Thanks, That seems like a lot but I'll get a meter and check mine.Checked with fluke amMeter for inrush. Lasts about 1.25 seconds.

Think the rule of thumb is 5x to7x running amps for inductive loads. My pump running after first 2 seconds is 5.8a or 1400w like clockwork. Starting inrush is always just over 37a so approx 9000 watts.Thanks, That seems like a lot but I'll get a meter and check mine.
I guess he got it worked out - not sure.Did you do this and did it work?
Just to makes sure, this is for the Batteries NOT the 6500?QTHN666666
The issues @EJansen have run into are pertaining to the Rapid Shutdown article of NEC. The EG4 inverter doesn't discharge its own PV capacitors in 10 seconds, as required by code. External DC contactors are required to disconnect the PV wires from the inverter at the inverter end, and then RSD Tigo/HRSD devices on the solar panels disconnect the wires at that end.I'll have to look into the state requirements on Monday. In most states there is no issue but there are a few that require additional components. California is one for sure but I can't remember the others off the top of my head.
Well said, thanks @ncsolarelectric !The issues @EJansen have run into are pertaining to the Rapid Shutdown article of NEC.

Any region on NEC 2017 - 2020 will have an issue passing RSD if they mount the panels on the roof.
In addition, NEC 2014 - 2020 requires ground fault and arc fault protection as well, which the EG4 doesn't have either. SolarBOS has very expensive combiner boxes that do this, but they won't sell directly to the general public.
These are things that are built-in to the Sol-Ark, which make it very expensive but code compliant.
It is one thing to comply with UL 1741, but it's another to comply with NEC. The inverter needs to do both!
80 to 95 wattsWhat's the idle consumption with the inverter on?
Also of note that if connected to the grid that consumption comes from the grid connection.80 to 95 watts
As long as you have your setup to pull utility before battery it should come from the grid.Also of note that if connected to the grid that consumption comes from the grid connection.
I’m speaking on the LV6548, which if you have configured in SBU it will consume around 30-50W of grid power to be “ready” to transition to Grid if needed.As long as you have your setup to pull utility before battery it should come from the grid.
Idle draw is up to 70w but typically in the 55-65 range.I would think SUB would be the best setting in this case. I'll find exact numbers on idle draw when I get in front of the computer
Question about your well pump, what is the "starting" power requirement?I am running a 140 ft deep well pump with mine. It pulls around 3200 watts. The two 6500’s handle it fine along with my hvac system
it is because the connection is between RS232 and RS465 - if you look at the pin explanations, it matches - if you use a straight through ethernet cable, they are not going to meet as needed.I am currious: Do you know why EG4 chose to go with a non-standard pinout for the cable?
It is pulling 240vac and inrush measured with an amp clamp was 3200 but settles down to a little less than 2700 after it starts. It is a submersible that has a starting capacitor built into the control box. It acts as a soft start I’m assumingQuestion about your well pump, what is the "starting" power requirement?
