Re: [RE-wrenches] Enphase and Smart? phone

I've done it twice without a smart phone or tool kit. Both times, Enphase tech support walked me though it. The second time it went smoothly. It takes an ethernet cable from a laptop to the Envoy. It really is fairly straight forward if it goes the way it should, which may or may not be the ca

Greetings, Wrenchies~ Sorry to add noise to the List but I messed up sending the images yesterday. First attached .png image is from page 2-9 from Schneider's Conext-XW-Multi-Unit-Power-System-Design-Guide-975-0739- 01-01_Rev-C_ENG.pdf Additional details would be welcomed from the group, if avail

Re: [RE-wrenches] sizing up equipment ground per NEC 690.45

2017-10-17 Thread Dave Tedeyan
Hi August, We have understood that exception to apply only to the DC side. The inverter output circuit would fall into typical ground sizing requirements which do state that the EGC should be upsized proportionally to the other conductors that are upsized for a voltage drop. Cheers, Dave *--*

Once again, the '/Definitions/' Geek leers his ugly head. 690.45 specifically applies to /PV Source/ and /PV Output/ /Circuit/s only.  Checking the definitions in 690.2, both are defined as DC and before the inverter.  In your case, the circuit is defined as an /Inverter Output Circuit/. You

[RE-wrenches] "Sharks tooth" charging profile with LG RESU battery and SolarEdge

We have installed several LG Resu10H batteries with Solar Edge StorEdge. One just happened to be my house. I have an eGauge system ay my home so I'm seeing what others might not be and that is an odd "sharks tooth" solar production curve. These have been bluebird clear solar days in Texas b

Corey, Here's my interpretation. If anyone can point out where I am in error, I would appreciate it if you could correct me. I just quickly reviewed 705.12(D)(2) and it appears that neither of your sizing calculations are quite right. Bear in mind that the maximum current of the inverters is d

I have! It was with the RESU10 and not the 10H. It took some time for me to convince the Engineers i was working with that this was an issue. They called it micro-cycling and I called it not typical for an offgrid battery system and possibly wearing the battery for no reason. They did fix it and I
