    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    I have a cyber power pure sine ups it still only works for a short time. This really makes it indefinite with the 30kw batteries on that light load panel. Lol. When in doubt use a bigger hammer. ?

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    I am not sure about parallel. I do not believe so but it is hybrid so maybe it senses the power and parallels automatically. I have wondered a couple of time just not read into it.

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Sorry for the bad hand writing. Those are the 2 scenarios. Right now I am ok with the UPS one. Oh and the bond ground. There are 2 wires coming off the neutral. The ground seems to be the case only. Once I hooked up the full panel it seemed to be ok. Voltages are all correct both on battery or...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    I will try to sketch something but had an update. I did a partial load test. I switched the house off grid and on batteries ?. It did ok. It did brown out a little when both 2.5 ton ac’s kicked on at the same time. But held. I also did the coffee pot, microwave, some lights, tv etc. It showed...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    So that may not make a lot of sense what I am doing. It is 2 fold. We have a lot of power outages and even more power flickers. We also have the occasional hurricane and lose power for a few days. My wife always complains she loses work when we have the flickers. So I want an ups all the time...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    So quick update. I have 2 x 200 amp panels one has most of the big stuff. The other is mostly lights and receptacles it is fed through the first. The main is even before those. I back-fed to the second panel with a 6/3 wire and 60 amp breaker from the inverter. I also have a 30 amp generator...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Wow you are good. I was supposed to use a post connector. I do not have any that big. Ended up soldering them. There is more but I will leave it at that. Lol they should be fine. I got a message from them. They want to know settings. Will get them to them.

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    So I sent them a few pictures and videos. Not much yet. Not expecting too much either. When i do bypass from the grid it works perfect. Charger seems ok. I am only doing 25amps as I am using a 8/3 cable with a 30 amp generator plug and breaker. It switches instantly when I turn off grid power...

    Oh yea. Thanks.

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Sorry there was more. It did come back on after a min. I also got some strange ground to neutral voltages. From 0 volts which is good. Then 26 volts then at one point it was like 68volts. Also the line to ground is typically 120 with load. It was low like 15-20. Maybe there is some capacitors...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    So I am a little confused and may have an issue. Maybe not… I just contacted SNRE. Will see what they say. In bypass mode everything seems to be working ok. In battery mode it seems ok with a small load. I put a 750 watt heat Gun and it seemed ok then when I turned it off, it tripped the inverter

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Oh and I paid like $1650 us. I was in early. They dropped the prices a couple of times since. I also had to wait. The Chinese holidays and something about production delay with the ground. See picture. So they threw in like $50 in wire and mc4 connectors. I am still hopeful. I like the display...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    I am still working on it. I did get the output AC hooked up without load. I have it connected to my 30 amp generator back feed plug. Charged the battery a little. I just put the ground rod in the ground and connecting that tonight. This is way bigger than my 5.5kw system and doing everything...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Good question, I have not put it all together so not sure about pass through. Will let you all know when I get there. I need to run a larger wire. My other one was just 5 k so need to up the wire and breaker. I could just test it with what I have to see. Either way will keep you all posted.

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Well I do not want to get too excited but I think they have the ground thing worked out. I took AC Voltage to well everywhere and they all read correctly. I have a bunch of pictures but will show the neutral to ground and neutral to chassis ground and a split phase. But they all look good. Let...

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Hhhmmmm interesting. There was a delay in shipping they said (see image) something about the ground wire. Maybe they fixed it? I can only hope. Did you get far enough to see if it actually does 10k?

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    Here is a couple of other pictures. The menus is still mostly the same as all the MPP and other Chinese clones. More options it does lithium as well. I can’t wait to put it together.

    SRNE ASF 10k inverter

    I just received the SNRE ASF48100U200H. It is supposed to be a 10k split phase inverter. See pictures. I paid a little more than I wanted but if it is what it says it will be worth it. That is still to be seen. I will say it is bigger and way heavier than my 5.5k Chinese clone. It says it does...

    Varicore scratch bar code

    Another side note. Has anyone seen the pricing? It may be 100 for 2 cells $250 for 4 $700 for 8 why would you spend more per cell just order more quantity. Unless it is the pairing or something. That is kind or what happens with the 12 cells for $6 the 4 price was $7 the 8 price was $250 the 12...

    Varicore scratch bar code

    So I went a little crazy. I bought what said 12 cells for $6 x 2 so $12 for 24 230 AH cells. I am expecting a package of buss bars / or some crazy leaking cells that look like a balloon or something. Lol. I also got 8 of the $20 310 AH cells they both say they have shipped the next day. I bet if...

    Varicore scratch bar code

    I realized that you scratch the tab to see the code from varicore. I do not think I ever removed the black on the top or if I did there was nothing there. I am sure they are rerapped grade B cells. They have never went to full voltage or at least held it. I have been using them for about a year...

    Lifepo4 battery price to good to be true

    I am not sure if the open the case comment was for me or the last post. I did… see higher up. Including the pieces of stone. A quick note I used heat to heat just the top edge and break the seam with a couple of flat screw drivers. It seemed to work ok. I saw someone else freeze the whole...

    Lifepo4 battery price to good to be true

    I did. So I got the batteries out. They are catl FFH275 wh batteries. About 85 ah. They do seem new as they pulled that and have bar codes. So a little reflection. Justification… acceptance…. what are the stages of grief. Lol. Which one have I hit? I ended up paying $383 originally and $306...

    Lifepo4 battery price to good to be true

    So the rest of the story… I won the appeal but may have lost the battle. I got $153.48 back out of $770 +/-. I opened the battery now that it is done. It had rocks in it. Well granite or quartz pieces in it to weight it down some. What crap. The only thing I can hope is that they are at least...

    Lifepo4 battery price to good to be true

    So quick update and do not want to jinx myself, but I went through the dispute and looks like AliExpress is saying I will get $153.48 back. I was going for double that. I did have to do a couple of videos of the start and end ( not the entire time) and the agreed the batteries were not to...

    Varicore scratch bar code

    I have tested the 310 ah ones I got and looks like about 280-290 on the 2 tests I ran. I guess I am ok with them. I do not see much swelling. Maybe 1 or 2 are a little. I just have them in service now so they just run. No issues but am keeping them in a safe range. AveRage Joe had some Ruipu...
