how long is the peak surge? probably no breakers would pop that fast?

having a double pole breaker per inverter? regular way to do it from what I've seen in other setups.
which is why it's also better to have each of them doing split phase so you can just turn 1 off if you need to do something and the system still has 5000 watts on each leg

I see what you are saying. Probably have to change the inverters settings.

Settings as far as you think it'll turn off everything if 1 of them goes "offline"?
but for the AC wiring into the breaker isn't that the only way it should be done? breaker per inverter?

This would be ideal - 1ea breaker per inverter

like from will's old videos:
each split phase has this setup:

so as you grow the system you just add more & more 2 pole breakers on the right side

Yes, probably need to reconfigure and disconnect the paralleling cables.

but for the AC wiring into the breaker isn't that the only way it should be done? breaker per inverter?

If you want to go that route, yes, one breaker per inverter.

How are you isolating one of the inverters with a double pole breaker turned off?

That shuts off both inverter outputs when wired like this.

I don't know if I would wire this in using single breakers, double pole would be ideal.

 

[42OhmsPA]

Should be because of the different ways it can actually be wired with those connectors.. I wouldn't trust any other type of wire with those connectors to be the exact same pinout as what they're doing unless it's "straight through" pairing then maybe many wires are the same (still not all)
It's weird they didn't just use rj45 and cat5 or cat6..

They are.
I'll be paying today or tomorrow. They won't ship until next week, regardless.

Why would you not just combine into a PDB, with a breaker on each inverter between the PDB? Using multiple backfed breakers seems like a total pain, and something that would be easy to backfeed the grid...

I think that diagram is just to illustrate a point. Not to wire it into the grid like that. In fact that could be the power distribution box. The wires on top cant be the grid at my location. It would require a main breaker.

yea your pic is the only way I've seen it done.. (which I can't reply to that post cuz it's only an attachment lol)

nice
well I'm hopeful they work for you, seems like a steal I'll have to get on board with them if they do good

I just looked at their cables I though they were using serial connectors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port
but they're using VGA connectors? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector

maybe they had a bunch of cables laying all for the past 20 years over like every office I've ever been to so they wanted to get rid of them

It should be a DB15 serial.

Is DB15 the same as VGA/HD15?

Technically, no, it is different. DB15 is wider and has 15 pins in two rows of 7 and 8, while VGA, H...

I would really prefer two parallel 12-14kW units - to fit the space I have nicely. And leave room for another stack of battery packs! LOL :ROFLMAO: Looking forward to seeing members post on the installation and operation of these.

This is the seller I used. Good coms item arrived quickly after payment. https://x.alibaba.com/AwJjBH?ck=pdp Hope that link works? It opens the alibaba app. Not the parallel version, it doesn't have the parallel ports on the bottom. If it could be put in parallel, they would show a diagram...

oh boy I guess we'll see what you get LOL

Very interesting observation, thank you. I will question this before I place my order.

both cables are good for transmission but I think it's funny and pretty typical, mistakes like this are why china gets mocked by everyone so often.

I think if one goes this route, it would be best to have a separate panel for combining. If off grid or using a transfer switch like I like to use, then feed that combined power to the transfer switch or input lugs of the breaker panel.

If grid backup, then a separate panel for combining and backfeed a double pole in main panel with the hold down and a interlock.

If hybrid, then I guess you can take up all the spaces in the box plus hold downs or add a separate panel for combining.
