Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum System - Discharged Battery Bank

I would suggest that you totally discharge the "reversed polarity" batteries and connect them to a good charged battery they will recover their polarity and once their memory has been restored they will happily take a charge. With a completely dead battery, it is quite easy to get the battery ba

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum System - Discharged Battery Bank

Both the BMK and the RTR (which I've been told is a more sophisticated version of the ARC) are installed on this system. We were not immediately able to access the fault history because of the low voltage situation. On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 8:14 PM, wrote:Send > > > Good point on the battery mon

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum System - Discharged Battery Bank

The only circuits that are connected to the batteries - other than (2) MS4448PAE inverters - are the BMK and the SS relay (switching grid-tied inverter output circuit). On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 4:51 PM, wrote: > > > Might there be something like that loading the batteries when nobody is > looking

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum System - Discharged Battery Bank

I second tump. Most likely a bad /cell battery took out the system. As these are VRLA batteries, I'm curious do,the cases look damaged such as expanded or sunk in? Jay Peltz power > On Dec 18, 2014, at 7:08 AM, Corey Shalanski > wrote: > > The only circuits that are connected to the ba

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum System - Discharged Battery Bank

One issue I see is that a 4.4 kW inverter is being fed 7 kW. I don't know if this would account for all you are seeing. Could the Magnum could be shutting down on overcurrent? At 09:27 PM 12/16/2014, you wrote: Wrenches, I visited a customer today whose grid-tied battery backup system suffe

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum System - Discharged Battery Bank

It's 4.4 (x2) I parallel so should be ok. Usually if the battery based inverter is too small the SB would "push" the voltage around until the SB disconnects. Gary Baxter Product Manager Magnum/Dimensions On Dec 18, 2014, at 9:52 AM, Drake mailto:drake.chamber...@redwoodalliance.org>> wrote: O

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum System - Discharged Battery Bank

For anyone still following this thread: - Contrary to the manufacturer's claim I just confirmed that it is in fact 100% possible to measure 240Vac across the contacts of this single-pole relay *when it is switched off*. This is due to voltage sense pass-through at the grid-tied inverter's output te
