All my life red is positive and black negative. I was under expression the 194 was 12v + and 23 was the ground to complete circuit. This switch is tagged 194 wire black and 23 red, Just like an apinion
For power outages, my solar inverter (+battery) is able to take on the entire house load - as long as I unplug my collection of vintage kettles. ;) - this is called EPS mode - Emergency Power Supply. Needs to carry grid (3 phase, 69A/phase) or solar inverter (3ph, only 7000W max)
TL;DR: Can...
I'm an electrical engineer in training so please bear with me.
Basically, a bank has ordered a second 500kw diesel generator and my job is to design the infrastructure to allow them to run simultaneously. It has been suggested that a "Paralleling switchgear" be used that could potentially...
When an automatic transfer switch operates (solar has stopped generating) does it matter if the the secondary power source is not present (until economy 7 kicks in) at the time of switching?
Ok. So my generator is a duromax 12500 dual fuel. I want to wire it to my panel. I know I need a transfer switch. Here is my dilemma. The bozo that wired the house put about half of what I want to wire to the transfer switch on a 50 amp sub panel. So basically half the house is on the 200 amp...
Hello,
I bought a used generator and transfer switch from a Generac installer. He had a customer that was upgrading, so he bought their old one, and then I got his old one. Anyway, it is a 7kW unit with an automatic transfer switch + panel.
The generator is installed, starts up and runs, and I...
Hi,
I am planning to install a hybrid solar/wind power system. When it comes to 230V AC, I'd like to supply power to a home circuit with mainly LED lighting, It will draw probably never more than a few hundred watts. This circuit is connected on the main breaker panel to a 10A breaker,one pole...
Hi all
I installed an 80kVa diesel generator set with automatic transfer switch awhile ago. All supplied by customer.
Generator is second hand at 50 hours work and it turns out the ATS is too.
All has been working fine for the last 6 months or so but recently the generator has been struggling...
Hi,
I work for a generator manufacturer. We manufacture Automatic Transfer Switch panels for use with our generators, configured in the following way:
Mains and Generator supply are fed into an ATS panel containing interlocked (mechanically and electrically) contactors. The load side of the...
