My peak with dryer and HP running is 8kw. 500w-2000W normal/base loads. Pulling 1900W solar in. N-G bond is static in the panel before the inverters with screw removed from inverters. Battery 52.4V
Idk it just ran a full cycle without hesitation 3 wire dryer
I have lead acid bank 5kwh I built it as just a ups system until I can get lipo4s to cycle with. The system is setup with the inverters feeding a sub panel that supplys the whole house.
I get no flickering/dimming when you start it or the heat pump. The dryer just shuts off but the timer keeps...
I have 2 Lv6548s running my house in SUB mode. With the new demand charges from 2-7pm I added a timer to switch to SBU during this time. I've discovered that while in battery mode the dryer won't run whether you start it in utility or battery mode it will shut off after a minute or two in...
That's kind of tough to do because you really need almost everything to make anything work.
My sma inverter needs 190v to run in MPPT so that is a minimum of 4 panels. And racking isn't necessary but a good idea.
If you are looking at zero export look at the EG4 6000/6500 series or similar...
Mvonw, did you ever get to finish this experiment? I've been toying with this very idea but running it through my radiant slab floor in the garage (instead of radiator) to keep it above freezing and hopefully take the edge off of the 105 degree heat in the summer.
So I'm not sure why but I fired it up tonight and switched to sbu it ran flawless for over an hour so I switched it back to sub and two hours in with no restart.
Yes this is a quick-n-dirty battery wiring to test with. The batteries are 4 12v deep cells wired in series with all 2/0 wire. Charge/equalize at 58v when shutdowns occurred
I was running in SUB mode as I'm grid tied with 1-1 so I want to float batterys and use the 2500w of solar on these...
They feel Cool to the touch on the front (grey) panel fans are in low speed. First time it happened was within 5min of startup. I lose power for 2-3 seconds before they fire up again. I haven't tested without solar yet. This evening I'm going to try sbu
I finally got all the parts together for my LV6548 setup and fired it up Saturday and it immediately started randomly restarting every 15-45min I've searched the forum and can't find anything I'm missing the communication cables are outside the gutter to prevent interference, I've got 4s panels...
@usphisics On your emporia go to menu/notifications/ add alert. There add an alert for mains consumption of slightly lower than the rated surge of the inverter your looking at for 3 sec. (Or rated constant for 30sec)
It will send you an alert if that sub panel exceeds the surge (constant)...
Think of the ground system as a separate system than the power system, it keeps EVERYTHING connected to it at the same potential as the earth. No potential difference no shocky.
But if power were to short to ground you want ONE (1) path to complete the circuit back to the source (transformer or...
I was just reading a few generator threads and thought I'd throw this out to see what others think.
If someone was having problems with frequency shift from their undersized generator could you install a variable frequency drive,like used to make 3ph from split phase. Then just program it to 60hz?
