Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

My students we just today complaining about the access to wires on the panel mount breakers. The lug idea with separators might be a fix. It definitely needs to be done differently. In class We added another inverter to our package and trying to install another 175A breaker was a pain. We have a

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

This thread actually brings up issues I've struggled with for years too. QOs are really not good for over 50 v. The panel mount QOUs are really expensive and special order. I believe they're only good to 125 vdc, so that not much help with higher voltage arrays. There are much better breakers

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

Hello William, How about using an Outback Flexware 500/1000 AC circuit breaker box with DC rated DIN rail mounted breakers? The Main breaker might need to live in the GSLC though….. Best, Jason Lerner Waldron Power and Light Co. > On Oct 10, 2016, at 2:55 PM, William Miller wrote: > > Fri

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

Jerry, I don't think that QOs or QOUs would work. I believe that all are rated only to 50V DC, unless that longtime dual rating has recently changed. As the Radian is only available in 48V, any DC conductors would exceed this. Allan *Allan Sindelar* al...@sindelarsolar.com

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

You might want to look at the square D QO breaker line some are dc rated and voltage rated and are panel mounted. Jerry On Oct 10, 2016 3:00 PM, "jay" wrote: > I”ll chime in here. > > Yes the GSLC is a piece of junk. > However it is UL listed for the job. And while you could put together > somet

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

I”ll chime in here. Yes the GSLC is a piece of junk. However it is UL listed for the job. And while you could put together something that would work with Airpax breakers together, but it wouldn’t be UL. What I do is to swap out all the wires to Arctic ultra flex. This allows much better move

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

Chris: Thank you for the reply. I think you misunderstand me. We always use the GSLC cabinets. I just don’t like the design concept that clutters the cabinet with AC and DC breakers that are difficult to access and block other components. See photo below of a prewired GSLC Cabinet we were as

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

The GSLC gives the system a nice finished appearance that the customer will understand. Suck it up and live with the imperfect world we function in. On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 5:55 PM, William Miller wrote: > Friends: > > > > I am looking for a PV recombiner. I need to accept the outputs from 3 >

[RE-wrenches] PV Recombiner

Friends: I am looking for a PV recombiner. I need to accept the outputs from 3 remote PV Combiners, send those outputs through GFP circuit breakers, into charge controllers, back thorough breaker, into a bus bar, through a main breaker and onto a large battery bank. I am using 2 Outback Radi
