Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Bryan, I use double pole DC breakers on the input side of my GTI inverters and also double pole AC breakers on the output.
The labels on my inverters say turn the output off first then the input to isolate them.
Turning off the AC breakers on the output shuts them down by anti islanding then isolating the panels from them makes them safe to work on.
300 volts DC would be pretty nasty if it got hold of you.
I run one of my GTI inverters at around 240 volts DC and the other is around 170 volts DC. I would have liked to keep the DC under the 120 volt level but the GTIs I have wont start up at that voltage.
Have fun
Glad to hear the ute just needed and oil change. Not sure why it would smoke so much and need a trailer but hopefully it is fixed
Pete
