Re: [RE-wrenches] active vs apparent power readings with solar

I think the power factor will be very close to one for split phase.  What's the inverter specs say w/r to this? Chris On 4/27/2023 5:10 PM, August Goers via RE-wrenches wrote: Hi Wrenches, We have a residential site with grid tied solar where there is an electrician involved who has gotten

Re: [RE-wrenches] active vs apparent power readings with solar

This power factor is impossible, can he measure the apparent power then the real power separately devide the real by apparent to get power factor. I guess he has connections wrong, wrong leg of split phase. If the inverter is off, then possible, do you measure current off the inverter and DC

Certainly could be the meter or how it’s being used. Like is the Electrican checking the main or output from the inverter?If the inverter output shows these numbers I’d check to make sure the inverter is in the correct grid connection  setting. JayOn Apr 27, 2023, at 5:13 PM, Dave Angelini Offgrid
