AC Breakers
The AC Breakers include a two-pole breaker for connecting a generator as well as a By-pass switch to
use if the HoneyBadger has a problem and the load is to be run off the generator alone. Each switch
has an identification label directly below it. These are shown below.
Generator 2-wire auto-start
To the right of the AC breakers, on the DIN
rail, are the two terminals to connect the 2-
wire auto-start for a generator.
A Victron smart charger is also included in the
parts kit. This is to provide a continuous
trickle-charge to the starter battery of the
generator. It can be plugged into any
available power plug.
DC Breakers
The DC Breakers are used for isolating the PV
array and the MPPT from the battery.
If two MPPT’s are included in the system then
there will be two sets of breakers as shown,
otherwise there will be only one set.
This is also the connection point for the
external PV arrays.
Ensure that the maximum PV array volatge
does not exceed 250Vdc and that the polarity
is correct before connecting the PV array, as
if it is reversed it will destroy the MPPT.
