[Question] Eco Flow smart system

[markthespark]

Has anyone connected up an Eco Flow smart home system? If so how does one protect the circuits from earth leakage during load shedding? Is this unit legally accepted on the South African market?

These are mobile units, not really designed for connecting to the house, I am sure there are going to be people who use the suicide cord and others who are going to connect them to the electrical installation.

You would need to follow the same steps as connecting a mobile generator.

I am so over dealing with load shedding, I have even taken to "making a plan". I have a piece of cabtyre directly from a plug top into my mains breaker, with a 5 kva VOV genrator and a flat lead acid battery connected to the essetial supply, which I just cant bring myslef to replace with a R20k lithium battery or aother lead acid one which will be dead in less than 6 months, because I cant adjust the cutout voltage to 11.5 VDC, it is set at 10.5 VDC, which just takes 5 days of stage 6 load shedding and its dead.

The joke is I install solar backup systems going into the millions, yet I have a 12 VDC 7 anphr lead acid battery feeding a switch next to my eskom powered switch with with twin flex glued to the wall up to a 5 ft 12 VDC LED in my office.

You concerned about it being legally accepted in SA, I dont believe we even use SABS standard anymore. Ther is absolutely no control over products being dumped in SA and sold to the public.

Here we have people concerned about installing lithium batteires inside your house, I see there are units designed to mount against your wooden wall inside your wooden cabin.

Maybe these batteries have afire rated enclosure?
