Guess I'm joining the Schneider cool cats club :) I don't have a use for it yet but at that price ... actually maybe I could use it grid tied and feed back some of my summer excess so I don't need a gigantic battery to get thru winter, NY is pretty picky on permitted devices but this should be good to go.

Its the end of a glorious era of long duration surge. A moment in history.

"Long duration surge" basically just means it's a more powerful inverter than the nameplate rating but it doesn't have the cooling capacity to maintain the max power continuously.

I wonder if anyone has done any cooling mods to them. I have modded most of my electronics with High-quality Noctura fans and upgraded thermal paste. It is amazing what those two combos can do for added cooling.
 
The only problem with fan replacement is you have to be careful and not decrease the CFM or increase the current draw while you replace them. I use the Noctua fans in computer builds all the time. Some of them billed as quiet do it by less CFM

Good info. No tax / Free shipping , as I found out when at check out. Got the insight at NAZ, gona need that. And a non schneider charge controller from Light Harvest Solar. Every thing else to make it function, I think I have the rest to use as a back up.

I don't know of any other inverter that can sustain this kind of surge (maybe sigineer but they have massive idle consumption)

Indeed, even Victron Quattros would likely fall over, though there's a slightly higher output rating on a 10kva unit. Several videos out there showing this too. They are tanks.

Still temping. I haven't pulled a trigger on what I want to do yet. I wish their MPPTs were a bit cheaper. With a PDP, these make one hell of a clean install.

Yeah it's tough either spend a grand a pop on 600/100s or bypass the clean look and go with something like Victron 250/100s instead for a "hybrid" design. Even my little 48/1200 can surge over double when starting my propane dryer but only for a few seconds before it shuts down if the washer load is too big/heavy.

I need to look, I'm guessing there'd be a way to pull the data together for a single view. If Schneider data can pulled out of an Insight device. That could potentially be neat.

Kind of wonder what support would be like, mostly for replacing say a failed part. It happens. The software itself, I think they are pretty much leaving where it is.

Sigh, gotta work. Otherwise I might let myself get distracted. 😂 😂 😂

I will prob throw a smartshunt 300A on the 6848 and get basic load/consumption data thru vrm on the cerbo, basically like I have on my Rosie via "has dc system" option in vrm.

Too bad we can't get these preprogrammed for lfp with say 55.2V/54.4V battery charge settings so we didn't need to buy insights at all.

I tell you what, order one and have it shipped here.... I'll hang it on the wall and program it for you.... and test it out to make sure it functions good for the warranty period :)

What does Rosies curve look like?
Click to expand...
I haven't seen an official curve but reports it can sustain 60A for a minute. In this thread where a development Rosie was being tested it was basically limited by a 250A dc breaker that would trip in the low 300s.

So it doesnt have that 5 minute surge of a 6848 but potentially can surge beyond for a shorter time period? They apparently spent 7 years perfecting the power stage of the Rosie/little rosie and eventual b17 module.

I look forward to testing them both to compare.

Thread 'Midnite Solar Rosie HF Inverter 27kW Surge Test'

Disclaimer: I'm not employed by nor compensated by Midnite Solar. I happen to be located near their factories in Arlington, WA and take advantage of the open door policy. I stop in several times a week and try to break stuff! If you stop in and ask if you can attempt to break stuff, they most likely will let you!

I did a 27kW surge test on the Midnite Solar Rosie 6.8kW rated High Frequency Inverter today. COLD START! 12kW of incandescent lights and four portable air compressors. The pumps have a total surge of 15kW and running watts around 7.5kW. Inverter DC input breaker was off...

Stellavolta was super quick with the shipping as usual but cockblocked by ups from a Saturday delivery, pushed back to Monday:
