator
