In addition to what Niyi has said, add a Time delay switch to delay load transfer to the generator. You don't want the contactor and by extension the loads to chatter during manual Gen startup. Trippledots: 1 Like |

Good afternoon everyone! Please I want to know if 10kva inverter can handle 10hp 3 phas borehole considering the surge capacity and which type of the inverter is good for the job? Thank you! |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 5:16pm On Jan 23, 2019 |
ojtech8291:In my own POV, i'd say NO HOW; A 10Hp is approx. 7500Watts ... now a 10KVA is also .. 8000Watts i.e. if by a power factor of 0.8 .... putting into consideration a 2 or 3x surge .... i'd say it's an idea DOA .... personally i dont think it can work but i be small pikin for solar inverter world ... i'd love if my "Oga at the top, talk for the matter". Thanks also in addition its a 3- phase ... most inverters i know of are in single phase. 1 Like |

I greet my great people in the house.... I just launched and installed a hybrid Must PV1800 VHM 24v 80A MPPT inverter with Wifi RTU (remote monitoring) to relief my giant Bluegate 2kva inverter after serving tirelessly for 7years without a break and my Itracer 60A MPPT charge controller. i resulted to this when i couldn't figure out remote monitoring on my itracer with Raspi. Presently i have moved my 2400w panels on Must inverter to see how it works... i noticed the inverter doesn't display SOC/DOD, data log unlike Itracer. i will give more review as times goes on. 1 Like

NiyiOmoIyunade: Your concerns are well noted, sir. I am pretty confident of my loads and the relay rating. @free relays.... I wish i was near you oh. I laik osho free. @source... Arena at oshodi is a harbinger of all sorts. I saw a 3P 2T relay of 80amps the last time i went there. If that what you need i can direct you to the shop. I collected the seller's business card. |

I would say it is desirable to add a suitably rated circuit breaker between a charge controller and battery for two reasons; 1) To comply with code requiremements 2) Electrical safety in the event of an overload or shortcircuit condition to protect the wiring and prevent a fire Personally, I don't use a circuit breaker though, I use only a manual disconnect because of my experience with a nuisance trip that destroyed my charge controller way back. I also trust the inbuilt current limiting features of a premium CC - once I have installed using the right cable gauge - slightly oversized for some fault tolerance Barezzi: |

Barezzi: This one is a tough question that leaves every1 to his own opinion. Personally I don't like d idea of using breakers in btw cc n Ba3... If the breaker trips cc gets fried, and the only thing that can mk it trip is if there is short circuit on the ba3, that ll nt happen if the ba3 terminals r well covered... But If the wrong hand go trip dt breaker n cc fry, e go pain person o, i rather leave it abeg |

My sentiments exactly! NiyiOmoIyunade: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mank1234(m): 11:00pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Barezzi: It depends on the cc. In any case I recommend using one or a battery disconnect switch. And manufacturers too recommend it. You can use one that disconnects bot the solar and battery uf battery were to trip. 1) some Cc can handle situations where battery mcb trip but solar is still on. Previous Morningstar firmware version wasn't able to handle this but it seems later version solved it. Axpert, Victron and Epsolar handles this conveniently 2) if you're a Morningstar user, when u want to upgrade firmware, you'll need to break the connection btw cc and battery at some point. 2 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 6:15am On Jan 25, 2019 |
Barezzi: As adviced, you can use a breaker that disconnects solar and battery together. I think its the safest approach. 1 Like |

Barezzi:It is not necessary. It is mandatory! While I'd rather not have a breaker, a once-in-a-lifetime experience showed me how necessary they are. As always, the breaker is meant to protect the cabling from combustion. In essence, you are required to use cabling that won't jeopardize your installation i.e. large enough for max loading (with some headroom) yet not so large that your breaker would be sized to allow Nigeria to burn down before it trips, if ever. If I try the double breaker thing, because of the enormous rating mismatch, my PV would never trip off under any kind of fault. 6 Likes |

mcTrinity:I actually have a similar PV:battery bank ratio. Yes, I run two deep freezers and a fridge on mine during the day, asides other stuff like washing machines. The CC should handle the max current deliverable with ease. Mine is a Midnite coupled with a WizBang Jr. For fear of overhyping the combo, you can limit charge current and determine end-amps (charging no longer terminated by time lapse). Night-time loads peak around 200W and average about 150W (some LED lights of 3W - 5W, a 47" LED LG TV around 35W, an occasional 32" TV during football season/holidays and 2 ceiling fans of 25W). At bedtime, TVs and most lights go off, an extra fan or two might come on so loads stay roughly the same. Security lights are automated DC and powered by a different bank/PV array. Night-time inverter is 48V 375VA and has a self-consumption of 9W. The key is in minimizing consumption. Currently eyeing JUO's DC fans for an even more efficient system. Anyway, no well-meaning SCC should kill batteries simply because you're overcompensated on PV array size. 4 Likes |
