Inverter and EHU problems as fitted to our Hymer (1 Viewer)

Are you sure that the Sterling unit isn't an inverter/charger and the electroblok should have been unplugged?

Hi Eddie,

No its a standard Sterling 1800W inverter and also has the Sterling B2B charger

The one on the left is the only RCD David. That protects the whole van at 30ma. The four on the right are double pole circuit breakers that provide the over current protection for each sub circuit.

Hi Andy, I realised once I'd typed it but thought it might confuse matters more lol.

On a side note, just buying the bits and bobs to build a changeover relay and remember reading you using a 10amp rated relay to do the switching (or did I dream it), I've ordered the Finder 230v 30amp DPDT relay thinking I needed at least 16amp or better still 25amp to be on the safe side but can't think why I think I read you using 10amp?

Cheers David.

I'm not familiar with that relay, have you a link?
The one I use is 10 amp through the normally closed contacts (more than enough for a 2k inverter) and 30 amps through the N/O contacts

On some occasions I use a switch in the locker where the hook up cable is stored
