I guess you don't care about burning your house down or getting electrocuted either. This thread made me think about how safe something I do really is. Every winter I hook up a timer to an extension cord to a radiant heater in my van so when I go outside my van's windows are clean and ice free...
I'm curious about the screenshot of series and parallel. At first, I was going to mount my four panels in series. four 158 watt panels= 632 watts at 5 amps. If I put them together like the screenshot would I have 632 watts at 10 amps? I have those connectors and figure this would be better.
Three-wire setup from the turbine(three-wire turbine) to the charge controller location. A rectifier converts to 48 or 24 volts to the batteries. This helps eliminate the voltage drop problems. If u have wind.
Hi, I see how to adjust the aux output. I'm slightly confused as to where the aux output is? Is Outback thinking I will use an SSR? I've never hooker up an SSR relay either. This is planing for the future, my controller is not hooked up yet.
I was reading this and thinking about my old extension cord with a timer going through a wall and to a 1000 watt electric heater I have in my van to keep windows snow and ice-free during the winter. I noticed the cord is finally falling apart after so many years.
I have two wired for 48v and they were only down a little bit and I used a 3a e-bike charger. I used a multimeter and charged mine up to 52v. After a few months, they are still sitting there at 52v. I did hook up the stock 24v fans to a 24v converter with a programable thermostat so those fans...
I've already got one. I spent a few more bucks and bought a good one. I will be happy with a little extra power at night. If anything my issue is producing too much power. I have a diversion load set up to heat water with excess power. This helps keep a load on the wind gen. also.
I hope to...
I put together the parts for my hybrid solar/wind system a while back. Now I have been going over things. My wind power is a 48v three-wire system, but the manufacturer says to be prepared to handle a possible 225v. I admit this is probably in a hurricane. But I planned on hooking the wind gen...
My newbie thinking was that any excess power would go through my wind diversion controller and help power my water heater elements. This is a 48v system. Maybe three panels for VOC 128.25? 95.01V I do have a separate 24v system for a greenhouse, I could use one panel there.
I was reviewing my system, that I haven't hooked up yet. My four 158 watt panels. each put out VOC 42.75=171v. my FM60 manual says to stay below 150.
VOC is unloaded? So if my batteries are hooked up? Wouldnt that make for a load? I also have a diversion load controller hooked up to the...
I decided to put off making the battgo work for now. it's stored for now and soon will power up my small home. The pins are correct. Thanks for the reply.
I have a Reliable 2500 watt inverter that came with the two thin positive wires and two negative wires. There are no markings on them and I'm wondering if Making #6 wire cables would be better than what came with the inverter? Have some #6 and the right ends.
I did write that I had to disconnect a wire so I could hook up to 24v. The second sentence. I'm trying to check cell balance and balance them on occasion.
