Thought my inverter had failed .....

[BritManToo]

So the electricity from the inverter went off, inverter showing fault.

Fiddled around restarting, bit of sizzling, fault returned.

 

But with the kitchen MCB off, everything else works and no fault and no sizzling.

Kitchen supply all on one fuse connected to the inverter.

Kitchen sockets x2, kitchen light, car port light, under-stairs light, gate light, doorbell all on one wire disappearing into conduits sunk into the wall.

Would have to take the kitchen ceiling down to trace it all out.

 

Lucky I have grid tied sockets in the kitchen as well added myself directly to the fuse box on its own circuit when I first installed solar.

So a quick extension lead to the fridge and microwave to get them working.

 

Don't know what to do about the rest, can't be bothered taking the ceiling down.

Will need to think carefully how to run a new lighting circuit with it's own MCB.

Generally I've found the inverter much quicker to find fault and turn off than any of the MCBs.
