Re: [RE-wrenches] Onboard PV Charging Kit for Electric Vehicle

I've been happy with Victron charge controller / inverter equipment, they seem to be very popular in the RV space. Here is a potential 3000 VA inverter model that might work, other sizes and configurations are available as well: https://www.victronenergy.com/inverters-chargers/multiplus-ii#downloa

[RE-wrenches] Frequency converter?

Hey folks: A would-be customer is building a home in the Caribbean, where they utilize 230V, 50 hz. But he cannot find the appliances he wants in that voltage & hertz range; is there some large frequency converter that he can hook to their (230V 50hz) grid that’ll convert it to 120/240V 60 hz

For those wondering about the battery pack, it was pulled from a Nissan Leaf—nominal voltage is 360 Vdc. So I don't believe it will be possible to charge the EV battery directly from the PV (or from the 'off-grid' battery bank). It is understood that there will be some not-insignificant efficiency

Hello Wrenches, I have an inspector who doesn't like my heavy duty square D disconnect loaded with 20A Littelfuse FLSR RK5 Littelfuses for use as a OCPD and disconnect on a PV circuit. I am operating below the 300Vdc rating for this fuse but I'm having trouble finding documentation that states th

My first question is the voltage of the truck’s battery pack. If it’s below the 118V of the array you should charge the pack directly with just a charge controller to minimize losses. There is absolutely no reason to add another battery pack separate from the drive pack. The drive pack is undo

Hi Cory What a beautiful truck. Would like to see the video of the solar extending My question, is it possible to go direct to the EV battery? he/she just wants to charge the ev right directly off the panels? And what voltage is the main battery. Jay > On Oct 5, 2022, at 1:01 AM, Corey Shal
