    Automatic Transfer Switches

    i have just had delivered a moes ats and first job, get its jacket off and have a look inside well two relays and a board now if this thing can do what it says it can do then bloody marvellous but the cable is a bit thin so 11kw at 240 volts. my inverter is only 8kw so all i have got to do is...

    my electric bill is going up 33%

    When I built my solar system, night time E7 was a good idea about 40% of daytime rate, so using a time clock and a 48v forklift battery charger. On bad days of no sun I could switch it on and the time clock would do the rest and we would start the day with a not quite fully charged battery...

    SWITCHING

    and I am a solar engineer and in the past I have been using two separate contactors to switch from mains to inverter power and it switches fine, but there is a time delay between one and the other and things like TV, computers, and other appliances see the delay and switch off, it is only for a...

    power off

    OK i have changed the rotary switch for a fast relay and that has improved things a lot and the wife is still with me so i shall leave it at that now i just need the low dc auxiliary switch on the inverter to operate the relay and that will automate the system woopee s----

    power off

    no it is not easy to get 2 sources joined my inverter is on all the time ready to be used the mains is on all the time each with its own contactor that is switched in and out by a two way switch now what is the fastest switch and what are the fastest contacters? is there something special out there

    power off

    out of phase AC on both sides of a triac bad things can happen.ok so solidstate relay is not a good idea but you keep telling me this is a bad idea and that wont work i have got this system working 99% and i can see there is a lot of talent out there but no body is saying sounds like i know but...

    if you don't tell us how this can help then probably eating a jam doughnut could help

    power off

    smokin can you explain Freewheel a 1800 rpm 5 hp motor. That will fix it how?
  15. robbymax

    power off

    do solid state relays operate faster than contactors you stated that 3/5 ms is fast enough to work most things in the house i would settle for that but how do i do it
