    Sodium Ion Battery Equipment

    I have a lot of experience with JK BMS and assume it would be capable of managing these cells as well, don’t think this is the equipment bottle neck unless I am missing something. I have been working with a group and evaluated their Na Ion Prismatic Cell test results and they look promising. I...

    Sodium Ion Battery Equipment

    Has anyone investigated what equipment on the market could possibly work for a PV setup with a Na Ion battery? Nominal Voltage = 3.1V; Operating Range 2.0V-4.0V. Inverter and Charge Controller will require very large operating window to accommodate these parameters. Does anyone have a list...

    AC-Coupled Grid Tie System

    Faulty installations are definitely not good, extreme care needs to be taken with any of this equipment to ensure there are no failures or your starting out without a chance. Over the years we have seem some terrible work by company's that are now out of business thankfully, we have lasted and...

    AC-Coupled Grid Tie System

    We have had issues with the Energy Hub version but the HD Wave has been bullet proof for us. I have had to replace 4 EH's this year alone. It is also an absolute nightmare to get the External CT's for Import/Export to read correctly, there are more issues with that than I can mention and their...

    AC-Coupled Grid Tie System

    We have a 1:1 Net Meter arrangement here in Ontario, credits are available for 12 months from day we send it back to grid. In regards to my 'LV' notation I was referring to low voltage battery AC Couple (ie - 24/48V) vs high voltage (ie - 400V LG Chem/SE Energy Bank/etc). I would like to use...

    AC-Coupled Grid Tie System

    Amazing stuff guys, thanks for getting involved in the convo. I'm relatively new to this stuff but am SOOO fascinated by it and am going down the rabbit hole head first!! I'm a Mechanical Engineer so consider myself technical but still getting versed on the nuances of the AC Coupled...

    AC-Coupled Grid Tie System

    I am looking at this type of setup and am thinking about the Schneider XW Pro as well. Can you elaborate on what you mean by programming skills and provide some details on the External Controller you purchased? For reference I have a LiPO battery I built and want to connect to the XW, I'm...

    Batrium WatchMonCore w/ Cellmate-K9 - 16s1p 280Ah - BMS Not Reading all cells properly/at all

    I have an issue with my BMS that I am looking for some feedback on. I have just set it up for the first time but purchased the equipment over a year ago. I have verified that I have closely matched cell voltages after connecting them in parallel to a desk top power supply. I mounted my...

    Batrium Virus on Software Download from Batrium Website

    Hello, Batrium newbie here. Just finished wiring up my BMS for 48V 280Ah LiPO and having issue downloading software for BMS Management. I am getting an error indicating there is a Virus detected and I'm unable to install this. Is this common and should I disable something or is there an...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    FYI - I received a response from Schneider in regards to my questions about Neutral connections between the Schneider AC Switchgear and the SW4048 Inverter. I asked them why the AC Switchgear document says to connect Neutral Bus in Switchgear to AC Input N terminal in the SW4048, however the...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    Additional important point, I used my Fluke117 to evaluate that Continuity does exist between the AC Input N and AC Output N terminals on my SW4048 confirming that these are electrically tied at the Inverter terminals. I really wish this was more clear in Schneider documentation, I have been...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    Thanks for the feedback guys. So it sounds like there only needs to be a single neutral wire running from AC Breaker Panel Neutral Bus to the SW4048, either the Inv-Input N OR Inv-Output N can be used, or even BOTH could be installed at same time and the system would work per the descriptions...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    Thanks for all your input Michael, this has been very helpful. I have a good handle on the Output details now. I will be introducing the Neutral-Ground bond at the AC In receptacle I’m adding via a dummy plug that will always be connected unless the Charger is plugged in to grid so I won’t...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    There was definitely no ‘AC Output N’ wire included with the system, this is what has me stumped and confused. My original question was when I make and install this missing ‘AC Output N’ wire, do I connect it to the same Neutral Bus bar that the ‘AC Input N’ wire is connected to by Schneider...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    Thank you very much for the details. I guess what is confusing me is the Schneider AC box came with a single Neutral wire labeled ‘AC Input N’ - see attached photos. I have this factory supplied ‘AC Input N’ wire installed in the AC-In ‘N’ terminal in the Inverter because it was labeled...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    Sorry about the poor description, still learning about a lot of this stuff and I’m certainly not an electrician. My system will be completely off grid the vast majority of the time and will be in an enclosed trailer travelling to job sites, 16x280Ah EVE Cells recharged from PV using the...

    Schneider Conext 4048 - Load Center set-up and Breaker requirements

    I am looking for recommendations and advice on my Inverted Load Centre panel and breakers for my remote Solar Generator Project using a single SW4048. I have also purchased the Schneider A/C and D/C panels designed for the SW line as part of the setup, looks neat and tidy this way. I am...
