I totally agree with you I love The Circuit by Circuit control even though mine is over 10 years old it still looks fantastic. The finished install with the added late model cover looks as good or better than the current ones. Hard to beat the Innovative design that they have controlling each...

I totally agree with you I do like the circuit by circuit control as well, it is a very Innovative design. Although mine is over 10 years old and just being installed I knew when I bought it years ago it was going to be a great thing.

The 240 volt 30 amp breaker uses 10 gauge the 240 volt 20 amp breaker used 12 gauge the 120 volt 15 amp Breakers were also 12 gauge but on the box it did specify those could be replaced with 20 amp 120 v Breakers I would assume their other panels are designed the same way

You have a very gorgeous installation, I like how you're using Sma's and Sunny boys.

Now everything was wired, I reinstalled the covers and then tested the system. It works great and I'm very happy with the results. I'm so glad I decided to flush mount it. Now the utility room breaker box and transfer panel system are 95% complete. The last part is I need to run a 60 amp feed...

Now that the panels were mounted correctly and I was happy with the result. I went ahead and pulled the feeds (6 awg for L1, L2, and nuetral, 8 awg for grd) from the inverter bus block to the Gen panel. I wired those first and then I tackled the breakers. The breaker part was really time...

After a little work on the Conduit I was then ready to test fit the panel. I got the unit mounted in the wall and reinstalled the breaker cover. I wanted to make sure I had the two of them mounted straight together. At first I just bundled the wiring up inside the breaker box and put the lid on...

Now that I had the flush mount kit and the lid fitting correctly it was time to make a hole in the wall. This is the scary part... I took a lot of measurements and did a lot of looking with the breaker box lid removed. I finally decided on the best location. Then I got out my trusty sheetrock...

Finally got to install my 50 Amp ProTran transfer panel yesterday. I had previously replaced some of the internals to carry more amps safely. As I plan on using it continuously and rather than it being a generator transfer switch, it will transfer 10 circuirts between the Fronius grid tie...

Thank you great information, I would not have thought of that on the bus blocks, so do you think it makes a difference if the wire is tinned or not meaning would tinned wire be okay for the pv inputs vs bare? Where would I get ferrules for 10 awg ? The wire I was looking at was bare but I did...

I'm on the final stages of wiring in the power room. Wiring up the charge controller is one of a few last things. I plan on coming from the outside PV disconnect into the power room using 10 thhn. I'm going to build a bus box with 8 bus blocks to bring in the four arrays.(leftovers from various...

I have to agree with what you were saying so I did reword the first paragraph of my thread.

Yes if you do the math for what the gauge wire can carry it should be okay for 50 amps total. And for most people Straight Out of the Box used as temporary power it would be fine. However I will run my air conditioner 3.5 tons, a one hp well pump, refrigerator, radiant heaters and more all at...

Sounds like the newer version of the one I have, they no longer offer the digital amp meter I guess it had issues if they were ran in the heat.

I did notice on top of the unit as I was finishing it and labeling it was already rated for the 120s to have 15 or 20 amp Breakers. Honestly as much as these cost you think it would have had at least an 8 or 6 gauge Main. Two 30 amp 240 Breakers and the 120 breakers all 20 amps. The last pic...

Did you install this same unit or something similar? I think mine would have been okay for temporary use in continuous duty and knowing it only had 10 gauge mains scared me.

Having upgraded the second 240 breaker to 30 amps it can now support my well pump safetly. The first 30 amp breaker will be able to support my air conditioner. I have six 120 volt circuits left I will decide later what I'm going to put on those. I then upgraded the incoming power...

After installing a full Eaton transfer cover panel on my breaker box which is all or nothing it's either Grid or backup. This protran transfer switch became extra. I decided to repurpose it as being able to switch between grid tie system and off-grid system while on grid tie. After having seen...

I had bought a protran 50 amp transfer panel some years ago. That allows you to switch each circuit between grid and Generator. I was doing some reading about reviews on this transfer panel. And one of the reviews said the internal bus bar was only a 30 amp 10 gauge feed which could make the...

Someone replied some of the bold lettering was from threads that had been replied to but not answered causes the thread to be bold?

I bought one of those pound style crimpers years ago and used it several times and my shop is so full of stuff. I could not find it to save my life. I was able to borrow a hydraulic pump crimper but it only goes up to 1/0 so I'm going to make two of those cables. I literally ended up buying...

Ok thank you , still trying to learn how the forum works. Getting better at it with all the input.

Oh yeah I'm so impressed with the microair 368 my inverter started it with no effort whereas before it didn't even try it just flat shut it down. The compressor will last longer this thing will pay for itself over time when I put the grid tie in it'll be able to start it easier it's a win-win-win!!

Yeah I got really excited and I cussed in that one lol you can just click on it and watch it you'll see LOL I was so happy I wasn't under control of my tongue...oops. Didn't want to get the boot....

This Microair 368 is amazing!! I should have posted this earlier but here is the amp specs right off the condensing unit and the Bluetooth specs the unit is now running at, 42 less starting amps the spec LRA and 2 less running amps than the spec RLA..( I tested the a/c unit before installing...

I tried so many different things I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the thread titles bold.

Thanks

Tried to upload a full video where I walk through the house and show the inverter system operating but that video was way too big. I had taken a shorter one that I sent to my son on messenger and here's the shorter video it's actually uploading I guess I'll have to make short Quick videos LOL GW

Thanks for that I guess I'll have to figure out how to do that. I just figured out my camera with on my phone would take a panoramic picture the other day I've had this phone for 3 years lol sometimes I feel older than I am LOL

I tried to upload it just like I would have picture into the thread didn't like that

Tried to upload a video to a thread and it says it's too large for the server? Yet I've watched some videos on the forum ? Is my video just too large or am I going about it the wrong way? GW

This evening after work I installed microair 368 soft start on my 3.5 ton York air conditioner. The battery Bank was recharged from the 26-hour initial trial run just the day before. I let the power room run the house for 26 hours it consumed about 100 amp hours to my surprise my 48 volt...
