I had a Nissan Leaf and a 240v charger, we had no problem using our Radian to charge it during the day. On Sat, Jun 6, 2020, 22:11 Hilton Dier III wrote: > The issue with EV chargers is that they create a lot of reactive power. > Think of it as "slosh" in the waveform. That means that charging

The old SW waveform changes with battery voltage. On the 24 volt version there are less steps when the battery is over 28 volts. My washing machine motor does not run when the battery is over 28. I just have to turn on the microwave when I want to do laundry on a sunny day. David On Sun, Jun 7,

I’ve got offgrid 2 clients and they have no issues. They each have a Bolt and can choose the charging rate. They can run it at either power. But only use higher power when they have lots of sun. Older Stacked vfx and Schneider xw, no issues. I would expect the SW to work, however it’s an

I think you said it well, about 5 years ago I tried to charge a car from an off-grid system. I did not record my events but the inverter had twice the power of the level two charger, yet the inverter would get hot and trip out. I was told a ferroresonant transformer may help, and it might be

You think it is interesting? I hate problems like this. You are doing the right thing in my opinion. Disconnect the network and try to duplicate. This is a troubleshoot halfsplit to an engineer/technician, or you and me The other choice at this point would be a complete DC disconnect for
