Will it be possible for me to adjust the charging current and low cut off voltage on a hybrid inverter?. with my inverter i cannot adjust anything. what that is even more annoying is that with main the charging current is 15.2A max and the low cut off voltage is 21.6v for the battery.


Yes, most definitely, you can set cut off and charging current.
You can charge from as low as 2A, depending on your model, or as high as 60A/80A from AC charger.

The thing is you can't see an MCB of 160A, MCB the big types stop at 125A that's why their model is xxxx125 while smaller MCB are of model xxx63 meaning that is the maximum you can go for their amperage range

Would you recommend the use of MCCB in between a charge controller/inverter and solar panels OR between batteries and a charge controller/inverter OR BOTH?

I have researched your previous posts; you give the impression that you are well-versed in this topic and I would like to do business with you.

bros even me sef, I am 150% careful when buying batteries.

It's not always about the brand name.

Have said it severally, FAKEs plenty for market and these people IMITATE Original products.

So to get name of Strong Battery brand is not enough, you need also bbe able to identify the FAKE, from the ORIGINAL.

As for FELICITY products, I never use am before BUT I no fit trust am judging by how rampant it's being recommedned by lots of people.

me get kind spirit wey I get, upon say I no dey religious. So long I doubt something for no just cause, then there surely is a reason.

Also when Dubious people want to Create/Market Fake Products, they often times chooses to ride on back of TRUSTED Popular products to do FREE Advert for them.


Above all, Quality batteries dey HEAVY wella.

Even Luminous gan, I no go surprise if the FAKEs, plenty Pass the original. In fact FAKE don plenty so tey e don dey get grade

I have researched your previous posts; you give the impression that you are well-versed in this topic and I would like to do business with you.


So I bought a new inverter and it recommended certain circuit breakers between the battery and the inverter and between the inverter and the solar panels.

I have contacted two companies that sell MCBs, I noticed that they both had the AC MCBs but did not have the DC MCBs.

That was the genesis of my original enquiry about MCBs.

By posting that request on this forum, I got some enlightening information that I will now share.

As at today if you search this entire forum for the expression MCCB you will get 2 pages of results, the majority of screen real estate you will find out is advertising.

Almost no one has told us when to use MCCB or when to use MCB.

So I did the research and I now present that research to the house.

I asked the question: Should I use MCCB or MCB between my inverter and its batteries?

Answer:

It is recommended to use a MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) between the inverter and batteries. This is because MCCBs have a higher breaking capacity than MCBs, which means they can handle higher currents without tripping. This is important because the inverter may draw a large surge current when it is first turned on, or when it is powering a heavy load.

In addition, MCCBs are typically more robust and durable than MCBs, making them better suited for demanding applications such as solar power systems.

Here is a table comparing MCCBs and MCBs (see picture 1 below):

When choosing an MCCB for your solar power system, it is important to select one with a current rating that is equal to or greater than the maximum current that the inverter can draw. You should also consider the breaking capacity of the MCCB, which should be sufficient to handle any surge currents that may occur.

It is important to note that MCCBs are typically more expensive than MCBs. However, the increased reliability and durability of MCCBs make them a worthwhile investment for solar power systems.

I also asked the question: Should I use MCCB or MCB between my charge controller and my solar panels?

Both MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) and MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) can be used between solar panels and a charge controller. However, there are some key differences between the two types of breakers that should be considered when choosing which one to use.

MCCBs are typically used for higher current applications than MCBs. They also have a higher breaking capacity, meaning they can handle larger fault currents. MCCBs are also typically more expensive than MCBs.

MCBs are typically used for lower current applications than MCCBs. They have a lower breaking capacity than MCCBs, but they are also less expensive.

Which type of breaker should you use between your solar panels and charge controller?

If you have a large solar panel array or if you are using a charge controller that is rated for a high current output, then you should use an MCCB. An MCCB will provide better protection for your system in the event of a fault.

If you have a small solar panel array or if you are using a charge controller that is rated for a low current output, then you can use an MCB. An MCB will be less expensive than an MCCB and it will still provide adequate protection for your system.

Here is a summary of the key differences between MCCBs and MCBs (see picture 2 below):

Recommendation:

If you are unsure which type of breaker to use, it is best to consult with a qualified electrician. They can help you to choose the right type of breaker for your specific system.

Hopefully, you wouldn't be shocked finding out there are PROFESSIONALs & INSTALLERs who havve got no idea what MCCB or MCB is .

You for try add pictures of MCCB and MCB in case we sabi am with another name. Who knows, maybe we don use am gan sef but no know say e name na MCCB or MCB.

Most places I've seen MCCB used are in industrial applications where we have like 120KVA UPS and thereabouts. And also high battery bank application,eg like 24nos of 2v 1500AH batteries and the like. It's a rugged breaker for high current application.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 8:26pm On Oct 10, 2023
NO, I will recommend an MCCB when you want a CB between an inverter and battery or where appropriate amperage is needed.

Except you have a powerplant of several PV arrays connected, an MCB of 125A would suit for a 100A charge controller

And a max. Of 63A series for PV to charge controller

An MCB is a miniature circuit breaker while an MCCB is a molded case circuit breaker molded as like with ceramic attached is a picture too

So I learned.

The higher the output of your inverter and or solar array the more likely that an MCB may not good enough.

Hope we all know/remember and appreciate that running an inverter in the house is like running a powerhouse indoors.

We need to be extremely safety conscious lest something meant to bring comfort ends up bringing sorrow.

I recall my days as a child, I used to play with screwdrivers, and I cannot recall the number of times I got shocked from poking where I should not have been.

Installing appropriate protection devices will not only safeguard equipment but may also protect life and limb.

Dedicating a room that is always under lock and key maybe another issue especially as it seems inverters, batteries and their connections are closer to the floor than the typical electrical connections at a home

Hello Gurus. Kudos for your great work here.

My 3.5KVA Ipower inverter is displaying a code 6 error. I took it to Zinox office and was told to pay N85k for repairs which will take 4 weeks. This is the 2nd time of repairing it there. The first time it took them 9 months. A week after collecting it, one of the fans stopped working, but it still worked and I supported it with an external fan.

I don't even load the Inverter up to 10% since I bought it 2 years ago, yet it keeps having issues.

Please, what do you advise? Any alternative step I can take? N85k is too much for this unreliable device biko.
