[QUOTE="Sound_Hound_SA, post: 1096481, member: 22921"] I always hated the idea of using an inverter on a plug socket You need to make sure that your DB when switched off is not feeding eskoms neutral into the DB, this can be done by using a double pole breaker to feed Eskom's neutral into your circuits and switch off the double pole breaker during load shedding. If you do not completely isolate eskoms neutral you will have fireworks for sure, you do not want eskoms neutral to flow into your inverters neutral when the power returns. Often some sparkies bypass earth leakage for certain appliances. Always consult with a qualified electrician before connecting anything especially an inverter [/QUOTE]
