Manual attached. On page 8 it says:
The recommended spec of AC breaker is 10A
for 1KVA, 20A for 2KVA, 32A for 3KVA/3KVA Plus and 50A for 5KVA.
Hybrid inverter specifications:
Nominal battery voltage: 24V
Continuous power output: 3000W / 3000VA
Surge power: 6000VA
Output voltage: 230V AC...
Thank you all for the info. I think I'll go for Panel B in series: slightly cheaper, slightly simpler, and arguably more productive.
Yes, 2s2p would be ideal, and I may yet do it in future, but I will squeezing the 3 panels on the roof as it is, so the 4th one will have to be on the ground...
OK, sorry, I think I have been using the term' inverter' for the whole AIO unit, and this can be confusing as there also a charger and many other parts/functions inside the AIO unit.
I am also not sure what S&B means! So not sure what you mean. I have a breaker in the house, and a breaker in...
I am going to buy 3 panels, and need to make a decision: do I buy the higher spec panels which can only be connected in parallel? Or do I buy slightly smaller panels that allow me either series or parallel configuration, with the bonus of a higher voltage reading (when connected in series)...
Hi
I have one of these hybrid MMP inverters (see specs below), which I intend to use in an outbuilding that has also access to grid electricity (AC Input). I have seen a few install videos on you tube (including Will Prowse's) and all of them use (half) an extension cord to connect directly into...
Aside from my house Circuit breaker panel (which is grounded as per UK regulations), the outbuilding where the inverter is being installed has its own AC breaker 'box'. So the AC outlets in the outbuilding are connected to this AC breaker, which is itself connected to the house AC breaker (and...
Ah I see! :)
Sure, it feels a bit overkill having two AC breakers in the outbuilding (not counting the one on the AC out from the AIO), where I could just connect the AIO AC input directly to the existing AC breaker in the outbuilding. More expense on wire, but no need to get a new AC breaker...
Sure, the only thing is that I can DIY an extension cord to connect to an existing power outlet, but not sure if I should install an AC breaker myself. Could I use the same cable that feeds the AC outlet and put an AC breaker instead? I'll have to do some research, or just call an...
Thanks for this, but at the moment I don't know the answer to the 'big question', and the system is not at the stage where it can be tested the way you suggest. I'll also need to 'decode' some of the technical stuff you mention. I'll keep it mind though...
I don't think this applies here? I was talking about connecting the inverter's AC input, not the output. From some replies heres, it seems clear that an AC breaker is the way to go anyway.
Although actually, I was planning using a female extension cord on the AC output, so that I c an connect...
Ok, I get the message. So the question is, is this a DIY job? I guess as long as I get the breaker with the right specs it should be easy enough? Not sure if I could use the same cable that feeds the wall outlet, and just replace the outlet for the AC breaker? Or would I have to replace the...
This is helpful ,thanks.
The thing is that it is not just Will's videos. I have seen several other installations from different people that use extension cords for both AC input and AC output. Odd!
I would need a 32A AC breaker for the AC input of my system, according to the manual. I thought...
