The relay to protect the generator only works when the generator is automatically started! A manually started generator has no protection against backfeed. I had to set up a contactor to protect the generator from backfeed from the AC coupled array. At 11:14 AM 5/13/2016, you wrote: BTW, the

BTW, the ROCB also uses both of your AUX relay options. Got called in to evaluate a 6 Radian AC Coupled configuration with no charger controllers and 6 Fronuis. What a cluster *%#%(^. The project was a very bad design from the beginning. That's what happens when you ask a grid tied installer to giv

William and Wrenches, The lack of room in the GSLC becomes much worse when using the factory installed AC coupling "solution" using the Remote Operated Circuit Breaker or ROCB. This takes up 3 breaker spaces plus puts two relays under the breaker column. I had to change out the ROCB twice in

Hi William, One easy upgrade would be the use of Arctic Ultra flex wire. It would put almost no stress on the breaker connections. I haven’t done this yet, but I plan on doing it for the next GSLC that I install. jay peltz power > On May 12, 2016, at 11:52 AM, William Miller wrote: >

Wrenches: The recent topic about bypass connections for the Radian is a very pertinent issue for anyone designing a Radian system. The problem is exacerbated by what I perceive is one poor design aspect of the GSLC cabinet. I generally like the Radian series, including the GSLC. I do find i
