Apparent Power is V*A (your clamp meter reads the A of that). In purely resistive loads Power Factor (W/VA) = 1.0 and drops with increased proportion of inductive loads without Power Factor Correction. So Apparent Power with the same Voltage but lower Power Factor (say 0.7) will read say 30%...
So you think an AC synchronisation fault fried them? Interesting. Yeah I meant a 250A DC breaker. Both BMSs go into short circuit protection at the same time every time after the breaker already tripped but only if either (or both) inverters are connected. I believe the BMSs behave correctly...
BTW (not that it matters but) I would be ok with it taking 3 minutes to switch if the downtime was around one or two cycles. Why it shuts down the outputs for 3 seconds while doing its thing is what i do not get.
How long is a reasonable time? 20ms, 50ms, 3000ms?
What does transfer time depend on? Why does it sometimes take so long?
I suspect it takes the inverter 3000ms to achieve synchronization to gird. But why? Does phase order matter?
I have Voltronic Axpert Max 8kW in 3phase configuration.
Hi. I'm having the following problem. I connect light load on AC out (lights), AC generator (3kW), 16s JBD BMS with 240ah Lifepo4 batteries. The inverter will keep starting and stopping to charge every few seconds or couple of minutes at most.
Relevant settings:
I tried disconnecting...
For those who find this thread: please be mindful that as far as I can tell (running the latest SA from 09-07-2024) the SA automation only control... the first inverter and ignore any remaining ones however many you have (and how they are connected). It is extremely counterintuitive and...
Hi I just installed a second identical (consulted with seller) EASUN Axpert 8KW in parallel yesterday. The first one was working like a charm for 6 months. I have 2 JBD BMSs behind a 250A resettable fuse. Today during the day and modest solar production (9kw across 4 strings) the 250A fuse...
Hello,
I've just connected 3 Voltronic MAX 8K inverters in 3 phase configuration and planned maximizing self-consumption using 40kWh LFP battery. I need to switch SBU to Utility first and back depending on time of day (tariff) and battery state of charge.
How big was my surprise when I found...
So I am interested in triggering the transfer both ways myself e.g. to optimize based on dynamic energy pricing or even to consume at night the solar energy stored during the day. I really hoped when voltage sag and other things are not considered the transfer would be perfect every time. But...
Hi @Luk88
I suppose we are talking about the same 3 phase (not parallel) setup (also PL here).
I think this may have to do with the 3phase setup. Perhaps it depends how quick one can apply setting change to all the inverters. Maybe you need to change all 3 in the same instant for the...
