Max switchboard load?
16mm consumer mains single phase, 63a MCB
How many amps can the actual switchboard take?
My scenario: 4 hours of free power from 10am-2pm, I have a 42kwh house battery and an EV.
I also have 10kw of solar panels, I have 2 inverters. 1 for the solar and 1 for the battery which I believe is particularly important
So, in those 4 hours I’ll be charging at 14.5kw from the grid without any issues. But also my solar inverter is pushing power into the switchboard up to 10kw.
Therefore it’s possible my house is using up to 24.5kw of power, 14.5kw coming from the grid and 10kw coming from a solar inverter which is then shared between RCBO’s either feeding house load, ev charger or the house battery.
I know I can use up to 14.5kw from the grid, but at what point does the switch gear/bus bar run out of capacity? Because in my mind there’s 24.5kw running through the switchboard
I attached a old photo of my switchboard from when previous electrican had cover off
Thanks!
