I also have the charge controller's connected close to the inverter, about 1m away (cable length) the one in the shed is about .5m and connect to the bus bar.
Last night mucking around I found a clamp on ferite ring on the output of the charge controller, don't know when I put it there, anyway clamped it onto the negative cable between the inverter and the copper bus bar and noticed the ferite ring vibrate in my hand, let it slump on the cable and could hear it ringing, sounds like 50Hz, so removed it, all this is going through the BMS (I refer to it as a Battery Management Switch) the ferite ring made no noticeable change in the current reading on the phone app, sort of expected that.
Anyway everything is working well and will see how or if it changes when I put the Homebrew inverter in place, I have run the previous 2 builds on FLA batteries but not on the lifepo4 battery yet.
Looking forward to a bit better weather.
