Watching and Learning
I've got a Victron 250/100 connected to a 4s3p configuration of ground mount panels.
Getting nearly 100A battery charging from the MPPT right now, which is great (5300-5550 W).
I've designed the system for 40A.
Two Langir 40A DC Non-Polarized breakers/disconnects.
Polarized 50A GFPD from Midnite.
Wiring from the combiner to the house:
2 AWG Aluminum (220 ft URD, it was cheap, lower voltage drop)
6 AWG (45 ft THHN/THWN2 in EMT in crawl space)
8 AWG Silicone 200C (5 ft to utility room DC panel and disconnect)
I saw this from Victron Connect today (duration 30 seconds).
When the MPPT algorithm does it thing, I see peak current of 42A.
It's only for a few seconds, so no breakers tripped (and I wouldn't expect them to, C Curve).
Should I be concerned about the higher than expected current?
