[RE-wrenches] Alternative to CT-104 Crimps

We do a lot of crimping bare copper fro bonding, and the NSI CT-104 copper C-taps for crimping #6->#6-#12 wire are just insanely priced. How are other doing irreversible crimps of bare copper? Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar ___ List sponsored by Home Power

[RE-wrenches] Morningstar MPPT charge controller

Wrenches The Morningstar Sure Sine inverter and MPPT charge controller sound like a good match considering the reliability of their products. But when I tried to use the CCs ability to act as a timer to turn on/off the Sure Sine via its remote on -off input terminals I found that the two are not c

Re: [RE-wrenches] Morningstar MPPT charge controller

I haven't done it but why can't you use a standard lighting photocell to turn on the inverter? There really is no current involved so the load shouldn't be a problem. I am assuming that you just want to turn on a light? Just a thought, Bob Ellison From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenc

Re: [RE-wrenches] Morningstar MPPT charge controller

I built a billboard lighting system with the Suresine inverter and LED flood lights. It is the only inverter that works in the extreme summer temperatures in Yuma, AZ. The PV controller is the Blue Sky Energy SB2512iX. It has an amazing programable lighting controller built in. You will need t

Re: [RE-wrenches] Small battery bank vs too large array

Hello Wrenches, Thanks for your help with this question. I've had a breakthrough on the design of this system. I talked with Tom at Midnight Solar, and he explained that Concord batteries can be charged at C X 5 if necessary, i.e., 5 X AH capacity of the bank. The batteries like a fast cha

Re: [RE-wrenches] Small battery bank vs too large array

Drake, The ability to charge at much higher amperage is typical of all AGM batteries. The recombinant technology does not produce much heat before the internal resistance rises and the current naturally drops. AGM's require up to 20% less energy to recharge as very little is wasted as heat.

We used an Omron G2R-1-S-DC12S available from mouser.com. Don't forget to get the DIN socket as well. I think that is a P2RF-05-E. Good luck Maverick _ From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Solarguy Sent: Thursd
