I just set this up and it works fine but I get some juice where I shouldn't. I haven't tried plugging to the grid yet, but when I switch on the batteries I read something like 1 volt in the red&black wires that I'm supposed to plug to the grid. If I touch the red wire with my finger I can feel a tiny bit of current, although I'm isolated from the ground. What is this faggotry ? All the connections are made with electrical tape which is kind of lame, but there's no short circuit as far as I can tell.
Plz halp

It seems that it might be because it's a switch with a pilot light. Fucking shit. Is this safe ?

You shouldn't be touching anything you tie into the grid anytime soon.

Yeah I'm definitely not touching anything on purpose. I felt the juice because there was not supposed to be any and I was doing the last connections. I did some more research and the voltage I get is definitely due to the light. I'll have to check that it doesn't go both ways 'cause I don't want to send 1 volt to my inverter.

What would you recommend ? Connectors are a pain in the ass.

Please show picture instead of drawing

Why is the switch on neutral? Get it to the live. Also, when the battery is reading 1v, is the inverter running normally? No overheating, etc

First of all, this thread screams "I don't know what I'm doing!!".
You are toying with mains voltage, batteries and inverters..
My biggest concern is not you getting electrical chock, but a fault in the circuit which would connect your mains and inverter together, this could result in all sorts of fun!
That being said, you should use a double pole switch, so you switch both neutral and mains.
And please do ground your inverter as well, just the chassis.
