[RE-wrenches] XW Pro and the spoiled stuff if the fridge

Hi All, I'm writing to ask if anyone else might have run into a similar situation. My customer came home to dead circuits after being out of town for several weeks. They are grid-tied and have a BBUS with an XW Pro. Their PV array is AC-coupled (Enphase IQ7+). When they arrived home all of the

Re: [RE-wrenches] OutBack inverter repair.

Hi Dave, I sent an out-of-warranty GVFX to Outback late last year. I'd personally replaced all three boards and still no joy. The repair cost was reasonable ~$450, but UPS was a steep way to ship it. -Matt On Wed, Apr 17, 2024 at 10:59 AM David Palumbo via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wr

Re: [RE-wrenches] Underground fault finder

Hi Drake, I've rented a set-up from my electrical supply house. I'd check to see if Scott Electric/Advantage Rental serves your part of Ohio. If memory serves, it is two pieces of equipment that you need. One to trace the line and a second to find the fault. -Matt On Tue, Apr 18, 2023 at 11:2

Hi Kris, I think you want the "shore power" to feed into a 240V load center on the tiny home. You might have to add this panel as part of the power inlet equipment. I'd feed the minisplit off this 240V panel and subfeed 120V to the AC IN on the inverter. In turn, the inverter can supply a load

[RE-wrenches] Li Replacements for Lead-acid Bank

Hello Wrenches, I've got customers with an ailing battery bank and I'm working to sketch out a replacement plan. I'd like to offer them a Li option, but they have a suite of older electronics and I'm writing to ask the list if anyone feels like they've settled on a Li brand that works well with p
