    New RD6024 power supply?

    Sorry, haven't been on the forum very much lately.... It's a bit overwhelming these days. The lugs are M6. M6x1

    New RD6024 power supply?

    For what it's worth, I bought the 60v/25A model and there is a pot next to the connectors for the wire that you can turn it up. I think I set it to 62v and left it there. It works great.

    New RD6024 power supply?

    I have done some additional loading of it beyond what I mentioned there, but not extensive. It's still running flawlessly, though. My solar/battery project got put on hold for a while due to some back issues that were severe and required treatment and then finally surgery, so now that I'm...

    Which power supply for Riden RD6018

    @sshibly @tomsk So, I ground away a little of the mounting on the power supply to clear the foot stand off, and drilled new holes for where this ended up sitting in the case. I used different screws & nuts than what came with it and cut the screws down to size.

    I won't be back where it is right now until 1/9, but I'll see what I can do then.

    Which power supply for Riden RD6018

    The mounting holes didn't line up properly. I think I drilled a couple of different holes to mount it to the case. It's been a while.

    Which power supply for Riden RD6018

    I ordered this one: XJIVNV 1500w Power Supply It didn't fit 100% bolt in, but I was able to make it fit and work and it's been great. I would suggest buying a heavy duty, rated for 15A power supply cord for it. I bought this one: TripLite HD Computer Power Cable

    My DIY 14.3kwh EVE Battery Box Build

    Not really. There should never be any heat build up there under normal conditions. The dual breaker allows another way to remove both poles of the battery from the system (Anderson connector being the other). I had a 2 pole breaker on the v1 battery, but was told I would need to run one of...

    What switch for battery bank? (48vdc @ 200amp)

    I'm using this one: AliExpress Link to Cut Off Switch It's rated for 600A Continuous at 50v. It can also be found on Amazon, but for 2x as much. I have it coming through the top of my box so I have easy access. My DIY 14.3kwh EVE Battery Box

    Can anyone recommend a descent benchtop PSU?

    It's earlier models that do not unscrew. They do unscrew on the RD6024

    Can anyone recommend a descent benchtop PSU?

    Do you have a price range you're looking for? I love my RD6024, but it's a little pricy compared to those little units.

    Why not ANL fuse instead of Class T?

    Research AIC. Plenty of info here on the forum.

    What's the reason behind using 240V inverters with transformers when they have split phase ones?

    If you buy the Signature Solar version of the SPF5000ES (US) inverter, it has been modified by the factory to not have the L2 / Ground bond. This has been well documented here. If you buy a random one from China or eBay, all bets are off. More than likely you will get one that has a relay...

    JK-B2A25S60P 500amp bms - how to connect to battery power leads?

    No... I don't own one, but I did look at it at one point. Here is a link to the contactor on the Hankzor BMS store 500A Main Contactor

    JK-B2A25S60P 500amp bms - how to connect to battery power leads?

    That is a solenoid BMS. You'll need to purchase the HD contactor that goes with it separate, and then that wires into the BMS

    PV Bifacial - Calculating Voltage & Current when not in spec sheet (Aptos DNA 440W)

    In all the bifacial panels I've looked at, the VOC will maybe go up .1v, but the Amp rating is what you calculate out at the % of gain.

    Overpanelling GroWatt? Risks?

    For the cost of individual components, you can buy spare AIO's. ;) I plan on running off 2 SPF5000s, but plan on having 3 wired up for just such a situation. Maybe use the 3rd as a charge controller only, or maybe just have it sitting there ready.

    Where is @Will Prowse?

    He already did something similar to this - don't think it was with bi-facials, but I would expect similar results.

    What's the reason behind using 240V inverters with transformers when they have split phase ones?

    What a drama queen... This debate and bashing has been going on for well over a year now. Exactly how many transformers have you heard failed during that time? I know far more stories from friends/family where they lost neutral from a branch falling on overhead power lines or similar. The...

    Unable to get 4/0

    If you can't get it, I tend to agree with @HRTKD and see if you can use 2x2/0 cables or something like that.

    Unable to get 4/0

    You forgot to mention the voltage of the inverter. For needing that size cable, I would suspect 12v?

    Hankzor JK BMS with screen and power button

    I received my units with screen and was complaining pretty hard to JK about the fact that they soldered the switch to the wiring harness of that box. There is literally no way to mount the switch when it's soldered, so ??? - what the heck were they thinking. I plan on unsoldering mine and...

    EVE 280Ah cells. are they stock USA?

    Everything arrived perfect, as was the case last time I ordered from them. I have not had time to do any testing, but I have no doubt everything would be the same as last time.
