We are all electric, have two of the above plus four storage batteries totalling 34 kWh’s yet in the event of a power cut have no access to switching anything on be it heating or lighting.
I believe the inverters are capable of supplying energy in the event of a power cut via an Emergency Power supply but can find no information on how this can be implemented.
I’m hoping somebody can advise me or my installer further on the matter please?
There’s a guide on the givenegy KB site
Google givenegy KB EPS
That should get you what you need.
Many thanks TX200 that is very helpful, I’ve downloaded the five page guide and will send to my installer in the morning. From my limited understanding it would appear we could possibly create two separate 3 kW circuits, which is fine, rather than combining to make a single circuit of 6 kW’s.
Our property’s earthing arrangement is TT.
Will the guide contents be sufficient for my installer or have I missed something important?
You definitely do not want to combine the output of two inverter EPS circuits. Bad things happen, things go bang.

Reading the Inverter Installation maual on page 8 is a diagram under the heading Full Property Backup which I take to mean that all available circuits can be kept alive and utilised when needed providing no more than 3600 Watts are drawn at any one time! Am I correct that this would include our solar system and Indra V2H unit which, if so, is absolutely ideal as the batteries could then be topped up during daylight hours and or the house to run off the EV battery if necessary.
Apologies if I am being overly optimistic here it’s just that my installer is suggesting I need to separate out a couple of circuits from existing consumer unit and run them only ignoring PV and V2H.
Please excuse my naivety here but if at all possible I really shoulld like to keep the house alive in it’s entirety rather than simply a couple of circuits. Any advice offered would be very much appreciated.
