Hi All, Now that some inverters have "smart" load capabilities, I am musing on whether to put in a separate bypass for each smart load. I am thinking specifically about the Midnite AIO inverter, where the Smart loads are powered directly from the inverter, rather than just providing a relay to cut power (like in the Avalon SEP, if anyone has used those). The Midnite AIO also has provisions to run other backed up loads directly from the inverter as well.
But if there was a system failure, and you have a bypass switch installed, this will only power the loads in the backed up loads panel from the grid, but not the specific loads that originate from the inverter. Are people installing bypasses for every individual load that originates in the inverter? I was just looking at William's interlock system, but I don't think that you can utilize that kind of system to have some smart loads in there as well. It seems like you can utilize the panel he labels "inverter feed" on his one line diagram to power other backed up loads, but the would not work for a smart load.
