Re: [RE-wrenches] Trace SW4024, 1998 vintage - Still OK for grid-tie?

[Allan Sindelar]

Yeah, the GTI. But touse the GTI requires an interface cable between it and the inverter that only exists on the post-GTI-got-listed-again units with Rev. 4.10 and later firmware. It can't be used with the previous Rev. 4.01 units, which among other differences lack the GTI communications cable port.

Date: Sat, Jun 30, 2012 5:10 pm RE-Wrenches:   Have a potential customer who wants to connect to the grid after many years of off-grid living.  He is asking if his older Trace inverter (SW4024 inverter; Date of manufacture:  3rd quarter of 1998; S/N:  W07878; 120 volts and 33.3 Amps) would still be OK to use in a grid-tie system.   What say you?  Does it still comply with the latest standards for grid-tie inverters?  Should he start over with a new inverter?   Bob Clark SolarWind Energy Systems, LLC _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
