Hey Tony, thanks for the important battery issue as a safety precaution. :-)

 

I'd like to add some general safety tips:

 

- electricity is dangerious and KILLS. Get a skilled professional to do the wiring and setup or risk frying your equipment

- When designing such, do not load with any device that has capacitiance, inductance loads eg a motor drive

- Use sequential startup to devices as you do not want to create a load surge on the batteries.

- Safety first. Wherever possible, including inputs and outputs add in-line fuses on DC /circuit breakers on AC lines to prevent risk of fire or shock or accidental shortcircuits

- Use correct cabling and terminators. Eg on DC side from batteries to invertor/ups, always use heavy duty flame retardent cables. connectors should be anti-corrosive and covered with Gel to prevent moisture buildup.

- ALL outlets must be clearly marked as BACKUP supply ( DC or AC )

- if you have kids, ensure the entire system is raised a few feet above ground and locked securely.

 

Pls add/correct as needed.
