I'm sorry if this breaks forum protocol. Following the advice in the thread linked just below, I have changed some things. https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/52111/bmv-712-wiring-help.html
I have added a relay switch between my MPPT 100/20 and my loads. I was experiencing power outages when the compressor of the fridge kicked in. Must have been drawing more than the 20 amps the MPPT is rated for.
I have installed the BMV shunt.
I'm 90% sure I have the relay correct as my loads all work and I can turn them all on at the same time without the MPPT shutting off the load state. Furthermore, when load state of the MPPT is turned off manually, the loads turn off as well. It is worth noting that the MPPT no longer registers load current. Perhaps this is expected with the addition of the relay?
However, I think my shunt is in the wrong spot. The BMV It is reading battery voltage and current into the battery. However, it does not measure consumption. I have "infinity" time left in my battery
Could you please confirm the relay looks ok and that the MPPT not registering load anymore is expected?
AND
Could you please help with the Shunt placement? Maybe on the green wire in my attached diagram? I currently have it between battery and MPPT
Best wishes,
Mike
