Solar Power Equipment

Samantha Said:

Is it wise to connect Solar Power into a wall outlet, rather than directly at a breaker?

We Answered:

as long as the circuit breaker is off and no one has access to it but you, so it won't be accidentally turned on.

as long as you don't over load your circuit i.e matching wire size to over current protection device

the weak link sounds like the receptacle, (worn contacts, degraded, loose connections) change it with a new one and make sure it is rated the same amperage as the breaker in the MDP, if the circuit is a 20A and the receptacle is only rated 15A then you can only use a breaker rated at 15A on the back feed.

wrap the wire around the screw type or saddle clamp type receptacle not the push in crap. make it tight, that includes wire nuts...loose connections cause fires.

and i would use a DC rated circuit breaker to protect the inverter instead of just a manual disconnect and an AC rated circuit breaker for equal to or less than the lowest ampacity item in the circuit.

Who else thinks global warming is a hoax?

The idea is to scare you so they can control you. After all, who needs government 'help', if you can take care of yourself?
Increased government regulation empowers the government at the expense of your personal liberty (freedom). This makes them stronger and you weaker.
