Jason, Any additional OCPD downstream of the 200A load output breaker could allow for a smaller wire size to be used at these terminals. For example, load output conductors run to a 100A main breaker panel board. Obviously depending on circumstances, a #4 copper could fit the bill. What I’m not

[RE-wrenches] Is There an "Off-grid" (i.e. constant voltage) Version of Microinverters?

It has been a while since I installed a PV system, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance wrt product availability.  I recently had need for the off-grid equivalent of a grid-tied microinverter. I have an assortment of new and not so new PV modules such as the

Hello, The overcurrent device is to protect the conductors. you can put any size wire, but you must protect with the overcurrent device. REmember in solar equipment; you may have more than one supply source. The DC best example is solar modules connected in parallel, on On Fri, Apr 15,

yes, there are three versions of the cybo inverter, the one that I a most familiar with produced a 60 HZ AC signal; the voltage did not exceed 120 volts or 240 volts. The voltage out times the current out was equal to the voltage in times current in. This allowed me to operate a resistance load,

That's what I'm thinking. You would need to use a 200A conductor to a separate load out OCPD before downsizing the wire. I guess there are pros and cons, but it seems this is geared toward whole house backup for 200A services. I'm eager to get an opportunity to use it in that scenario. Jason
