[RE-wrenches] OB Radian question

Ok, time to break wrenches radio silence over the last week. My question concerns the Radian battery terminal connections. I don't need nor want to use the expensive GSLC box in a 23-y.o. off-grid upgrade to a Radian. That means the battery-to-inverter connections will be exposed, unless I find an

Kirk: You need a place to install OCPDs, Negative and other bussing, shunts , AC distribution and an FNDC if you want one. I recommend using all the matching BOS hardware. In the old days installs were far less robust or elegant without it. This is not a place to pinch pennies, in my opinion.

Jason, I think I agree with your interpretation of the wiring diagram. My hesitation is, with a 1-1/4” KO for AC inputs, only choice seems to be a >24” stub conduit for 2/0 conductores to a fused disconnect. Not a fun pipe to bend…and extra BOS seems like a less than ideal solution. Is this your

Get a section of 8” gutter. It will fit nicely under the inverter. Obviously cutting holes in the top for all the wire, inverter connections. I haven’t tried the vfx covers but it’s the same plastic insulated connectors, should fit. Jay > On May 7, 2022, at 6:12 PM, Kirk Herander via RE-wren
