[RE-wrenches] Battery Placement

[jay peltz]

Hi Allan,

that said it is a ETL listed device no?

And in regards to Xantrex, the old DC disconnect had breakers on the side as well as the conduit box for the SW, again UL or ETL listed.
Can you elaborate?

As I understand it, service equipment must have nothing interfering with designated working clearance, within a few inches of depth allowed. With Outback, Magnum, and Xanschneider the breakers are on the front surface and are within the allowable depth. Midnite/Magnum and Midnite/Outback places them back toward the back wall with the inverter on the hinged cover; thus the battery enclosure technically sticks out too far. The XW Midnite panel doesn't have this issue, as it's a different layout. If necessary, one solution would be to mount the E-Panel several inches out from the wall surface.
