    RV Southwire Transfer switch and Open ground

    The generator satisfies the grounding needed for the transfer switch to work. I'm investigating connecting the generator and the power input grounding wires.

    I have a class A motorhome with a Southwire 41301 120v 30A transfer switch. The Motorhome has a generator and thus the need for the transfer switch . My problem is that when I plug the Motorhome into my Gro-Watt inverter the transfer switch displays a open ground and will not engage. I've tried...

    I have a new google pixel 8 phone. I'm trying to find the ENJPOWER app to install on this phone but so far I've had no luck. Help please. I've done several searches but most threads are just talking about settings on their system and not the app. Thanks -K

    24V Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM stops using solar even when solar is available

    I have a 24V Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM All in one and overall it has been working fine. I am using 8 Lishen 200ah cells and a JK BMS. Everything works but one annoying thing I cannot get the system to stop doing is use solar instead of the battery. It will get 90% +/- charged maybe even 100 % +/-...

    JBS BMS cycling relay once fully charged

    I think you are on to something. I have charge voltage set at 28.2 volts. With 100% set in the BMS at 3.450 volts per cell. No faults shown in the BMS. I think I need to set 100% at 3.5 volts and the charge set at 27.8 volts . I'm going to try that tomorrow.

    Hi from Limpopo in South Africa

    I was just there for 2 weeks, In Limpopo, the ranch I was at is thinking of going solar also. I saw stunned to hear the you still have to pay a electric bill even if you are off grid. I also hear your power price is going up 60+% Yikes

    Solar in South Africa a little different

    I just spent 2 weeks in South Africa. The ranch I was at was thinking of going solar as their power is turned off for "Load Shedding" for 4 hours a day. This is the odd part. If you put solar in you are still required to pay a monthly fee for not using them. $50 to $100 a month. TIA ... LOL

    JBD 7S-20S 200A relay cycling/clicking over and over

    my experience Santan used Trina panels

    I just finished testing 17 - 250 watt solar panels I picked up at Santan's Savannah facility. Very happy: At solar noon each panel output between 212.5 worst and 227 watts best. For September I thought that was good. Just FYI . I've bought 33 panels from then and have had no duds so far.

    JBD 7S-20S 200A relay cycling/clicking over and over

    Another JBD 7S-20S 200A problem. Everything looks good voltages are good , all cells are reading fine. BUT when I turn on my my Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM inverter the relay starts cycling. The growatt comes on just fine but it sounds loud and incorrect so I shut it down. I haven't tried to pull a...
