Testing/Verification of your testing instruments

Re: Charger inhibit when running on inverter

Thanks for that AlecK. How about a RCBO for the mains, and another for the inverter? - come off the load side of the mains rcbo before the selector. Label both RCBO's as "Main Switch"?

Charger inhibit when running on inverter

Bus converted to a motorhome, 230v side of things - I am fitting a selector switch so the user can select between "inverter-off-mains" for supply to the 230v installation. Part of the installation is a 230-12v charger for charging the house battery. I am wanting to inhibit the charger from running f...

Re: System voltage Solar MPPT

Further to this, I recall reading somewhere in the 5033 standard that the max input voltage of the pce cannot be exceeded - the max voltage of the solar inverter is 145v, with the temp. compensation this is over. - I'm having trouble locating the clause for that, any idea where I can find it? Cheers...

System voltage Solar MPPT

Hey guy's and gal's, A client had purchased an off grid package - 5kW MPPT Solar inverter - (Charge controller, Mains charger, Inverter all in one), 300Ah Lead Acid storage - 48v, 9 ODA380-36-M 380w solar panels - 3 per string. What determines the system voltage - My interpretation is the Voc of the...
