Jay,

Do you use an NO or NC solid state relay?

Hi Mark,

Then the relay method is easy and reliable to use.

Relay trips at whatever battery voltage you don’t want to exceed.

I use a solid state relay with a good heat sink, only switching one leg.

Hi Mark

Is this off grid or on?

I see.

What you say about the frequency shift being slow makes me again doubt the value of even using it in my application.

I have a controller that can regulate the AC dump load. That same controller has a high limit switch which I could use to cut the AC feed to the GT inverters. But then both functions are in the same device. On the other hand, it is a very reliable device so....perhaps sufficient.

I have a relay on the XW+ Aux and also frequency shift which is usually slower, so the relay usually cuts out first. I also have a DC coupled array feeding the system.

    Yes an elite group within an elite group.

    So the SB240 does not have frequency shift /wattage control.
    How are you implementing charge control in stand alone mode?

    Wow! Someone else with SMA SB240's, I have 12 of them that
    I've AC coupled to an XW+5548. They are very solid performers.

        Hello,

        I have a small array of 8 - SMA SB240 microinverters on
        the roof. Peak
        power out of the array has never exceeded 1800 W.

        I am adding a Magnum MS-PAE 4448 with a 315 AH flooded
        Lead Calcium
        battery bank.

        Cheers
