I've had good luck with both the SureSine from Morningstar and Exeltech for inverters. Couldn't tell you the noise output. Also, you may want to try Solar Converters Inc, or Samlex for DC to DC converters. Mike Kocsmiersky Principal Phone: 413 883-3144 Spirit Solar www.SpiritSolar.net

Hi william Solar converters make voltage adjustable power supplies. Their website was down for some reason. But I found this that should help for your information. https://www.altestore.com/store/voltage-converters/dc-to-dc-voltage-converters/constant-voltage-regulator/up-converter-constant-v

William, Over the years I have discovered that many published voltage specifications for equipment, like SCADA radios for example, are nominal voltages but actually can be powered from a broad range of voltages The internal PS circuit handles delivering the correct voltage. 30 volts is an odd s

Ray; I've even had problems with Magnums and Outbacks not working with certain GFCI outlets.I usually just avoid installing GFCIs in tiny, remote off-grid systems designed for a specialty application with no electrical inspector involved or required. GFCIs cause all kinds of mischief with equipment

Wrenches Well i agree with every one, tha Samlex is great, morning atar charge controllers again grean, and the question about the operating volts also great, l have done stuff very close and the battery volts may have a wide range Jerry On Mar 28, 2016 12:47 PM, "Ray Walters" wrote: > What about

What about building a 30 vdc system (5 x 6v batteries in series) and adjust the settings on a Midnite Classic to work with that? How tight does the 30 vdc output need to be? On inverters, I've had trouble with the Suresine, basically not working with GFCI outlets. I keep trying different mod

Hi William; 30VDC is kind of odd, but 36VDC is common. The folks at Solar Converters might be able to fix you up with a custom one, or perhaps 36V is within the sat unit's input range. As for the inverter, I've never gone wrong with the Morningstar SureSine. Slick little unit. Dan Fink Adjunct Pro

Two choices 1. Samlex DC-DC converter. I've used the 12V version with success. Here is a fancy 24V version. Running the loads directly. http://www.samlexamerica.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=181 2. Morningstar SunSaver MPPT 15L charge controller charging the 24V battery bank. Thank yo

Friends: I am designing a satellite data interface for a large off-grid system for a state highway department facility. We will be using the Outback Optics data capabilities along with equipment manufactured by Control by Web. I’d like to run the satellite system on a battery power source so
