[QUOTE="binky, post: 527723, member: 490"] Never share an RCD with a solar system, the standards for inverters to shut down in the event of a grid failure, 3 seconds, means you could be kilked by the solar. In reality inverters shut down faster than that, but not necessarily as quick as an RCD, so if you say ran over a cable mowing the lawn, the RCD may trip, but the inverter carries on frying you. Your board might be adaptible for a new circuit not shared with the solar, have a look inside if you feel able, and look for a third neatral bar. [/QUOTE]
