Infinitikoncept:

Update
We just installed yesterday and from findings after using another 3.5kva brought by the technician today we discovered the mercury inverter you sold is bad. Testing with a bulb it shows blue then red Light with a loud noise and we had to call another expert in Zaria who confirmed the symptoms as either a bad IC or a bad programming.
What's the way forward?

Be fair! Read all infinitikoncept post all over nairaland and put urself in his shoes.

I believe he said something about Whatapp as you've suggested.

Cheers!

so any idea why small strand cables are prefferred to the thicker less strands type as shown in the picture below. dont really understand the explanation in the pic

2ndly anybody using fangpusun/victron energy mppt charge controller.
can the person confirm if it has equalization settings, from the manual its saying a software is needed to turn on the equalization setting

Hello, I have been down and receiving medication .. I also noticed the posts about fairly used mercury inverter sold few days ago but havnt been strong enough to attend to my business .. Thanks

Yes I have been on medication even as I type.. We have individual differences and opinions .. He posted on few threads for a fairly new inverter tested in Lagos by his staff and started indicatin fault when sent to him ... I will definitely attend to him as I already replied his mail .. Efuro do not preach Fair when you have transacted severally in the past and know my mobile numbers are always reachable unless if something is wrong somwer... Let's be real .. Its unlike men to act like women! Cheers

May be because of:
Flexibility

The main reason it is recommended is because its much easier to bend and flex in tight spots. Although finely stranded cables are not required, they make installing and servicing the system easier and reduce stress on the battery and inverter terminals

In short it is superior and thats why it is required to be used in Marine, Automotive, and Aircraft industries. If you can afford the higher cost per yard compared to other cables, why not?!

Thanks bro efuro make I leave mctrinity matter. Kiekie1 told me he was sick yesterday and have been on drugs which is why I edited my update so it won't look like I dey bring down his good works and integrity.
Of a truth from his response he isn't a trouble some person and I don't know why someone that didn't borrow me money felt airing my feedback is now a crime.
Brox kiekie1 get well soon

Ok good.the attached doc was talking about heating n possible fire from thick strand cables.

Also on the fangpusun/victron energy clone equalizition issue.
Bigrovar i recall u use fangpusun...can u shed more light?.

pranil:


for 48 V you can have a look at Victron Quattro 5kw - 1 million or 8 KW/10 KW ( almost space price) - 1.8 million ,
SMA Sunny island - 8H - 1.6 million


Something cheaper is ipower /gennex 5 KVA ( 4 KW) x 2 = 8 KW /10 KVA approximately 6000 K including parallel kit - Can be expanded upto 24 KW single phase

I have no personal experince wityh Magnum but i think one unit is max 4.4 KW

All the inverters have chargers built in . Inverters without charger cost approximately 100 K less but it is better to buy with charger ( easier to resell or charge in emergency)

cheap alternative is china made inverters but for a such a serious system I would advise against it

Many thanks Anil.

I will take a look at the options proposed.

I think you are right about the Chinese inverters. I currently have a 6KW Prag, which seems to have developed a problem. The fans (both DC and AC) would randomly start running at top speed and can do that for a whole day if you do not switch off the inverter to reset. My problem is that once it starts running at that speed, the LED display would indicate that the system is loaded up to 60%, meanwhile the actual load may just be less than 15%. In terms of amperage and wattage, it would indicate that the load is about 12A and over 3kw when the actual load is about 1-2A or 400-600W. However, once you switch it off and back on, the load would mysteriously disappear and consumption becomes normal as indicated above. So I am suspecting that the two fans running simultaneously without stop increases the self-consumption of the inverter incredibly higher than normal.

I have contacted Prag and they were not helpful and their only advice was that I change module in the unit, responsible for load and consumption control, at the rate of N120k, for a unit that is just about two years old. So rather than change that module every two years, I would rather spend the funds on getting higher quality, more effective and efficient low self-consuming inverter that would serve me better.

Once again, many thanks for the recommendations.

Cheers

We recently designed our mppt solar charge controller, targeting Nigerian market, our mppt comes with two year warranty, affordable and reliable, 98% efficiency, utilizing three phase Buck converters for higher current and higher efficiency.

Three signals for the three Buck converters for higher efficiency.

...

I find it interesting that no one would volunteer the information. The issue of flexibility and crimping problems are real but the real reason is something quite different. Google up "skin effect", if my memory serves right.

The explanation is right there in picture ( last Para) basically more strands to mean more copper in contact with the terminal.

what is the model type No.

For Victron, you have to use a programme called Victron Connect Either on PC or on Ipad/Iphone or android tablet/ phones
Also to connect to the MPPT CC you need either one of these

Skin effect is prominent in AC systems, not DC systems. In Ac systems For preventing electronic interference, however, stranded wire holds a disadvantage because the air channels between strands magnify the skin effect caused by magnetic fields on the surface of the wire.


If a Wire can be crimped by the hydraulic press than both stranded and non-stranded work the same. But for direct connection to terminal stranded are preferred due to higher contact area

Probably, I used the enclosure, but different operating system, makeskyblue uses unknown chip and smaller inductors, while I used pic micro chip with bigger inductor .

Its fangpusun 1.16 firmware. 60amp 48v mppt cc.which is a direct victron clone.
The equalization setting is grayed out.
I hope the software is free and readily available.

For remote monitoring...what did u use to connect it to the web?.

Edit..saw thr app on playstore and the bluetooth connector on amazon too...wahala..
So just to set up equalization...i get to jump tru all these hoops..
Guess thats the price to pay for cloned stuff..
Btw epsolar and the fangpusun/victron clone....wch wud u recommend?....

my very first version, dual phase, maximum of 40a . Before modification to 3 phase now 75a maximum. Y'all would try out my product once it's ready for end user. I enabled only serial communication, equalization enabled for lead acid batteries.
