Indeed, it's an 'all in one' inverter charger, with the added possibility of an AC input in case batteries or PV run out.

Ok, understood. looks like the AC input is out of the equation then. Main house has a wire going straight into the outside concrete.

All the examples of this Inverter that I can find online are connected to AC via a wall socket. See this or this Option A is a pain, as the house rod is far from the outbuilding and there is lawn and concrete to dig a cable through etc. Option B equals ground loop. Option C. That's a good...

The Instructions don't specify which type. But if I install a second rod connected to the Inverter, then a ground loop will be formed when I connect the Inverter's AC Input, like this guy explains on this video.

Hi I have a hybrid inverter that accepts AC input (from mains), and DC inputs (from solar panels and batteries). This is to be installed in an outbuilding as an ‘offgrid’ system (except for the AC input, which obviously is connected to the grid). The inverter’s manual states that it needs to...

Hello A few years ago I replaced (and rewired & changed back plate) a Honeywell ST7100 with a new Honeywell st9400c for a gravity system. The reason was that the old controller was coming ON at random times (both HW and CH) when it should have been OFF. However, this problem has persisted for...

Hi, There is a bit of information about this subject in the forum but it's about 5 years old, so please allow me to bring it up again. Basically we are moving into a house that hasnt got proper sub floor ventilation (timber subfloor). The reason for this is that it's a semidetached house...

Hi all, I'd like to record digital tv (freview) channels on my dvd hd recorder by using the 'timer' record option (ie different day/time) on the recorder. I know how to set up the recorder. The problem is: -If the digital tv (freview capable) is turned off, the digital recorder does not...

Hi all, Recently I bought an acer aspire 3630 from ebay. The screen froze when moved, and generated lines etc. I found out that by pressing the corners of the screen I could get a temporary fix (loose lcd connection?). However it was a pain, and I decided to change the lcd after checking that...

thanks, that is useful to know,although I just reach with my hand in an awkward position, and I havent got the strength in my fingers to undo it from the tap.

Hi all, I was uninstalling my old dishwasher but I found one problem. The water supply line is stuck to the dishwasher. The plastic nut is completely 'glued' to the water tube. So ,what should I do? Should I cut through the tube? In this case, can I buy a new nut part and fix it to the line...

ok, for a while i thought the dishwasher was going to make it, but it didnt, regardless of the central heating. I better have it checked

thanks. Sorry for my late reply... Plumber is taking ages to come back with replacement, so i am gonna phone him and ask him for the exact name of the part, and then check myself if they have got it in bosch customer support. Regarding the dishwasher, it runs ok as long as the central...

thanks to all, It's funny (well, it's not really) 'cos there was a leak after all (and dont ask me who's to blame (':oops:') logically, it made sense for the pressure to go down after I bled the system,though I guess people thought the loss was too extreme...and they were right...

yes, the grey knob is turning (I've taking it out and checked that the flat side of the internal white knob is turning). it looks like the valve may be gone,as there's no end to the turning. I dont think I forced it though! Where's the water going? good question. I have no leaks as far as I know.
