Finding this application quite frustrating - Harris 120Vdc 1kW turbine, Classic
250, 48V batt., 1200W load dump. The manual downloaded just before purchase
stated: "This mode will NOT go to resting even when the input has been
disconnected and will always stay awake so the turbine has the least chance of
over-spinning." It now seems that this is not the case and this sentence is no
longer in the manual. My installer cannot get Midnite to confirm one way or the
other and they have been guessing for over a month on how to keep the CC from
going into RESTING that open circuits the hydro and puts the CC into hyperVOC
at 253V and will never reconnect. To complicate things there is also ~4kW of PV
on FM60's, when they drive up batt V. to above what the Classic wants it drops
into RESTING and back into HyperVoc. Midnite has been very responsive and have
suggested every possible setting and combination and my installer has made the
3 hour RT drive far too many times to only find the most recent "suggestion to
try" another approach not working. INSOMNIA does not do as the name implies and
still allows the CC to step out if external charging elevates the V above what
the Classic wants. i.e. FM60 in Bulk, Absorb or EQ. when the Classic wants to
Float. I fully realize that the Clipper will deal with this for a considerable
amount of money, but I've heard of several folks using a Classic or Outback w/o
a Clipper to deal with turbines w/o allowing freewheeling and runaway VOC. If
the turbine is not dropped by the Classic the VOC will never exceed 120Vdc. Is
there anyone of you out there that knows: 1) Is there a way to keep a Classic
from ever moving into RESTING, a true INSOMNIA? If it will not do as originally
stated in the manual I need someone to step up and say so, so we can stop
guessing and wasting time.2) If so what is the secret, please? I really like
all of Midnite's products and they are better than most with reasonable prices,
support has always been 1st rate. This application oddly seems to have all of
us at a loss pulling our hair out and losing money. With much appreciation for
all input.
