Mac:

 

I will review the data.  Thanks!

William, 
As far as I understand, the communication is supposed to take away the need for 
frequency shift. Have you pulled the data off of the Sim card and looked for 
frequency shift?

Friends:

 

A Sunny Island mini-grid system I am maintaining also does not play nice with a 
UPS unit.  So much so that the system reportedly fried a Furman UPS unit 
yesterday!  

 

This should not be!  The UPS unit is supposed to protect downstream equipment 
and should be able to protect itself as well.  

 

I need to rent some high quality power monitoring equipment to monitor voltage, 
frequency and distortion.  I need one three phase unit in the power building 
and I need something more compact for the AV equipment room.  Does anyone have 
a recommendation for models that might work in this scenario?

 

The thought occurred to me that the system by which the Sunny Island varies 
line frequency may be problematic for sensitive electronics.  I have connected 
the Sunny Island master to the Sunny Boys with RS485 and programmed the Sunny 
Boys for off-grid.  Can this allow the two systems to communicate to regulate 
PV charge without relying on frequency shifting?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

William
