    sungoldpower 24v 6000w pure sine split phase no output

    I have a 24v 6000w pure sine low frequency split phase inverter. I have a 3hp air compressor pump that blows air down my well casing running on a 3/4 hp motor with my wheels being sized properly to support a low air pressure driving from the belt. this fills my water storage tank. I have a 1/2...

    question about mains and battery power wirhout hybrid inverter or transfer swirch

    I know this isn't code and the dangers of blowing circuits and possible death. I'm asking this just for personal understanding. If you ran your entire split phase system into electric Company service pole and shut off the main 200amp service breaker it would not back feed the utility power. Vice...

    Eg4 6500EX 48 question

    I have (30) 230 watt 37v 8 amp monoTrina solar panels. I have (2) Eg4 6500EX 48 inverters that will be setup up for split phase output. My question is are both array inputs on the inverter allowed to handle the 500v 4000w input. I believe that is correct from reading the manual. If so, I can on...

    (3) EG4 48v 100ah basic model battery in parallel without server rack

    I have 3 of the basic model eg4 48v 100ah batteries. I'm not using a server rack and was going to connect each battery in parallel with 4/0 wire. I was then going to run power from top battery and negative from bottom battery also using 4/0 to my busbar and fuses. Is this overkill for wire or as...
