Hello All
I have an Axpert MKS 4 (conversol Re badge) 5.5 Kw inverter that I have had in and running for a little over a year. From the start it played up and I had a couple of f12 dc-dc overcurrent faults that re set and carried on working, with a little fettling of the charge current and...
I wanted to find out if there is a way to connect Multiple inverters in series for a higher voltage. My Idea was since the inverters are limited on the amount of amperage. So if you can start with a high voltage from the inverters, then connect it to a step-down transformer. This should decrease...
Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a project to upgrade an existing renewable energy system and could really use some expert advice. The goal is to maximize self-consumption and minimize grid dependency while incorporating new components.
Current System:
Wind Turbine: 5KW grid-tied...
I'm in a questions asking mood tonight. I briefely looked at a job today and I need to recommend a board change but need to justify it. Firstly there isn't any main switch, just two RCD's. Looks like an old 16th ed board and someone has replaced the old main switch with an RCD and then looped...
Hi all, I am shortly installing 2 x 5kw Huawei sun2000 L1 =(1ph) inverters along with a new generation meter but unsure how I connect the inverters/AC isolators to the meter. Can anyone help please. Does the AC cable go from the meter to each AC isolator individually or to the first AC isolator...
Anyone aware of an Inverter with export limitation with wireless CT's? My tails are in the cupboard under the staris and cannot easily have cables run in from the loft.
Hi All,
When I heard reports on the radio of people not being able to run their gas central heating because of a power cut, it got me thinking. Is there any reason a gas boiler couldn't be run on an inverter and a battery?
I was thinking there might be a potential issue with some ac making...

Hi All
We're new here and looking for some advice to make sense of the world of leisure batteries and inverters.
We're setting up a coffee van in an old Commer Highwayman. We've got an LPG coffee machine with its own battery and inverter for the electrical parts of it (pump, lights etc)
We...
Hello!!
I am using 2 ABB 100kw string Inverters (ABB PVS 100-TL) in a single room. Can anyone assist me in calculating the Heat dissipation from these string inverters.
following are the Input voltage information for both the inverters
Inverter 1: Vin=720V DC at STC (for max string size of 18...
I routinely upgrade Motorhome systems. I do use Chinese made pure sine wave inverters from evilbay, usually 2500w/5000w (peak). I always sum the maximum off grid Continuous draw and double it or more. No problems so far, BUT I have heard of others Having problems.
i have pushed consumption...
I am building a Tiny House in Cornwall, England and am looking to put together a 3KW 240v off grid system; PV, Wind and generator backup.
The VICTRON EasySolar would be a fantastic option but I have also seen the HUAWEI Sun2000 series, GROWATT SPH series & GOODWE EM series which are all...
Hi again.
Right, I am seeing very mixed reactions and comments about the below question, I am just hoping to find a basic answer and reference please.
If you are installing a TL (fronius primo 3.6 in my case) to a domestic property, in the loft space with 16panels already installed on the...
Hi There
Trying to rectify a solar installation also containing a double socket in a horticultural location.
Current setup does not have any RCD protection.
Solar setup: 3 phase TNC-S supply - 3 x Solarlake 17000TL inverters - 50kW installation
The problem I am having is selecting the...
I haven't a clue what they are good for but they seem to be cheap at the junk yard (Around $15) so I'm wondering if they can be used with a battery bank as a UPS? Thanks, Jim
Hi there!
I'm new in the forum. This time I bring a question about inverters.
I was hired to oversee the Electrical Installation of a public building in East-Timor (South East Asia). As you can imagine, this location is wonderful for a PV installation, with 340 sunny days a year. I have...
I have a large 240v freezer running off a 12 v solar battery bank via an inverter, I would like to have a small backup inverter for the freezer that will cut in if the main one fails, and save all my food. Any one tell me how to do this please ?
I have spent some time reading into PV panels and inverters while trying to help with a current post on nuisance RCD tripping at a PV installation on a farm. I happened upon this technical paper which explains capacitive leakage currents from PV arrays and the trouble they could cause...
All I want to do is sell coffee!! In short ... I've had a mid life crisis and bought a catering van. It has a full size domestic fridge onboard. I need to keep milk cold from home to event site. I'll hook up at home and chill fridge till I leave. Am planning on using an inverter to keep fridge...
