I still have a question about this. I do have the floating 60-0-60 issue when not connected, but testing with an incandescent bulb and fuse as recommended shows that it will go to “normal” when wired or supplied with a load. The ground plug on my AC outlets is wired to the case (0 ohms) and...

Great, thanks! I will create a new 8s battery with these cells and get another bms then write them in parallel. I hope this system will never be used but will just be there if needed. I've read the Wiring Unlimited book by didn't see much about batteries with different ah ratings. Lots of...

This is a home system being used for emergency power only. This is not used daily (or even monthly). I started this project after the Texas freeze and was without all power for a week. I purchased a 24v inverter and have 8 x 280ah LiFePO cells in series. I have a Daly 8s 250a BMS and a...

Thinking this thru…. Since the external grounding lug is connected internally to the AC output grounds, If I connect both, I will have a ground loop. This may or may not be bad but can cause some noise. However, since the AC output ground and the ground lug on the case are internally...

I wired the light bulb between neutral and ground. I also added a 5A fuse in the line. When wired this way, the voltage from neutral to ground goes to about 50 mV. The voltage from Line to Neutral is 120V, as expected. The light bulb does not come on and the 5A fuse does not blow. I do have...

I have a Giandel 4000w inverter that has the 60-0-60 on the ground plug. How do I test this inverter to see if it is grounded “properly” and will be ok if I hardwire it to my home breaker panel?

I’m trying to build my first system and have a question I can’t find the answer to. I have a Yamaha 2000 inverter generator but I also have a No-name 5000w non-inverter generator. Can I use the non-inverter generator (larger gas tank) to power my LiFePO4 enabled charger? I’m guessing it...
