Anyone else having problems with Midnight Classics Flaming out (Literally)? We know they don't play nice with Tigo Optimizers. Wondering if a Midnight SPD might also look like a short to a classic when it clamps. only affected two of the four controllers. Two seemed to be un affected, one tripped o
The Sunny Island has circuitry to protect itself over 56 amps. I think
it shuts off.
The 60 amp circuit breaker is there to protect the wiring. Customers
complain when they cannot
get the full 56 amps from the system and 50 amps is the next nominal
current breaker below 60 A.
Thanks,

The SPD will (or, should), "clamp" the input voltages, both positive and
negative to ground at the
MOV voltage rating during a lightning strike. The SPD 300 starts at
about 500 volts on each leg
of the SPD. The 600 SPD is higher voltage of course. Since, on the PV
input side, the MOVs

Thanks for the clarification boB.
I would still however like to get confirmation from that the Sunny Island
does indeed protect itself from AC current over 56A. It says nothing to
this effect in the literature (at least that I can find), and would seem to
contradict the “Higher input currents mu
In addition, an SPD is supposed to keep any input lines to the equipment
from breaking over
the insulation. For the Classic, the hipot voltage is over 2000 volts
to chassis (gnd).
If the SPDs are grounded and connected well they should be able to do
their job unless maybe
it is a direct s
I'll let Robin weigh in here as well...
Brian, It used to be very clear on the older 5048 Sunny Island. They
wanted a 70 amp breaker connected to the input. They were assuming a
thermal breaker. 70 times .8 = 56. We use hydraulic/magnetic breakers.
They only go up to 60 amps and can be ran at
