    Schneider XW Pro 6848 - Loud Humming Noise

    Thank you in advance for your help. Created a short video below of my situation. The inverter is in my basement so this humming noise radiates throughout the house (got a small house). What's wild is the hum noise stops when I turned off AC1 IN.... My loads are using PV and Battery as energy...

    Solar Battery Fire Protection Ideas?

    Thank you in advance your time and advice. I'm always fearful of house fires so I'm looking for more proactive ways to build a "as much as I can" fireproof setup. When it comes to the battery bank ( 4 12v 200ah hooked up in series).... I was thinking of putting 3 of these fire extinguisher...

    Solar array setup with shade? Pics

    Thank you in advance for your help. I attached a diagram below that shows my intended setup. Its going into a Schneider 100a/600v MPPT charge controller. The right side of my panels will get a fair amount of shade in the morning hours ( shade is 100% gone after 11am). From what I read on this...

    What Would Cause LiFeP04 Battery Voltage To Spike During Charging ? XW Pro

    Quick update. Let the SOC drain down to 50% then started the recharge cycle at 57v 40a. It looked like it completed the cycle getting the charge to around 85%. However, anyone have any idea as to why the charge cycle started again the moment stage 2 ended?

    What Would Cause LiFeP04 Battery Voltage To Spike During Charging ? XW Pro

    I Changed the bulk & absorption to 55.2v and it looks like it completed the charge cycle successfully. However , per my battery manual a 100% SOC is (13.5*4 = 54v). That new setting seems to only have charged the batteries to 53v which is around 70% SOC. Should I keep increasing the bulk...

    What Would Cause LiFeP04 Battery Voltage To Spike During Charging ? XW Pro

    Schneider XW Pro Inverter hooked up to 4 12vdc 200ah series config batteries. Been on the phone with Schneider for about 4 hours and we still cant figure it out. When the XW Pro starts bulk charging... the voltage climbs..... 56....57....58..... then all of a sudden the voltage will jump to...

    Schneider XW Pro Charging 4x12v LiFeP04 Batteries in Series

    Thank you in advance for your help. Installed the XW Pro over the weekend and have it hooked up to 4x12v Lifep04 batteries running in series. These batteries have their own BMS but I don't believe the XW Pro can communicate with that BMS. To my understanding, LiFeP04 requires CC/CV charge...
