That idle consumption will be crazy. Around 13kwh per day.I would also love the firmware update, please. Just joined the forum. I have 4 of the lvx6048s on order and am a little worried about how to get the latest firmware after reading through the posts. I think this looks a very good source of knowledge and suggestion.
Hi, the file is in my last post, l have my system in Input voltage range on APL, before I had it on UPS and I had a lot off problem after switching to APL my system is working with no problem. Do any one had the same problem. Good day.That idle consumption will be crazy. Around 13kwh per day.
I see you had posted the LVX6048 you own has 135W of idle draw. However if the unit is powering anything, then it is a moot point as this would fall under inverter efficiency.That idle consumption will be crazy. Around 13kwh per day.
It's not a moot point if your typical loads are low power or infrequently runI see you had posted the LVX6048 you own has 135W of idle draw. However if the unit is powering anything, then it is a moot point as this would fall under inverter efficiency.
Having said that, with 4 units, it would be wasteful if 2 of the units were just idling along.
If you don't mind pushing the on / off button you can charge your 48V batteries even if the inverter is in off mode. So it doesn't use the 140 Watts standby power. Then if you need the extra ac power you can turn the inverter on.I see you had posted the LVX6048 you own has 135W of idle draw.

I do that with my truck camper, I mounted a remote switch right in the galley so you just reach across and turn it on/off.If you don't mind pushing the on / off button you can charge your 48V batteries even if the inverter is in off mode.

Unfortunately I think it'll be the sameI know this thread is not about the LVX6048WP and that it is not released yet but do we think the idle power consumption would be similar or lower based on the type of inverter?
Low frequency inverters have a high idle draw compared to high frequency inverters.I know this thread is not about the LVX6048WP and that it is not released yet but do we think the idle power consumption would be similar or lower based on the type of inverter?
There are some more expensive low frequency inverters that have low idle consumptionLow frequency inverters have a high idle draw compared to high frequency inverters.
I have just been confirmed from MPP Solar Taiwan that LVX6048WP is a HIGH FREQUENCY Inverter.The LV6548 is listed, but not for grid-tie. According to MPP Solar, the new LVX6048WP will be listed for Grid -tie. Its also a low frequency inverter, and water proof( no fans like SMA)
Why is it so heavy then?I have just been confirmed from MPP Solar Taiwan that LVX6048WP is a HIGH FREQUENCY Inverter.
Like so many items in the solar industry, naming conventions are in the eye of the supplier...Why is it so heavy then?
According to their US supplier, its low frequency. I have not yet opened the boxes, so I have not checked myself yet. I do know they are MUCH heavier than my LV6548's.I have just been confirmed from MPP Solar Taiwan that LVX6048WP is a HIGH FREQUENCY Inverter.
Agreed. In fact the over voltage time in the manual is in the ms range, which is clearly a mosfet type range. A low frequency inverter should be in the seconds range.Just because it has a transformer doesn't necessarily makes it high/low frequency. It could use the transformer to generate the neutral but still have the high frequency design.
