    Testing the Inverter

    Hi, An old customer has asked me to run a health check on their Solar PV system which we installed some 5 years ago. Not something I've done before, beyond the standard installation testing, so I was going to: Test each panel for Vout against irradiance Check all electrical connections Test the...

    After installing Inverter Drive, two motors now running at different speeds?

    We've just put in a bread cooling conveyor system. It has two sections, 8ft, and 25ft. Each belt has its own motor, both being 3PH, 230v. Each motor draws approximately 2 Amps. We put in a 5 HP Lenze Inverter Drive to control both motors because, before installing the Drive, both belts were...

    Display drops out on SMA 3000TL-US, but inverter still outputs

    My newest inverter has a strange issue - the display quits but the inverter still works. I verified the voltage/amperage when display was out, and it's still working. This doesn't seem to affect production, but the intermittent lack of a display is of concern. Also, the "today's output" is...

    Solar PV, Hybrid Inverter and Electric Vehicle Charger

    I'm considering buying a domestic 4kW PV with 6kWh of battery storage and a 5kW hybrid inverter from Sungrow. My problem is that wife's electric car has a 7kW Podpoint charger. I assumed that the hybrid inverter would pull power from the grid when the house demand exceeds 5kW, but there's no...

    Inverter went pop, can you identify this film capacitor?

    Hi all. I recently had a 300w inverter go pop and I'd really like to try to repair it if possible (it's a valuable part of a solar energy system). Upon first inspection, the big metallized polypropylene film capacitor right next to the AC output has burnt. I've no idea if there is any further...

    Inverter on earth stake?

    Been asked to replace an old consumer unit, PV installed so bonding etc up to scratch. House supply is TNCS, however with the PV wiring the inverter (Fronius) is on its own earth stake! So that makes 2 earthing systems in close proximity! Why would they want to earth stake the inverter?

    4.57Kw PV with a 4Kw inverter. Inverter too small?

    Hi, I bought a 4.57Kw PV system (14x SunPower 327W panels) for my house last year. I now noticed that the installer fitted a SE4000 Solaredge which is limited to 4Kw. I can see from my stats that the system goes up to 3.98Kw but never above. It just goes flat and stays at 3.98Kw (especially...

    Hi I am buying a new Motor home, & want to do away with my generator. I know that running an inverter draws a lot of power from a Leisure Battery.
