Re: [RE-wrenches] XW Drop in replacement inverter

Hi Chad, Yes XWpro 6848 is a drop-in replacement. Exact fit & all connections are the same as way back to 2006 when the "grey box" XW 6048 was sold. You need a connext insight home or facility device to do the initial configuration. It is a one time need for the insight home device to set

Wrenches, We have a client that had us construct a solar trailer for them back in 2014-2015 timeframe. The Current XW6048-120/240-60 is cooked and I'm wondering if the Schneider rep (or you savvy off grid guys) on here could tell me if the newer XW Pro 6.8kW 120/240 is an exact drop in

Wrenches I have always used 50 miles per hr as this works well, sure the 3600 rpm unit runs faster but 2000 hrs is 10 miles and unless you have a prime mover that's about right. I see many with well over 10,000 hrs. Had one last week do 1000 hrs in a month. On Tue, Oct 24, 2023, 4:50 AM Dana

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sunny Island AC-Coupled system integration with Fortress E-Vault

William, The charge controllers could operate in open loop, while the SMA did close the loop. Open loop works really well for charge controllers. I question if the closed loop communication was really working correctly if the SI is reporting 50% SOC when the batteries are reporting 95%… The SI

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sunny Island remote alerts

It’s a very poorly designed system. But it is possible to view the full error code on the webbox, but only while it is an active error. I don’t have a webbox online right now to advise exactly what parameter but it was near the bottom of the long list, and the description is not very precise.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sunny Island AC-Coupled system integration with Fortress E-Vault

Hi William, That’s an interesting idea to have close loop comms with two separate manufacturers at the same time. In theory I think this could work, but unfortunately, I don’t think SMA and Schneider share the same protocol # for the eVault. I believe SMA uses protocol #2 and Schneider uses #5.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sunny Island AC-Coupled system integration with Fortress E-Vault

I would tear all the sunny boys and sunny islands out and install two 15 kW Sol-Arks,  problem solved. DC coupled. I've done this several times now for existing clients (mostly connected to the grid) but it is so much cleaner and more compact and effective.Michael D NelsonMD Electric & Solar,

REF Hours on Generators: Air cooled 3,600 RPM = 80 Mph 5000 hours x 80mph = 400,000 miles Water cooled at 1,800RPM = 40 MPH 5000 hours x 40mph = 200,000 miles Both are a lot of hours but 400K is till a whole lot of wear & tear. I got to thinking about all the other impacts &

Re: [RE-wrenches] 2007 Kohler: Wrenches, can you help with parts or smarts?

Hello Mick, Here is what I'd do: Check compression on each cylinder, look for psi of about 90(ish). Also verify they are about the same (within a couple of percent). If its way out of this range, stop here. If they think they've gotten at least 5000 run hours, I'd stop here. These air cooled
