  • Containing a battery pack meltdown.

    Any thoughts on something like this: 15kwh 14s 18650 battery pack, Put it at the bottom of a 55 gallon steel drum put a couple 32 packs of water bottles inside the barrel above the batteries. Cut a hole in the lid and install a cooling fan. If all the other safety measures failed for some...
  • Calibrate a Chargery BMS16T

    Not sure if my expectations were too high, but every cell is 3.345 to 3.350 (yes my meter is calibrated) And yes I have double checked the crimps on the balance wires, they are solid. (even though in my head this shouldn't matter w/ balancing turned off?) Concerned about the 58mv difference...
  • New Growatt ES5000 safety issue?

    Maybe I just missed it when all the other Growatt safety stuff was going down last month, But I just noticed something I wasn't expecting with my Growatt ES 5000(USA) I believe this is an artifact of originally being an EU design. Both the Solar panel + and - inputs are connected directly to...
  • TE Connectivity contactor getting stuck?

    I've noticed that my "LEV200A4ANA" will get suck closed/on after a while. A few times when I tried to manually turn it off after about a month of being on it won't turn off. I can get it unstuck by turning it on and off several times, but that defeats the purpose of it. Is it a known thing that...
  • SC48120-MPV - Solar Assistant logging possible?

    I have 3 Growatt 5000ES's hooked up to Solar Assistant currently, Just added an SC48120-MPV and wondering if it can be added? I saw someone talk about hooking it up to solar assistant, but not having any luck. There is no option for the Growatt SC's in Solar Assistant, Also tried connecting the...
  • Polarity of EATON 250Vdc shunt trip breaker

    I have a couple Eaton HFD2125 125A breakers but can't find the datasheet. Does anyone know if polarity matters on this style of breaker? Like should my battery (+) be connected to the top or the bottom of the breaker? I vaguely recall reading that these big breakers have a magnet to force the...
  • Growatt 5000es - Simple protection from lost neutral?

    Was thinking about this on the way to work today... I think a setup like this gives you reasonably good protection from a floating neutral with a 240v inverter? No flipping / tripping of a breaker results in a floating neutral. (tripping the transformer breaker cuts all power to the load...
