SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

That would be the HESP.

Does anybody here in the forums have an HESP in their possession at this point?

Not that I'm aware of. I was really close to getting one but didn't need the fancy features as much as I needed the additional output from paralleled ASPs.

A pair of orange boxes arrived today, in perfect condition.

These ASP's are heavy.

Anybody on here have an HESP on order?

I know @bigbrovar has one that he posted about a while back.

Maybe we will get lucky and @bigbrovar will let us know what they think of it.

You had them shipped ocean freight right? How were they transported from the port of entry. On a pallet via truck freight? How long from order to delivery?

Express so it was by air. Shipped via UPS from west port. It appears there is a Chinese freight forwarder here in the US according to the shipping label.

Paid on May 14th, shipping label created the 17th, UPS received packages on the 20th in Hong Kong, packages left Hong Kong on the 26th, arrived in US and cleared customs on the 27th, then 4 days to get the packages here after being received in Addison, IL. Must have been slowly trucked acrosss Iowa, first Davenport from Addison, then Coralville which is not far away from Davenport, then Decorah in NE Iowa. A day for each leg. UPS is something else, Fed Ex or DHL would probably have cut 2 days off or more.

For some reason these move slow in Hong Kong and it took Borick 6 days to get things moving. Then UPS sits on them for 5 days. Part of this has to be weight and there is a pair.

Think of what? I got the notification, tried dialing back for context but couldn't find any. I do currently use the HESP 6kw rated for EU market. Unit works great without issues. Let me know if you have any questions.

Install in progress....slow progress, but progress none the less. Hopefully, barring major interruptions I'll be able to wire it up tomorrow and do a quick test.

Battery voltages as shipped: Lowest 3.283V, Highest 3.287V , most are at 3.285V
More testing coming soon....as time allows.

Looking good!

So...funny things that can happen...sigh... went to connect new batteries and one of the terminals just falls off. All the rest of them were fine.
Any one out there had that happen to them? Just curious...

I've seen it reported in a few posts.
My past orders have included a spare cell, just in case.

Could try and find someone local with a laser welder.
Depending on your BMS you could also run 15S until you get a repair or replacement.

What cells were they?

 

[gotbeans]

I always thought all of the batteries drilled the holes directly into the anode/cathode rods
wtf

 

[42OhmsPA]

Edit - this wiring is wrong, QO panel right side wires should be flipped. Huge thank you to @B-Mod

Anyone see anything seriously wrong?

Dumb question / looking for reassurance, L1 and L2 flip in the panel like I have them on the right side, correct?


Hopefully this weekend they will be inverting.
Glad I didn't weld up a new battery rack, found one in the scrap pile at work I can modify / beef up pretty easily to allow for 6 packs.

L1 and L2 in the breakers depends on the underlying bus bars the breakers engage when installed.
I assume true 240VAC parallel so black to black (L1) and red to red (L2)???
It also looks like Neutral is not bonded to ground (depends on install and where bond is)

Don't see the parallel communications cables, just remember the EG4 18kvp fiasco

I looked close at the bus bars and how they connect with the breakers, I'm fairly confident it's correct, just want some reassurance. I'll still verify with a meter before powering on.

Correct.

Good eye, screw is sitting in the bottom of the panel yet to be installed since this will be the main service.

I remember it well, made me glad SRNE went old school for the parallel connections.

Thank you.

You can always disconnect the black and red on one side (assuming no power), close the breakers and check continuity across the breakers, should read zero ohms. Double and triple check to be on the safe side.

Good idea, thank you.
I might go as far as hooking up a bench power supply to 1 side to quadruple check, I overthink things and wonder why I don't get anything done

Edit - thumbs are still getting used to the new screen size.

I might go as well as hooking up a bench power supply to 1 side to quadruple check, I overthink things and wonder why I don't get anything done

Hopefully you don't unintentionally blow things up or get lots of smoke, either one is worse than not getting things done.

Wires on right side breaker are wrong, switch the two wires.

Now that I stare at it again I realize I fucked up. Thank you very much!

 

[Crowz]

What are the odds. I just got the power back on here at the house installing a new breaker box at the inverters and I come in here to sit down and an update popped up on the wiring of this

 

[42OhmsPA]

It was bugging me to much, couldn't consider sleeping.
Thanks again @B-Mod and @marionw

Beefy looking table, will make a great battery rack!
