So my Renogy 2000w inverter takes a 240v input, and has a bypass feature in that whilst it’s off or detects 240v it will output that rather than using the leisure battery. So I’ve wired up the output the consumer unit.
However my question is on the input, effectively I want the EHU input to be wired to the input on the inverter.
The inverter came with a mains input lead using an IEC female socket and I’ve got the flex from the EHU input so I just need to connect the two.
However I want to do this properly and securely. I notice the consumer unit has a 40a RCBO, so that sent me off down a path trying to find a way to connect two flexible cables that is rated to 40a. I ordered something from Amazon and it’s massive! How should you connect the two cables so that it’s sufficiently rated?
Thanks in advance.
