When i started solar, i had a 12v system. I purchased these 12v bus bars:
I now have a 48v system. Just realized I am still using these 12v bus bars.
My EG4-3K is only capable of drawing 25a from the battery. The battery is connected to the inverter through the bus bar:
[ battery ] -->--[ bus bar ] -->-- [ inverter ]
I have 5X 400W solar panels which face east at the wrong angle (i.e, they never do close to 2kW). I do sometimes use my anker solix connected to the grid input of the EG4 to charge the battery on extended cloudy days, which the BMS sees as 19a charge current.
My question is, what amperage can these 12v 200a bus bars safely handle at 48v? Can i simply replace the "bar" between the posts or must I buy new bus bars?
I am not rich, but $40 in bus bars isn't an issue. Its more about the time in swapping them. If using the 12v bus bars is unsafe, they must go, no questions asked.
Before i spend the T&M, is it necessary?
