Pv @ 110-113v tested from array down to breaker to unit. Shunt display shows several hundred watts in but in full sun...

    Can Inverters shut down due to minimal load - Overcharging from Solar? Growatt 5000 ES.

    My dual spf 3000tl lvm have a setting 22 for solar power balance which on those units run fine enabled. The spf 6000/8000 do not have said setting though.

    Can Inverters shut down due to minimal load - Overcharging from Solar? Growatt 5000 ES.

    I am having similar issues. Spf 8000 + 6000 2 lfp banks 280ah Both units (same system swapped units) at full charge or cv of 57.6v shut power for short bit (long enough to throw clocks to reset, lights out, etc) I assume it is the transfer time when shutting/ throttling array down to meet the...

    Growatt SPF 3000TL 24v only accepting 300w from generator

    What is your max utility charge current set to? If 10 amps then your 29.v or so charging would be around 300w.

    Last minute help with Growatt Inverter Wiring Connections - Manual lacks (a lot of) information

    A lot of us are in the same boat with these units.. Here is the thread about the problems and the issues it causes with neutral and grid.. Long but a must read.. I am still trying to figure/ settle on a solution as well. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/growatt-12k-passthrough.37359/

    ARC flash and people who think Switch Disconnectors will help in emergency shutdown of lithium, PLEASE WATCH!

    I use the midnite mnedcrt 175 and 250s With AIC 50,000 @ 125VDC handled remotely in an enclosure and they are around 7".. not crazy huge... From their website: MidNite's breakers are rated to break the full rated load at the rated voltage repeatedly, with NO DAMAGE. Always use a properly sized...

    7kwh lfp in glass rgb lit display on wheels

    Yeah I do see a lot of lfp banks "hidden" away but I rather enjoy seeing everything involved. It definitely is a conversation starter -even without the lights going. Mostly though people can't get over what all I run off of that bank and my system for its size.

    Trip breaker (BMS controlled) VS Relay breaker (BMS controlled) VS Circuit breaker (Normal switch)

    Well in my application the shunt/remote trip breaker is my battery's main disconnect as well one of serveral protection devices on my bank (fuses, etc..) . I use it rarely for this (manual- switch style shut down for upgrades/work) and hope it never has to be tripped by an event(remotely or...

    Trip breaker (BMS controlled) VS Relay breaker (BMS controlled) VS Circuit breaker (Normal switch)

    I assume my fet bms would fry before the breaker is tripped due to the response time of the meter but my cells would live? I bought a kg140f on ali for around 50usd. Also spoke with the company and they are supposedly working on programming/ firmware update so as to control shunt/remote trip...

    Trip breaker (BMS controlled) VS Relay breaker (BMS controlled) VS Circuit breaker (Normal switch)

    Have your batrium trip a mnedcrt and/ or mnepvrt. I have my shunt coulometer with multiple programmable protection values controlling these. If a sensed failure caused it to signal and trip the breakers I would want to be there to address the issue and fix it. So the inability for it to turn...

    What class/ kind of main circuit breaker?

    It is a Growatt spf 3000tl lvm. With an ac push button breaker with no listed specs. It can surge 5s @ up to 6kw Has overload protection of: 5s@ 150% load 10s@ 110%- 150% load With programable restart en/disable after overload. It has honestly been a great unit. Just wanted to (and was wondering...

    What class/ kind of main circuit breaker?

    Right I am looking for something that will trip more on the actual rated load not 5-10x after long enough to well blow my inverter if it does not shut down the ac out properly in time.

    What class/ kind of main circuit breaker?

    Any ideas on which kind of breaker to use as ac main before subpanel (serving as my only breaker box) from inverter ac out? Can handle 30a continous out and 2x surge for 5s. I want to stay away from the max (or any surge) and I monitor/ know my home and system well. I just dont want the typical...

    It or something that can will be used to trigger a mnedcrt (.1s pulse one time @ 24-30v ) remote trip breaker to battery bank and/ or pv after being signaled by my kg140f in the event of programmed protection being triggered by ov/under voltage, mppt failure, temp, ov current, etc instead of a...

    Mnedcrt- remote trip breaker as fet bms / battery protect with mppt question.

    Aloha everyone, I have a fet (yes a daly "smart" 24v 250) based bms on my 8s lfp connected to my Growatt 24v spf3000lvm with a kg140f shunt monitor that has many programmable protection functions to control a no/nc (selectable) relay. I have a mnedc as my main battery breaker but have purchased...
