Please tell me how all the 120v breakers are working since it is designed to be fed by 240. Are there not 2 separate legs feeding every other breaker like a regular panel?
That is correct. I think I explained, maybe rather quickly, that my TT-30 to L14-30 adapter wires the single incoming hot leg to both hot legs on its output. I’m sending the same 120V to both bussbars in the switch, which makes it for single pole loads only.
It came with Siemens breakers intalled. The ones I changed out to single pole were replaced with Eaton BR, because I already had them as spares for my main panel.
Helpful. Video - thank you. Do you grid charge while running any circuits from your AC300? Curious if you have any concerns with shared neutral under this condition.
Yes I do, and I have had no problems with it so far in the 3-4 weeks it has been in continuous operation. It is on a 30A circuit from my main panel with a 30A cord per the Bluetti home integration guide PDF. I have max grid input set to 30A. I even experimented with a 2500W load on the AC300 through the switch, and set it to force recharge. It pulled ~3000W from utility and whatever solar it could get, while supplying the output. They seem to have designed for the neutral loop.

hello! i couldnt hear you about the breaker. it looks like you are using Siemens breaker but was it a, 20 Amp Single-Pole Type QP Circuit Breaker?

Oh cool, another project to do this summer! Nicely done and easy to see and understand. 🙏
Glad you liked it! I wanted to show the fiddly parts that I have not seen demonstrated. 22 wires to connect is a lot to keep track of.

What website did you purchase the L14-30 twist lock from?
Employee store, I work for them. It is available many places.
Got it!
I hope you find it useful.
