Have some questions about earth rod, earthing and TT system when using MG4, V2L to power house. I’m using similar setup as Stageshoot (125 amp changer over switch, 10mm SWA to from C/O switch to a converted type 2 lead with 470 ohm resistor) … Any feedback would be much appreciated.
* Our home earthing is TN. Does the V2L earth rod, new TT system for MG4 connect to existing TN earthing or should earth Rod be connected separately? I have read conflicting comments on the V2L earthing.
• The type 2 lead we have converted has 470 ohm resistor connected to PP and PE pins. The CP pin/wire was/is not connected in our lead. Is this correct?
• Has anyone had any issues with car tripping. And if so what was the cause? Our MG4 has been tripping after short periods, and even when under low load of under 1000 watts.
Car, V2L is showing a power output of around 217 volt.
I noticed that the in car discharge screen constantly shows 17 hours of discharging time remaining. That is when the car battery is charged to 100%, which seems low when load is between 500w -1000w. Has anyone had same issue?
Stageshoot had posted helpful information which was pretty detailed on his installation, is there any other source anyone can direct me to which is more recent and that details installation.
Many thanks in advance for any feedback
