Not sure if you really have a question or just a comment, but the answer is you power a 12V inverter with a 12V battery. A 100Ah battery would be fine. You will be limited to 1200W maximum by your battery's BMS since it is what is controlling the current output of your 12V battery. In reality...

I don't know of a schematic, but you can figure out the continuity of each terminal with a multimeter. Here is how mine is wired. There are three different terminals - red, yellow, black. Two connections per terminal, top and bottom, for six total connections to three terminals. The top and...

I have been looking for something similar for years. It doesn't exist in the hobbyist price range. The technology has been there to build something like this for a long time but I guess no company feels its worth it or doesn't want to impact sales of their $3000+ devices. I have researched ways...

They are kind of like a mix between Harbor Freight and Temu I guess. They couldn't manufacture everything they sell. They just provide a brand for products. Maybe they make some things. I am sure they don't make inverters, but neither does any name brand I know. In fact what does it mean to...

If you approach your question from a different angle it might end up being easier to understand. But first, let's clarify that a raspberry Pi can't use more than 15W of power at maximum load since its power adapter is rated at 15W. You almost got it right, its 5V @ 3A not 3V @ 5A. In reality it...

It sounds like you want to up the voltage on the Drok so that you can up its power output about 4x. Is that correct? Sounds like a great idea to maximize what you have available. That would effectively give you 60V output at 10A on the Drok and 600W charging instead of 150W charging out of the...

The answer to your question depends on the voltage and current output of your ebike charger. If it has a 48V 20A output, then you are talking about 48V * 20A = 960VA = 960W power output. That would require a 1000W inverter at a minimum to feed the charger. You need to make sure you have some...

If you want something inexpensive and still great, take a look at the 2500W VEVOR units. I have the 3500W unit currently and am buying a 2500W model this week. They are rock solid and quiet. I have evaluated most of the models listed above and don't recommend a single one of them. The Giandels...

That's too bad. I was hoping. When I click the link I don't get the error page you did. Instead I get an empty page with Watts247 header and footer. So maybe he is working on it. I have seen this problem before with their website.

I don't understand the reasoning behind most of the comments here. The VEVOR inverters are great. They produce 120VAC rather than 110VAC like traditional cheapo Chinese inverters. Amazon sells them themselves. They handle load well, at least the loads I have run (around 1500W) with no voltage...

Since you are talking about 120/240VAC split phase support, continuous load of over 7KW for AC, and your existing grid-tie solar inverter, you need a real all house inverter. Nothing less will meet your requirements. Options are the Lux Power 12K unit or an equivalent Sol Ark unit. There really...

I believe the Schneider unit you are talking about is limited to 25A not 50A. That's because its a 6KW inverter not a 12KW inverter. You would need two in parallel to compare.

Its been a while since I read what's new. I've caught up on everything thing in this and the original thread. Sounds like a lot of controversy. A couple of points I can make if anyone cares. The original thread that I started on the Lux Power 12K unit was a year ago. Those units were...

Well done, and I would also like to thank you for joining the forum. We have been waiting for you to do so for a long time. Hopefully you continue to provide real information we need about your inverter. Also glad to see you are coming to Salt Lake City.

I just didn't spell it out for you. What I said was you can couple any amount you want on the output side of the inverter. The inverter just provides the grid signal. You must specify how you are AC coupled when you talk about AC coupling. You can be AC-coupled on the input side of the inverter...

Are you sure that is how the Sol-Ark inverter works? GSL has 100A generator input, 200A AC pass through and you can couple any amount you want on the output side of the inverter. That means you can have as much power as you can afford up to 200A on the output side. More than that and you will...

Note above that California has a definition for grid support inverters and hybrid inverters.

Yes the manufacturer it is listed under is Shenzhen Lux Power Technology Co., Ltd. I have been wondering where the firmware is being developed too. Maybe GSL is tweaking Lux Power's software, or maybe GSL is writing it for Lux Power, or maybe GSL is delegating all work to a Lux Power team that...

That's good. Now Californians need not fret. I don't think you will see Shenzen Sea Star on the list. They are an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) company not an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Since this distinction can be a little confusing, let me use an example to explain it...

We have to remember that this inverter still hasn't been officially released. It doesn't even have their name or colors on it yet. I am not trying to defend GSL or the inverter, I am trying to remind everyone here that they said that the inverter supply would be ramping up by November. I guess...

You are well within the normal to low range for power use. My usage was 2260kW for July, 1747kW for August and 1323kW for September. I run two AC units, 1 deep freeze, 1 regular freezer, two refrigerators, several computers, TVs, networking equipment, etc. I don't have an electric hot water...

On another note, the user manual diagram on parallel connections shows how they would do an inverter bypass. Its the same as the diagram I provided earlier except that they are supporting multiple inverters and that complicates it a little more. They feed the meter into a single panel. Then each...

Sorry fromport. I didn't mean that as a complaint against what you said. I was only trying to support the idea that the inverter certainly knows how to disconnect from the grid if the grid goes down. Edit: Sorry I got confused and that's easy for me. Not sure what I was apologizing for. I tend...

Yes kind of disappointing. Its the make money while you implement model. When they get nearly done they will start over on another model. Schneider doesn't seem to do this though. They take a decade to get it done and then sell it for two decades. It takes them forever to add anything new.:cautious:

We already know that the GSL/LuxPower inverter complies with UL1741. The inverter must disconnect from the grid during departures from normal grid conditions. Nothing to debate here.

That is so true. I had an inspector ask me so what is this? I had to explain the system to him and he said oh well does it work and do you like it? I told him yes to both and he signed-off the inspection. Didn't look at the ground mounted solar array, the wiring, the breakers, the panels or...

You're totally right. The solution here is for Archcpj to become more technical. He should be able to manage this system once he has his head around it. He can always put a note on the load center explaining that you must turn off all heavy loads before starting the inverter and label the...

The point here is that you are well under 100A at peak load. At 8kW you are only using 33A. You would have to peak at 24kW to hit 100A and 48kW to hit 200A. This is all great news for you. All you need to do is the simplest installation. Mount the invert next to your main load center and connect...

Rather than explaining how you want to do it, please explain what you are trying to achieve. Provide all of the information we need to help you answer your questions. What you have asked: 1. How to install the inverter with a bypass to address inverter failure, 2. How to make the inverter...

Can you give us some detail about the load tests they did for you in the video? Did they push it. How long did it run?

I totally agree. Everything in this channel should be substantiated if possible. We can put any gotchas on the front page if it is substantiated. Let's try to keep this thread full of facts and not speculation. The purpose here is to prove out the validity of the inverter and to help others with...

When enough people get these, I hope someone can do some load testing on them. I want to know how well they handle unbalanced loads, heavy start up loads and how hot they get under full load. Hopefully someone with an oscilloscope can show us the sine wave under full load.

Definitely transformer-less. Looks like they are using the case as a heat sink. Is the case cast aluminum?

Thanks for the images! I will anxiously await your other messages as you get further along.

Time for a fiber optic camera.:giggle:
