Friends:
I have occasion to try the FM100 charge controller. I am wondering of anyone had found any quirks with implementing this device. I have a few specific questions: 1. I want to avoid AFCI unless mandated. Will this be defeated if I don’t run the leads through the sense coil? (There is an AFCI and non-AFCI version but I can’t seem to find the non-AFCI version anywhere.) 2. I noticed the manual indicates you are not supposed to mix the FM100 with the FM80 or 60 in the same battery system. This negates it for one project I had in mind. I am curious as to why this is. Anyone know? 3. Will the FM100 work with a standard hub? 4. I suppose this unit requires a 125 amp breaker. If the PV array cannot support that full 100 amps I might down-size the OCPD accordingly. Anyone contemplate this question? Thanks in advance. William
