Thanks for the great LV6548 AC discussion in the recent MPP LV6548 AC Wiring Question thread. I wanted to start a new one with a different scenario.
I am completely off-grid. I was going to use a pair of LV6548 units for split phase, but I have managed to remove my need for 240V (through gas appliances and a 120V slow well pump into a cistern.)
This is in a house I just had moved to my property, so there is an existing panel that is expecting split phase power. I will be having this inspected, so Canadian Electrical Code 2018 applies.
questions:
My Whisperwatt 7000 generator has two 25A outputs, one at 120V and one 120/240
When the sun is shining and the batteries good, I want to run off inverter. When it gets low I want to run off the generator.
Off mains power, the LV6548 wants a 60A feed to service both battery charging and load. My generator can’t supply that. Is there a way of using my two 25A circuits to supply that?
I do have a less efficient generator with two 30A circuits, but my actual load is low enough that I would prefer to design around the whisperwatt if possible.
Any thoughts? I will put together a diagram of my planned system.
Thanks!
