Hi All, To add to this discussion, One of our team has just completed a safety isolation to a single phase residential property to clear trees from the service line. Removed the pole mounted service fuse and tested the service line to confirm de-energised, He then noticed the lights were still on in the house, On investigation found the house had a solar and battery setup. He advised the tree cutters and turned off the main switch and applied a safety tag.

Question is – Is this OK, No visible break but it’s isolated and tested, should we be applying an earth? I’m not sure if I’m OK with our guys removing fixed wiring from the back of switch board.

Can we rely on the electronics in the inverter? Should we?

Interested in everyone’s thoughts and experience.
