    2 AWG AC Cable?

    I've just purchased a Victron Multiplus II 5000kva 48v 120v inverter to replace a failed Growatt. The Victron manual calls for 2 AWG on the AC output side. I'm quite comfortable and familiar with DC cabling, but am a bit lost when it comes to AC. I've looked all over for a 3 conductor 2 AWG...

    Grounding two separate systems

    I have a bit of a strange setup and after lots of searching have been unable to find an answer on how to properly ground my systems. I am completely off grid, and have two inverters that each have their own separate AC panels. One inverter is always on and powers the majority of the house...

    Growatt 3000TL LVM Fan Replacement?

    One of the fans on my Growatt 3000TL LVM seems to have failed and I'm seeing an error code 001 which corresponds to fan failure. I'd like to replace it with either a stock Growatt fan of the same model or any other off the shelf fan that would be compatible with the inverter and not throw...

    BMV 712 gets update with historical trends

    Just wanted to share this exciting news for any other Victron smart shunt battery monitor owners. I've been anxiously hoping for this feature for the last year and it's finally available in their beta release of the app. Long story short, every time you closed the app or disconnected from the...

    LIFEPO4 @ 100% SOC long-term?

    I have an oversized LIFEPO4 battery bank and oversized panel array. In typical use I'm only depleting ~10% of the bank's power overnight and am fully charged by just 10-11am. This means the batteries are sitting near 100% SOC for the majority of the day. Should I be concerned about potential...

    Do busbars evenly divide load across all terminals?

    I have 3 parallel banks of batteries, each one connected to its own terminal on a 4 terminal bus bar. The main load is connected on the last terminal of this bus bar. Is it reasonable to expect even draw from each battery bank even though technically some batteries are wired closer to the load...

    Growatt 3000TL LVM 48v - Parallel Single Phase?

    I've just finished a test setup using 2 growatt 3000tl LVM 48v all in one systems. I don't see any explanation on the functionality when wiring these two systems for parallel single phase operation. My assumption was that the AC load would be split between the systems in this configuration, but...

    Connecting 12 Lion UT 1300 batteries in series/parallel. Potential issues?

    First time system and jumping in with both feet. As the title indicates, I have 12 Lion Energy UT1300’s that I’ll be wiring in series parallel @ 48v, s4p3. I have lots of questions, but for now my focus is BMS requirements. The individual batteries have a built in BMS, but am I right to think...
