      Signature solar said the 70 would be fine it would just limit my max output. So I’ll use them.

      Apples to oranges then. Hard to suggest 60v arrays for the rest of us.

      So going to use the 70a breaker to set it up then.

      CaySol replied to the thread EG4 GridBOSS Deep Dive.
      So go with the 70a provided vs a different brand 90a? What would be the issue with 70a? I see the Flexboss max output goes to 66.7a. Is...

      If I were to put a spd into the mppt directly, would that protect it? For example the Flexboss has 3 mppt and 2 are in parallel. So if I...

      My run is only 85ft or so. But through a concrete wall and don’t really want to create a hole for 2 cat 6 cables alone.

      Can I use another brand of breaker for the Hybrid slots? Confirmed that my 90a breakers didn’t make it over here.

      CaySol replied to the thread Data cable ports grounded EG4?.
      I did have the metal ends and crimp. Made a cable last night to test if I grounded properly and it worked. But was just worried about a...

      CaySol replied to the thread Data cable ports grounded EG4?.
      I would, but I have to go though a concrete wall to get to the gridboss. So considering running in the same conduit with the Flexboss ac...

      CaySol replied to the thread Data cable ports grounded EG4?.
      The data cables that come with the Flexboss are shielded. But the cable tester didn’t show them as grounded. Maybe they are grounded on...

      I just checked and yes they are grounded to PE, the chassis of the inverter. Your communications cables do not need to be shielded but...

      Would the comms ports on the Flexboss be grounded? And if I were to create a shielded cat6a cable, should I ground at both ends or would...

      You are trying to create a low resistance path for fault current, back to the N/G bond (not earth) through the grounding system. If the...

      So running a ground wire from my array back the the same rod that my house is grounded on, not ok?

      Gridboss to Flexboss comms.

      Shielded cat 6 in the same conduit as AC wires? Never ever?
    • CaySol
      CaySol replied to the thread Very long PV wire.
      Would a metal conduit work for this?

      Yes. I’m thinking I just do the simple install. If the gridboss fails I’ll just manual bypass until I can sort it out.
