Folks,
A fellow wrench referred me to the Citel brand surge arrestors.
http://www.citelprotection.com/citel/SolarPV/pv_products.htm
They have several models for PV applications.
Does anyone have experience with these and where can I find them?
Thanks,
-Nik

Hi Peter,
Sales quotas that they needed to meet in order to keep the VC folks from
taking their company has made for some poor quality issues. That being said
their sales #s far exceeded their expectations $1.7 million of orders in
sept.
I'll be more then happy to forward some comments from one of my custom
Our local inspector defines metallic raceway as metal conduit without
preassembled conductors, such as FMC (greenfield) or EMT. MC is a cable
assembly and only allowed from the first point of disconnect onward.

Hello All -
I have a Grid tie proposal that included a SWWP Sky Stream Wind Generator that
I did back in June.
I have since heard varied reports on the inverters reliability.
Last report from a vender was very positive, SWWP had been very prompt in
dealing with the software issue.
I am inte
Hi Peter,
Hate to say this, but this is common in many battery based systems. Not the
problem you encountered specifically, but battery based systems are much
more complex and take a lot of time and energy in general. Numerous return
visits are the norm. Our lead tech has a lap top to download the
I have seen MC cable used for DC circuits and I don't think it meets the
requirements of 690.31(E) for a metallic raceway. I don't think the metal
cladding on MC cable qualifies as a raceway any more than the plastic
sheathing on romex does, but I've heard differing opinions on this. Last I
checked
Normally, I have good things to say about Xantrex and their GT and XW class
inverters. I personally replaced four GT units a while ago as they dealt
with their "capacitor" problem.
This post is about the XW product.
We installed a XW6048 with two charge controllers, a 4,200 W-dc PV array and
a 5

I understand that you're a respected industry veteran and all, but I don't
think it's appropriate for manufacturer's representatives to be telling the
rest of us on the list what we should be allowed to say. This list was started

On new construction, we like to run MC cable throughout the building shell,
from the PV modules to the inverter. We of course include a properly rated
DC disconnect before or just after penetrating the shell and use protection
plates when we run through studs. And we probably will need to add labe
Greg,
The 200W, 96 cell inverter is CSA listed to UL1741, and is on the CEC
list of eligible inverters. Obviously there are more products on the
way, but I'm not at liberty to discuss the details right now. We do
keep the website VERY up to date.
Your results are very much inline with our
Mark,
Some of your conjecture has been addressed by other wrenches in
subsequent posts. I do not think that this is the right forum for
further discussion of this kind. I believe this forum is intended for
technical and regulatory discussions. Is there a forum for
