1 · Identity & duty
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Box type | SPZ-EL-MS-D — WashBoX (4.5 m) |
| Daily energy demand (modelled) | 18.2 kWh/day at 90% soc-cycle discipline |
| Circuits | Wash machine ring · Dryer ring · Geyser · Counter + POS · Lighting + security |
2 · Distribution board schedule
| Breaker | Poles | Circuit |

| 20 A | 1P | Wash ring |
| 20 A | 1P | Dryer ring |
| 20 A | 1P | Geyser |
| 10 A | 1P | POS + lighting |
3 · Autonomy plant — Rev A (as quoted) vs Rev B (autonomy-corrected)
| Plant | Rev A | Rev B (required) | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| PV array | 4.5 kWp | 6.6 kWp | 2.1 kWp |
| Battery bank (LiFePO4) | 10 kWh | 13.4 kWh | 3.4 kWh |
| Inverter (hybrid) | 8 kVA | 10 kVA | 2.0 kVA |
| Generator auto-start | no | yes | added |
UPGRADE REQUIRED — SPZ-EL-MS-D. Geyser + dryer duty cycle exceeds Rev A battery — Rev B or load-shed geyser schedule.
4 · Autonomy rule (grid-independence first)
Every SpazaBoX must trade through a 48-hour grid outage with zero brown-out on cold chain and POS. Grid/generator input is charge-only — the autonomy bus is inverter-first. Compliance: SANS 10142-1 (SA wiring code), CoC per registered electrician before energising any unit.
