I currently have a set of enersys 12v155f's. I have no complaints. (used set at rock bottom prices). Yestersday and the previous night they get a 20 hr workout during a power outage. Racks are easy...

Well today I had time at the time it happened again. Grid voltage dropped to 104VAC at 5:30PM.
I was able to reset my minimum voltage down. Don't know why I couldn't last time I tried. Anyway,...

My backup doesn't need to be 100% but would be nice not having to reset all the clocks, reboot computer, reboot tv boxes & tv etc.
The inverter will not allow me to reset the minimum voltage to...

My xw4024 is acting a little strange lately. Almost every night at 5-6PM my line voltage drops to 106 VAC. That may be an issue on my end so not a concern right now. When the inverter kicks in,...

The thought crossed my mind a few times to do a 2 week test run. I know batteries will last a while if I monitor everyone's use. Genset and 30 gallons of fuel. My math says probably 10 days. Reality...

Well. I am very happy with my purchase. We have had some wicked weather June 26th, June 28th and July 1st. 2 4-6 hr outages and a couple brown outs for an hour or so due to high winds, hail and...

Just checking. ALWAYS remove fuses to test continuity. Checking with the fuse in place may give you a false "OK".

The biggest advantage to using a common buss is everything comes to and from a common piont of reference. Everything can be calculated from that point. Master battery cables to buss have a voltage...

I would love to see a fully integrated system with a "midnite type" dashboard. Instead of all the extra +$200 +$300 hardware. Plug and play would be so lovely.
I do like the versatility of the...

Some FYI for what it's worth.
Flaring wellhead gas is a lot cheaper than pipelining, scrubbing, and networking back to the population. I have not heard it mentioned here as yet. Well head gasses...

Like Coot said, if you're depending on dependability of your batteries, spend the $4-8000 on a new set. If you're starting out, playing around and learning on the fly like myself, cheap is best. ...

Thanks for your interpretations.
I think I'll leave the low batt cut out at 22.5-23 volts. I wouldn't mind this set lasting me at least a few years. I'm running as a UPS/backup power only till I...

I recently acquired a used XW4024, midnite E-panel, and a set of 12 Enersys Powersafe 12v155f's(4 year old batteries in excellent condition). For the price I couldn't back away being a beginner and...

Finally got somewhere this AM. I was sure my math was right.
As stated prior, this is not a normal application. We DO have a sign on the outlet stating the maximum capacity. Unfortunately some rig...

Application. 1 KW transformer feeds a 500watt halogen light and some control circuitry/relays (2 amps surge @120 volt).
Where the problem arises is in the winter, these freaking guys see an outlet...

Not solar related at all.
Having a little battle with one of my electrical people. What I have is a 480 to 120 volt step down transformer rated at 1KVA.
480 volt input fuses should be 1000W /...

I've been mulling this over for a few years now.I still haven't broken ground, but soon I hope.
I am basically in the same boat/similar circumstances as you are. If you plan on 6KW on your roof,...

I'm feeling obligated to purchase from NAWS as this forum has helped me so much in the past 3 years with my preplanning. Any experience on import costs to Canada?
Thanks a bunch

OK. There is the reply I was looking for. Grid connected people of the world. You're screwed unless you manually disconnect. Transfer switch or not, your system will fry. Or did I misunderstand?
