First time ever doing anything kind of solar installation and so far the loads are all working. I can’t believe it, I just hooked it up and it worked the first time.This 6000XP system is not connected to the grid just to the bonded neutral and ground wires from the main panel going into the...

Thanks

In the Protran 2 manual it looks like when in the line position the branch circuits are protected by the breaker in the load center and when in the Gen position the breakers in the transfer box, protects the branch circuits. In this drawing above it looks like current would pass through both...

Hi There, I’m setting up my first solar system and trying to avoid any newcomers mistakes. I’m installing a 6000XP with a Pro/tran 10 Transfer Switch. I plan on hardwiring my AC load output from the 6000XP to the Protran inlet box. According to the Protran manual it looks like ether L1 or L2...

I have a EG4 6000xp that connects to my furnace blower motor (120v) through a protran 2 transfer box. When viewing the power readings of the Emporia energy sensor that is connected to the furnace circuit breaker in the main panel the power readings seem to by cycling up and down when the...

I haven’t noticed notice any sound or performance between running it off of the inverter or the grid.

I'm trying to protect my 6000XP from lightning damage and want to make sure I'm ordering the correct equipment. My PV voltage in full sun is ~390VDC, so is MNSPD-600 from Midnight solar the correct unit to purchase? I would also like to install a surge protection unit at my main service panel...

The ground/neutral bond on the 6000 XP is disabled, because the ground and neutral buses are connected directly to my main service panel, which is bonded ( neutral/grounded ). I’m trying to avoid multiple ground neutral bonding points in my system. I was told common neutral architecture of the...

Thanks for the response, so it’s not critical for the operation of off grid applications on the 6000xp, but what about when the inverter goes into AC bypass mode? My understanding is the two line voltage L1 and L2 feed from the main panel into the 6000xp and then straight out put to my Protean...

I have been running my 6000 XP for about six months now with no problems and plan on purchasing a second Lifepower4 battery. How should I go about connecting these two batteries and the inverter at the batteries terminal bolt? I have seen online that a lot of people connect the two battery...

Thanks Mike, you are correct my Emporia unit is powered by the grid and the blower is being powered by the inverter when I am getting the cycling display. Do you think I can just move the Emporia's red and black wires from my main panel and connect them to the Black(L1) and Red(L2) load...
