I ran 4/0 about 2’ long from battery to MP in front compartment of the fifthwheel, I have 2 x 200=400 ah Litime batteries it passes thru a 400a class T fuse and disconnect.
I will go in and look at the dynamic limiter to see what it is set at . I have to get the laptop and connect to see it I believe.
I have a shunt but it’s a renogy (saving up for the smart shunt.)
Rocket, I have ordered the #6 stranded and 2-50a blue sea breakers, hopefully they show up on time, I will be in Yuma next week so I’m hoping to get them installed next Wednesday. I turned off the solar to one of the chargers it was getting warm and the cheap inline fuse I bought was getting...
Q-dog, i did order some new blue sea 50a breakers and #6 wire I checked that stereo inline fuse and it was getting warm so I shut it down.
Gonna have to change out that wire,breakers etc.
Thanks for the heads up.
You can run surface across drywall to the other panel with your liquid tite conduit. They make a 90deg connector that will go in the bottom KO of the panel and across the surface of the wall.
Or cut the wall open drill the studs and run some AC cable or conduit and then drywall patch and you...
I haven’t set any parameters in the multiplus it is all the default settings. I figured i Will plug it into a dedicated 20 A cir in the garage tomorrow and try that.
I had hoped I could just use the factory settings and go with it. I did see the blue tooth for the multiplus was trying to...
Great thanks, I am trying to wrap my head around this solar equipment and get it to operate properly.
I am slowly getting the issue with the multiplus tripping which I think I can correct. (Check settings again)
I believe the UPS function works great the multiplus will transition from genny to...
Sunshine, so I have the panels installed and wired to the j box, I used the the 2S 2P design to start out. I have a 15A inline fuse on the positive side of each string and then into a 2into one adapter I added mc4 connectors inside the j box to connect the adapters to my 2/8 wire coming from...
I will check the connections with my fluke meter. This morning I looked and saw the 3 voltages are virtually the same, so it seems to only show up when the load is higher, I should see this again today if it happens. I went in and saw one of the CC was set to 13.5 volts instead of 13.8 so I...
The dynamic current limiter is enabled, I clicked it thinking it would be best to let the multiplus adapt to changing volts from the generator.
I think this setting allows for dirty power if you happen to have an older no inverter generator? My genny is an inverter model tho.
But thought...
I have a 100W panel on my roof of the camper and I want to add a170W portable to my system.
1. where do I tie them together?
2. can I connect 270 Watts to my zamp 250 watt charge controller or will that be to much and damage the controller?
paperwork on controller says 30A max?
thanks Sportz,
I have a mix of wire: marine grade stranded 2/8 to top CC from POS buss thru 30a fuse to batt terminals on controller.
2/10 on lower controller POS buss to 30a fuse to batt terminals, they both go thru a 30 a fuse on way to the buss.
I did use some #8 thhn about 2’ long between fuse and CC...
Rocket, Q-dog
Thanks for the responses I did see a drop across the one fuse holder, when I get back home I will change out the wire to a better quality stranded
#6 and remove the THHN wire completely.
I will put a couple new 50a fuse holders in there place. I didn’t realize how critical the...
I ran it this morning in inverter mode only and it worked fine (blow dryer )it didn’t trip the MP I then placed it back to on position and started the generator to charge the battery for a little while. The solar can finish topping off the batteries when get some sunlight.
I plan to buy 3- 300 W panels for my fifthwheel, I don’t really have enough room for 4 of them. I have a victron 150/45 SCC I have run 2 cond #8 wire to my roof to a w/p 6x6 box and wanted to know options that I can wire my panels, series or parallel ? Approx specs VOC 39.42 ISC 9.86...
That’s what I was thinking if it comes to that. Is there a way to bypass the multiplus with it in off position?
the battery will be in float mode while connected to shore power, is there a chance of battery damage if you are in this position for a month or more? Thanks ?
I didn’t know if the Multiplus has a pass thru function? To do this I would have to use shore power and the multiplus would be in off position?
i can try that and see if the shore power passes thru.
this is my current settings for multiplus (photo) and charge controller, I went and modified the settings of the Solar charger they were already close.
The Litime manual only gives general settings for charger and solar charging, so I tried to follow those and the comments of this group.
solar...
Thanks for the reply’s I read that a 10% margin for the max voltage is acceptable, so I should be above that. So I can safely go series or parallel I think the shade issue might cause me to go with that parallel configuration.
yes this is a 12V system, with A multiplus II 2x120v inverter...
I turned down the charge settings to 15a ad the charger was still feeding about 60 an into the battery, I then charged it to 30a and it bumped up to 90a chargin. I then set it back to 15a and left it there. I’m will try the on off button on the app to see if the pass thru feature works.
I...
Can these hangers be done while the solar is active ?
I was going to wait till it’s dark, open the solar breakers and then change settings.
Didn’t want to mess something up. Thanks Sportz
