Hi, new to the group and I have a couple questions to see if I can get some information on my trailer operating settings/parameters.
I recently purchased a DC Solar Trailer, I believe my trailer is configuration A, 11kW Kubota diesel generator, two flooded forklift batteries, two LED light towers, 10 solar panels etc…
Two questions, first is I was wondering if the 2 50 amp RV plugs can be wired together (spliced together) off of separate 50 amp RV pigtails, and brought into a sub panel to charge the hot leads and make the sun panel 100 amp to run a tiny home? Essentially take the two 50 amp plugs on the trailer and run pigtails off of each 50 amp plug and join them (splice them with a splice block) into on 100 amp cable to power a 100 amp sub panel?
Second question is if you know anything about the programming of the SMA inverters? I do not have any reference point/information on how the trailers were programmed. The generator turns on to charge the batteries when they are low; however, the generator only runs for maybe 2-5 minutes, then it shuts down, then it turns in again after 2-5 min and repeats this cycle. It has to be in the programming of the generator and when it turns on with auto start, SOC of the batteries, voltage, etc… The inverters are SMA, one slave and one master inverter. The MidNite Solar 250 charge controller is set on diversion so the SMA inverter can control the generator.
I’m trying to figure all of this out.
Any help would be gate appropriated.
