Friends:
I looked at the Solarmount web site and I don't think the product complies--
the wire management leaves leads exposed. It's a nice start, however.
I was asked by Homepower to do an article on wire management. I was
flattered they'd ask, but I had to decline because there is so few opti
I think that someone on this list recommended Solar Scrim a while back
to make the conductors no longer readily accessible after they're
supported; two options, depending on how picky the QA inspector is.

Have you looked in to racking made by US Solarmounts in WI?

Their ground mounts are pretty nice and offer actual conductor protection.
I've never used them, but I've seen them at the MREA in WI. Nice product.

Hi Dan;
I, like Larry, must be amazingly lucky then, because we've solved power
quality issues for many years with 50mf caps. Usually, its been front
loading washers not running on Trace SW inverters, but also Grundfos CP
pumps, too. Never had a problem, and some of these have been running

Be careful about connecting *any* capacitors across an inverter's AC output.
It's not a smart thing to do.
While a capacitor may help in some cases when a load has a substantially poor
power factor due to significant inductance, there are two serious concerns here:
1. The power fac
Hi William,
If you recall a couple years ago we had some discussion here about a problem
with a specific make appliance being powered by a Magnum inverter. The problem,
it was discovered, was the appliance input PF was creating current demands that
the transformer based inverter could not keep
A Sunny Island that switches to and from grid power probably does not
transfer smoothly enough to protect sensitive equipment, but if it is
online all the time, using solar to charge the batteries, I would not
bother with a UPS.

Can you get the specs on the UPS, as far as tolerances and ranges? Maybe
check with the manufacturer of the UPS as far as being able to reprogram the
bugger to be, shall we say, less sensitive. I know that there's a lot that
can be done as far as being able to reprogram inverter parameters. (Boy
perhaps i am not understanding the set-up, but why feed a ups with a ups?
doesnt the sunny island already provide ups capabilities for the loads

If the SI system has enough reserve, run it totally off-grid with the grid
as backup. Then they will never see any transitions.

I recently worked on a Sunny Island/Sunny Boy system in a nearby island,

Hi William,
Power quality, in your case, refers to how close to 60 Hz (frequency
component), 120/240 VAC RMS (amplitude component) your voltage waveform
is. Every waveform is the superposition of different frequencies,
amplitudes etc. Power quality requirements for a devices input or output
are
I have in the past have used the Fluke power logger 1735 , It will monitor 1/3
phases voltages spikes/dips in V, A, Hz , +++ AND one is able to print out a
time line of all the "occurrences" that may trip the UPS. I rent this from some
folks in Texas quite reasonable ~ $230/month or weekly too.
