Re: [RE-wrenches] 48 VDC Control fusing

2020-02-28 Thread Jeff Clearwater

Hi Drake,

Some in-line glass fuses and holders are not rated for 48 VDC.  The 
midnite 1 Amp breaker is an good option like Ray said but sometimes I 
prefer to use a fuse so it doesn't get accidentally shut off or so I can 
bury it behind a panel so the customer doesn't have too easy access.


So If I have easy access to a place to mount DIN Rail such as in a 
Midnite E-Panel - then I use a midnite touch-fuse holder 
 
and a 1 amp fuse.  Or you can get them at any supply house like this. 



And of course it's easy enough to add a piece of DIN Rail to the back of 
any panel.


I like using this approach for fusing 24 V power supplies running the 
monitoring equipment too - again so they don't get easily shut off.


Hope that helps.

Best,

Jeff

Hi Drake,

Perhaps this fuse holder will work if you want to stay with glass envelope: 
https://www.waytekwire.com/item/46069/Littelfuse-3031-0-In-Line-Fuse-Holder/

We mostly use panel mount breakers for small loads:

We still use inline fuses ordered online, but Midnite Solar carries a 
whole line of DC rated breakers that go down to 1 amp.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Offgrid Generators?

2020-02-28 Thread Ray
Some of the issues have been Generac not providing a simple wiring 
schematic, nor simply labeling the 2 start wires.  2nd is requiring 
either internet connection or a call in to get the start code.  Both 
have been very problematic in remote locations with no phone service.  
Totally unnecessary.  We don't need a Generac tech just to connect 
wires, I'm the licensed electrician.  Last time I called Generac, 
(control error not listed in the manual) they insisted I needed to call 
in a service tech, and offered zero trouble shooting.  I fixed the 
problem by pulling the fuse and resetting the controller.  3rd, service 
requires a long expensive trip by the service tech, who then diagnoses 
the problem, has to order the parts and return weeks later. This means 
every issue takes 2 round trips to resolve.  If its a bigger issue, it 
requires a truck lift to haul the 500 lb unit in to the shop. We're 
hearing $500 just to get the generator to the shop, then another $500 to 
reinstall it after.


Failures have included several catastrophic engine failures, blowing oil 
every where, some of these have been in the first few hundred hours. 
Lots of control issues, one recently had voltage that varied from 90 to 
130, 45 to 70 Hz, and the inverter wouldn't even connect to it.


I quit selling generators a long time ago, because I didn't want the 
service liability.  I'm not a mechanic, and I don't want to be.  I do 
however, need a generator I can recommend in good faith.  The Ecogen has 
made us look pretty bad.  Glad I didn't sell them, but then I've seen 
some large water cooled unit that worked well.

There is a hole in the market for products in this application. 
Virtually no-one makes an affordable ~10KW diesel enclosed 2 wire

9KW Perkins engine liquid cooled enclosed diesel from a factory in 
China I deal with. I sold it to a customer that ran it 18 hours a day

I think the big problem in the US is getting permits for diesel

Generac also has a nice 15KW Diesel Protector unit, that'll keep the lights
on very nicely, is relatively inexpensive and I haven't heard any
complaints about them failing. We had one Protector Diesel with a failed
fuel pump solenoid but I changed it out under warranty and there hasn't
been any other issues.
Of course they are not $4,000, you are not going to get a liquid cooled
generator for under $10,000.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Offgrid Generators?

2020-02-28 Thread Chris Mason
William,
Generac has a structure where box stores like HD and Lowes sell the
residential generators and arrange local certified dealers to perform the
installation, warranty and service work. The dealers are not real fond of
it but Generac can't get to be the largest brand relying on dealers for
sales. Generac is pretty good on compensating dealers for warranty work so
there are a number of dealers that make their living on installation,
servicing and warranty work.

>
> 3) 20+ kW water cooled, 1800 rpm propane model.  Overkill, expensive,

> 4) Similar Home standby unit, but Kohler brand.  Kohler used to be
