    Renogy 500 AMP Monitor Show Strange Results

    They told me on the phone, and when they said 2 they probably meant 2/0. I can change the wore and the breaker. I just do not really know how to replace the AC wiring. I have a Traill Manor trailer, and all the wiring is run between the floor and under the tub.. There is no way to access it...

    Renogy 500 AMP Monitor Show Strange Results

    2/0 wire could be challenge with the very short runs, but it is doable. Strange Renogy would recommend #2AWG. I have a 200a breaker now. I am not sure how to run new #6 wire from the converter to the battery compartment. The only way is probably to drill holes in the floor for both exit and...

    Renogy 500 AMP Monitor Show Strange Results

    It is #2 AWG and that is what Renogy recommended, had not changed the diagram. The distance to the power center is less than 3 feet. It is basically impossible to access the wiring because it goes under the tub and between the floor. It is a WFO power center with a 8955 55A converter. The...

    Renogy 500 AMP Monitor Show Strange Results

    The shunt is wired to the battery negative. You can see the black cable at the wall at the bottom. That comes from the battery ans connects to the shunt. The inverter negative is one long wire from the inverter to the last lug on the bus bar. Are we talking like a 10A fuse for the red wire...

    DC Breakers vs Fuses

    I want to get more general. It seems really good breakers like the BlueSea ones are just as good a fuses. Are there specific cases where breakers are just not usable or is it more history and personal preference. If you size the breaker correctly and it meets the specs for the use case why...

    Renogy Battery Monitor 500A Screen Not showing charge rate

    I will second the comment on super hero. I have been sniggling with the same issue. I did not want to move forward with wiring until I knew the answer. Today I will complete the wiring. It would be nice if Renogy just included the great diagram Snoobler drew. Life would have been so mcu easier.
