Happen to have a pic that shows how this is wired?
ill go take a current pic,be back in ten,this is driving me nuts
back battery left post positive to tne inverter,front batter right post negitive going to inverter
That’s mostly what I was looking for.
clamps tempery until i figure this out they go to the controller,white wire on transfer switch plugs into mains,black wire goes to lights and the blue one plugs into the inverter
your thoughts,if my crappy batteries drained fast would that do it,when it switches back and fourth the lights dont even flicker
takes about 20mins for batteries to get to 12.2 then flips voltage constantly changing sun just wont cooperate,need a fan for the clouds also
interesting just checked transfer switch 12.4 controller 13.6,but the transfer switch is getting its reading from the middle battery,just checked the voltage all three batteries 13.1,transfer switch reads 12.4,you got me scratching my head,wtf,inverter 12.8
how can i protect the inverter,cost me 400 bucks been running all day,shut down with the error opp this morning when it would be switching back and fourth more often
hey what if one of the load wires were reversed
are you deep in thought mistersandals
Are you referring to me stepping away for a bit?
I don’t understand what back and forth you are referring to. The ATS switch?
I think it would take somebody knowing more details about your AC load to answer that. If it might help, here's a quick description of how the cheap MSW inverters work. They first upconvert the DC input to about 140 volts DC (for a 120 volt RMS output). The minus side of this 140 volts is tied (hardwired) to the negative battery input. Then at the output frequency, the inverter reverses the polarity of the 140 volt DC on the AC output terminals, creating a 280 volt peak-to-peak waveform. The AC outputs are at zero volts for the mid-step of the MSW waveform. This, each of the two AC output lines is sometimes connected to the DC negative input, and sometimes connected to the positive output of the 140 volt supply. If the DC input is connected to a common or ground wire, connecting either AC output line to common or ground results in the 140 volt DC supply being short-circuited, and the transistors that perform the polarity switching go up in smoke. (I did learn this the hard way). That 140 volt value of the DC supply is nominal. It's unregulated and proportional to the voltage of the inverter's DC input. The RMS output voltage is regulated by changing the pulse width of the PSW waveform. As the battery voltage goes down, the AC peak voltage goes down, and the width of the active part of the waveform increases. If you have something really, really weird going on, maybe the differing peak output voltage and/or pulse width could be related. A longshot I realize. You might not appreciate my opinion, which is to get a decent quality PSW invcerter.
