I think I do have the BUI, but from this thread it sounds very iffy that the SolarEdge firmware would work properly anyway. So I’m thinking an old-fashioned manual transfer switch is less money and less hassle. I admit having the generator charge the LG battery would be a great benefit if it...

I have the same (or very similar) equipment as other posters in this thread - SolarEdge inverter, 10kwH LG battery, etc — and recently bought a generator hoping to connect it to the same critical loads panel that the LG battery powers as my primary backup source when the grid goes down. My...

I figured it out. My on/off switch on the lathe contains a latching relay, which also has over-amperage protection. That relay was cutting out for some reason when the inverter was powering. On the grid, it doesn't cut out. And if I hold the ON button in for a second while powering on, then...

If there are beeps, I can't hear them. But I am auditorily challenged and the lathe is in another room from the inverter over 40 feet away.

My idea for adding some start caps is based on a 3-phase rotary converter. There, you need to start turning a 3-phase motor from single-phase input, and to do that you can store a charge in start caps and then discharge that after powering up 2 of the 3 phases. That provides the rotary force...

My inverter is Magnum Energy MS4448PAE MS-PAE Series 4400W 48VDC

FilterGuy, your comments were most interesting. If I am understanding you correctly you are saying my inrush or startup current is only around 7 amps AC? That should be no problem for the solar system to handle. Also, @Remote Power Mania this motor is a single phase.

Pure sine wave magnum energy inverter. Batteries are 4 parralelied simplified 3.5’s as mentioned above it can deliver at least 70 amps

I have a hobbyist lathe with a single-phase 115v motor of 3/4 HP. This motor turns on normally when I am connected to grid power, and VERY occasionally when connected to solar. But most of the time on solar the motor does not spin up. I’m wondering what I can do to allow it to start on solar...
