Re: [RE-wrenches] SMA Sunny Island transfer relay sticking

I've had that happen on at least a few SIs many years ago. Never tried to clean them. SMA just replaced one under warranty after it ended up permanently stuck, and advised me to tap the others when they would occasionally stuck. Not very satisfying or helpful. I assume they didn't have any useful

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum Parts

Not sure about parts today, but I have heard from a reliable source that Magnum will be back in business after Sensata ran it into the ground. Moving production back to Washington state with many of the original employees and hopefully product to ship this summer. Kevin From: RE-wrenches On B

[RE-wrenches] SMA Sunny Island transfer relay sticking

Friends: I have a Sunny Island system that is intermittently experiencing a stuck transfer relay. Has anyone tried to clean these relay contacts or replace the relay? If so, what can you tell me about your experience? Thanks in advance. William Miller Miller Solar 17395 Oak Road, Ata

Re: [RE-wrenches] ATS models to bypass GT hybrid inverters for maintenance/faults

Stuart: Thank you for the follow up. Valuable information. A generator vendor just today proposed the use of an RDT unit to place between two generators and the input to an off-grid inverter/charger system. The idea is to have an automated means to start a secondary generator if the primary

HI All, I thought I’d share some details from OB that I got the other day. Maybe some or most of you know this but I didn’t. 1. there are 3 blue pots at the bottom of the controller. The lowest one is voltage adjustment. Set the calibration to 0, then adjust with that pot. It leaves the f

Many thanks again Mac and Wrenches, This is now put to bed with confirmation the only listed 200A ATS that will work without a 12V switching controller that I could find around the $1k mark is indeed the Kohler RDT series. (All currently manufactured Generac, Briggs & Stratton and Cummins ATS opti

Re: [RE-wrenches] Anybody play around with a Solaredge S1000 Key?

My understanding is it disables the safe voltage feature and the rsd capability.. I want to experiment with optimizers and charge controllers in a ground mount setting..not use it for jobs/rooftop installs.. On Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 7:10 AM scot.arey--- via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenc

Re: [RE-wrenches] Anybody play around with a Solaredge S1000 Key?

Interesting...would I consider converting some inverters over with DC optimizers on the roof? Maybe. Does the RSD capability remain operational? I guess that the essential question: have we taken a RSD device and turned it into simple optimizer? I know there will be million reasons to not do t

[RE-wrenches] Anybody play around with a Solaredge S1000 Key?

Thinking of ordering one from the UK. Curious if anyone has used one and what the limitations are regarding which optimizers it will work on. Appreciate any insights! Sunny Regards, Tyrone Houck Oregon Solarworks LLC LRT 76, CCB 204937 tyroneho...@gmail.com 541-787-1366 ___
