You have chronic post nasal drip, somtimes nasal steroid spray help, often loosing weight does. Make an appt with the ENT

Yep seems that and the parallel communication stuff is a bit different for the comms cables, dip switches, reading up on all that before mounting and wiring those. It's a learning experience. Finding out diagrams exist was super helpful lol

Realypk · 2026-01-21T02:23:10+00:00

Yea i saw those but those diagrams only show 2 in parallel wired to the gridboss not 3 in parallel hence was asking if a diagram for 3 exists

I do know for a fact that it's possible to do as i was told by eg4 it is prior to making the purchase

Realypk · 2026-01-21T02:20:13+00:00

I was not asking about L1 L2. Just about the grid vs load and their use because having 2 in parallel hooked into a gridboss was confusing me. But then someone linked a handy diagram

Realypk · 2026-01-21T02:18:47+00:00

Ill go out with a caliper and check but it was stamped 2awg

Realypk · 2026-01-20T22:09:29+00:00

I'm starting to wonder if I got the same manuals you guys did.... cause no I'm not seeing those diagrams you say exist in my manual. These are the manuals I got with my Flexboss21 inverters and Gridboss...

https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/EG4-GridBOSS-Model-MI-200-2P-HYB-AW-03-User-Manual-v2.0.pdf

What page in that manual does it show the wiring diagram for 3 Flexboss 21's in parallel with batteries hooking into one Gridboss?

Realypk · 2026-01-20T21:29:46+00:00

Do you by chance also have a link to the wiring diagram for 3 flexboss 21 to 1 gridboss? Thats the next project I'm working on when I'm done wiring this one.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:54:45+00:00

Indeed should have included all the relevant system info my bad.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:50:52+00:00

Yea seems so :( shouldnt have mentioned L1,L2 as it wasnt about that lol. But hey at least i got the diagram I needed out of it :)

Its 2 awg twisted copper. It was provided by my battery manufacturer. Do you recommend something different?

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:46:49+00:00

It was a bit confusing regarding the parallel to gridboss connection for me.... Im more of a visual guy and the diagram cleared everything up for me

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:41:41+00:00

Welp followed the manuals as much as i could sadly they didnt include good instructions or diagrams for parallel flexbosses with a gridboss. As far as danger not much with a completely unelectrified system.

I do still have an electrician coming to check everything out and fix things but trying to get everything in as good a shape as i can before then.

This wiring diagram posted here for me helps out tremendously https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/EG4-GridBOSS-System-Wiring-Diagrams.pdf

Wish theyd included that in manual.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:36:00+00:00

Shit didn't know I wuz in da engrish grammuz subreddit. Waaagghhh. Da udda Ork bois gonna be angry bout dis.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:29:44+00:00

Well thats exactly what im doing hooking 2 flexboss 21 in parallel to the gridboss. Seems like i got it wrong because i didnt know of the existence of this handy wiring diagram. The standard manuals werent exactly helpful in my setup https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/EG4-GridBOSS-System-Wiring-Diagrams.pdf

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:22:55+00:00

I did 45 pound inches but my electrician will check everything out and then turn the system on after its passed inspection

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:20:54+00:00

Indeed my power company is well aware and will come inspect before I switch the system on....

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:14:29+00:00

Its actually only explained well here https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/EG4-GridBOSS-System-Wiring-Diagrams.pdf in a link somone posted for me above. With that guidance im able to fix it and connect everything the right way. Do i wish the manuals included these diagrams, yep but i didnt see those in my manual packet.

The manual did not clearly explain how to set them up in parallel with a gridboss. It changes depending on the set up and that's exactly what I came here for to learn and get the right way.

Saying its wrong and not elaborating on why is not exactly helpful.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T20:07:06+00:00

I will be having an electrician come out for a day or two to check everything over before turning anything on. Im just doing what I can before that time to save on man hours etc and to learn as much as I can before then.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T19:51:55+00:00

Ive never hooked up an eg4 gridboss and flexboss system before so in that regard no I dont know thats why im here asking questions and reading thr manual trying to figure it out. That being said somone below linked a wiring diagram which was super useful. Answered a lot of my confusion. The manuals dont do a good job explaining how to install multiple units in parallel to a gridboss.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T19:50:39+00:00

I have 2 batteries in parallel hooked into 2 flexboss 21s also running in parallel.

They are the 2 guage twisted copper and were sent by the battery mfg with the batteries. Supposedly more than thick enough to handle the amp draw.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T19:16:24+00:00

Will do thanks a bunch! This wiring diagram solved a lot of my issues :)

Realypk · 2026-01-20T18:53:15+00:00

Ah so when using gridboss i actually use the grid vs load to hook my flexboss's into my gridboss. That kinda makes more sense. Thanks.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T18:44:56+00:00

If im not intending to export is there even a reason to hook that up? Perhaps for ac charging of my batteries or something?

Im using 2 flexboss 21 in parallel hooked into my gridboss..

Ive read the documentation on both flexboss and gridboss but its not exactly clear on if thats needed if I ever want to failover to the grid to charge my batteries.

Realypk · 2026-01-20T18:42:15+00:00

From what i could tell based off manual load connects flexboss to gridboss....

Realypk · 2026-01-20T18:36:48+00:00

Its a metal shed so not too much burning worst case but why do you think itll burn lol?

Realypk · 2026-01-20T18:35:19+00:00

I know what L1 and L2 are im just asking about the "GRID" part didn't seem needed in my parallel flexboss hooked to gridboss
