Hey Dave,
We have 4 of these left over from a job earlier in the year. Do you still
have need for these? Sorry for the delayed response.
Hope you are well,
Howie

Mac,
Try Paul Mattaliano , paul.mattali...@exide.com. When I asked him about
using two parallel strings of that same 100A33 battery configuration at 48V,
he told me this: "C100 rating of 100G33 is 2100 so 2 parallel strings is
4200. 5%=210A.
Since their 300A charging current exceeds 5%, recommend
Hello wrenches,
Does anyone have a good technical contact at GNB? Specifically, I am
looking for good charging setpoints for the Absolyte IIP Type 100A33.
Oddly, on all the spec sheets I've found they call this a 6V battery,
however these are 2V batteries.
Thanks

I just bid against them here in Northern MN. I saw BP modules, I had heard BP
was leaving the residential market.

Agreed. The intent of the change to 690.64(B) in NEC 2008 was not to
restrict the use of a dedicated inverter aggregation subpanel for
amp-shaving purposed (meaning the panel is being used to reduce the PV CB
size ultimately used for 120% rule calculations). The intent was to clarify
the that there
OK, this subject has come up before and this is a gray area in the Code.
What is the definition of "the output of the inverters."
I have sucessfully argued that the output of the inverters is the last point
in the circuit where the circuit is free of premise load circuits. In this
case it would b
See NEC 250.52.
If there is 10 feet of pipe in the ground, that qualifies as a
grounding electrode. The foundation rebar qualifies as a grounding
electrode too, but it must have a length of at least 20 feet. If using
multiple pieces to get 20 feet they must be bonded (or simply wired)
together
I understand what you are saying about the 40A breaker, but according to
690.64(B)(2), "...with panelboards connected in series, the rating of
the *first* overcurrent device connected *directly* to the output of the
inverters shall be used in the calculations for *all* busbars and
conductors." The
Jason:
SB 5000 = 21A @ 240V, 21A x 1.25 = 26.3A needs 30A breaker
M215 = 0.9 A @ 240V, 0.9A x 9 = 8.1 A, 8.1 x 1.25 = 10.1A needs 15A breaker.
(Or that rounded to 10A and use a 10A breaker)?
26.3A + 10.1A = 36.4 A needs 40A breaker
So, get a new 100A main lug subpanel. Connect it to a 40A bre
Does anyone know if it is ok to use the rebar in a pole mount foundation as a

That's not a bad idea, except that 690.64(B)(2) requires that the
breaker directly connected to each inverter(s) must be used for the
calculation.
I have an existing SB5000 with a 30A breaker and a new string of nine
Enphase M215's requiring a 15A breaker. If you combine these in a 100A

Maybe you can put in a smaller main breaker?

How about feeding both systems into an AC combining subpanel before feeding
the main load center?
Often the calculations required will allow you to do more backfeeding than
the simple backfeeding a load center with individual breakers.

HD hires local contractors to install their systems. I've worked for a
couple of quality-oriented companies that have explored this relationship
but both determined that the margins were just too thin.

Fellow Wrenchers,
What's folks favorite Propane Gen line in the 30 KW range for off-grid
backup?
SMA has limited exposure to larger generators for the SI for approval to

Anybody out there know which SI's in the 30 KW range that the SI likes?
Thanks!

We've been contracted to add on to an existing PV system in a residence.
The existing system has a 30A 2P Breaker on a 200A rated panel with a
200A main breaker. The new system would require a 15A breaker, which
would exceed the limit in NEC 690.64(B)(2).
The existing system has a fusible AC di
We were recently asked to fix a royal mess by a SDHW installer
contracted via Home Depot. Not fun. 60+ systems with various
deficiencies. The installer was to blame, not HD.
HD is not selling PV in our market (fortunately).
