Howie, Very high, rapidly fluctuating, DC currents are carried by battery cables. These produce powerful, local magnetic fields. Many sources recommend twisting the cables together to reduce RFI. I have found this twisting hard to do well. Steel conduit accomplishes the same thing, more effectively. Resist the temptation to put any other wiring in that conduit. This would most likely be a code violation in any case; wires of different voltage ratings in the same conduit are generally prohibited.
Dick Dick Ratico Solarwind Electric --- You wrote: Outback has now determined that somehow this induced current from the battery cables into the voltage sensing wires for the FNDC can cause the communication system to get overwhelmed, but they are not quite sure how. None-the-less, as of this week, they are recommending to run the FNDC voltage sensing wires (plus and minus) *not* along side the inverter cables. Hopefully, this is the end of this story... Has anyone experienced any similar symptoms? This seems a first for OB, but I thought I'd ask here. --- end of quote --- _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
