Multiplus II AC Out 2 Wiring - Is this OK?

An electrician has just installed the AC cabling for 2 parallel Multiplus II's and has only connected the L (Active) cable to the AC Out 2 connectors. He states the Neutral is joined in the Distribution Enclosure which feeds in & out to the Multi's.

This is what is looks like in the Multi's:

Is this OK?

If not, what are the implications of turning the Multi's on?

Note this is a house installation & not a mobile installation.

Thanks Rob.

Not sure what you mean by "feed the two on top of each other". Could you expand on that?

Secondly, will anything 'bad' happen if I turn on the Multi's?

Hi

They have two cables into one gland point.? Should be separate, not sure what effect it would have. Just not ideal way of doing things totaly wrong.

It looks like he's using the input neutral for output. Totally wrong. Input and output neutrals must be separate and never connected together. The Multi does this internally.

Also, ALL wiring to the two parallel multis must be identical length. That is to say AC input lengths must match, AC output lengths must match, DC connection to battery lengths must match.
