Not SOC issue but rather a peak inverter output issue: 5,000 watts con and 6,600 surge for 10 seconds (I believe the latter is right number). That is the constraint I’m trying to live under. From: RE-wrenches [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Chris Mason Sent: T

SSRs, especially AC SSRs made from thyrisotrs (scrs and/or triacs)  are "leaky" in general so when turned OFF, can cause a shock  Maybe not enough to kill you but maybe enough to make you fall off the roof ! I'm not sure why the disconnects aren't good enough which should already be i

I thought so but I wanted to ask anyway. I am just finishing up field testing of the Resu10 and it is much easier to do what you want, but a very different application. I will be curious to see what you end up doing! --Dave Dave Howard AreyDave > 10H > > -Original Message- > From: RE-wren

If there is an API from which you can determine SOC, you how to do load management with a Raspberry Pi. I can help with that if you want. On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 3:55 PM, Howard Arey wrote: > Hello again, wrenches. > > > > I know many of us have run into the quandary and that is prioritizing >

Hello again, wrenches. I know many of us have run into the quandary and that is prioritizing loads in a critical load panel. About to put in some LG RESU units with the SE7600 StorEdge and the 21 amps continuous is pretty tough. But with some smart, automated load management, this can

The metering should be repeatable and some error is acceptable. The 10A error is kind of not useful unless it is related to the amount of actual current and nominal voltage of the system. The error may not be a big deal on a 12V but a 48V nominal may be an issue. A good cheap and dirty replacement

Probably a good idea to test that HBCO is set right, actually does shut down the inverter, and stays programmed correctly in a LBCO or complete drain of battery. Dave DrakeDave > The plan is to use N/C relays. As this is in a > backup system, N/O relays would need to spend > most of their lives e

The plan is to use N/C relays. As this is in a backup system, N/O relays would need to spend most of their lives energized. The relays will not be able to receive any control power while the grid is up. If all else fails and the relays stay closed and overcharge the batteries, the high voltag

My vote would still be to use two single pole relays as suggested previously to kill each leg. That way you build in redundancy and dropping either leg will do the trick. In fact, it sounds like this would be even better than a two pole relay for the redundancy reason. The other factor is whether
