That's a good idea. I tested them individually and I tested between black and red and got 240v. But, I did not test between red and red. However, I am unable to do that now because L2 AC output does not work anymore.
Edit:
No need for the test. I can visually see that was my problem. The wires...
I've been doing DIY solar for the last two years. I just expanded my 24kw system to 52kw and the additional 28kw cost me $3,307 including tax.
The Lifepo4 cells I bought are now cheaper on AliExpress. It took 2 and half months for the batteries and parts to ship from China. I did not buy the...
I ran out of cable and had to use the black heat shrink cable for positive. I tested the battery and solar connections for polarity three times before connecting the inverters. I have been running one inverter by itself for two weeks while I waited for the other one to arrive.
I ran out of heat shrink and wire. Initially I only had one inverter. I bought red battery cable and used it for both positive and negative to the inverter. I then got a second inverter and cut the battery cables shorter to reach both inverters.
The battery connections to the inverters are...
I have now Idea why my system blew up. I have two EG4 6000ex split phase inverters I am trying to parallel. I had been running on one inverter for a few weeks. after receiving the second one I connected it via the manual and it made a loud pop and displayed error code 09. I contacted technical...
I took off all my cable management to test the equipment. I have already passed local and home insurance inspections. Although, once I figure this out I'll likely redo all the AC wires with 6/3 wire in conduit.
I agree, which is why I bought from and recommended a seller from Will Prowse battery recommendation page. Better to buy from a trusted store then to give your money away to scammers.
Will Prowse's recommendation was good. The cells arrived in great condition and were all the same voltage. None...
The first time the mosfets blew I had solar going to only one eg4 6000ex inverter at S8P3. On the second attempt I moved moved one string of solar panels to the second inverter for S8P2 and S8P1.
See DC connections below for both inverters.
On the inverter I got first I used 6 awg for all...
I completed my setup adding the sup panel (per Signature Solar's recommendation), EG4 split phase 6000EX-48HV, 49 Nissan leaf batteries in S14P7, and 5.5kw in solar panels. I bought an extra Nissan leaf module for 24kw battery bank. I couldn't fit the rest of the panels. I was going to place...
I bought two eg4 6500ex48 and did the update with the neutral bond. My lights are flickering. I currently run it in split phase with the neutral bond bypass enabled. It doesn’t flicker all the time. It seems to be when I charge my Nissan Leaf and when my gaming pc is on.
I have everything on...
I purchased the EG4 split phase 6000EX-48HV along with 6KWs in solar panels to add to my current solarcity 4.5KW Grid-Tie system. The easiest way to connect it would be to wire a sub panel with critical loads to be powered by the EG4 inverter. However, the grid tie inverter will still go down...
The good news is that now the lines are not mixed-up and I tested it with a multimeter. However, the first inverter still does not provide power to AC output line 2. It does not give an error code. I'm thinking maybe a fuse was blown in the first inverter. the unit did come with an extra fuse...
I’m having an issue with my two split phase 6500s and a 2.5 ton. I have it on the micro air soft start which measures the the start up amp at 21amps. The heat pump alone is not a problem but when I added the air handler it dims and blinks the light whenever it starts up for about 2 seconds...
I admit that would be easier. I used the wire that I had on hand. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with signature solar testing each connection to make sure it was wired correctly. I even sent them pictures and videos and they found nothing wrong with the connections. I couldn't find any videos...
It's a dual pole mini breaker and the subpanel will allow regular and mini breakers. I tested both inverters individually before trying to parallel them. also tested to make sure that each leg of the mini breaker was outputting 120v. The mini breaker was able to provide the necessary power to...
Well, the 240v is splitting 4800 watts across both inverters. I put the inverter to never charge by the grid. Most of the time it does not flicker now after changing that setting so I’ll I’ve to test it this weekend. I think if I get more batteries I won’t have this issue anymore. My 25kw...
Looks like my system is actually a 2 ton system. I actually just put in a new air handler motor last year, so I have the motor specs (see below photos.)
I calculated:
1/5 HP = 0.2
CL:B = 3.54kva
3.54 X 1000 X 0.2 = 708
708 / 240v = 2.95
2.95 / 1.73= 1.7 startup amps
if my math is correct, it...
