Re: [RE-wrenches] Microhydro and L-ion

Hi Jerry, Can you give details on the Blue Ion BMU relay? We recently installed one and I would really like a relay to start the generator, based on what the BMU SOC is? I asked Blue Ion about this but they said it wasn't available? What model are you talking about? Thanks On Mon, Dec 10, 201

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum inverter issue

I had a PAE 4024 run high voltage so that it wouldn't AC couple at all. My older PAE does not fluctuate. At 08:14 PM 12/12/2018, you wrote: Hi all, I’ve had the following issue with a new PAE 4024. It’s ac voltage will rise and fall about 10+ volts ( 124-115) over about 10 seconds like cl

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum inverter issue

Jay,I have not seen this, yet.If you go into the Magnums remote and look at AC meter does the meter reflect what your are seeing on your volt meter?(I am guessing that you see this on your volt meter)If this is a "AC coupling feature" then the user should be able to enable this for AC coupling and

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum inverter issue

I've got quite a few Magnum PAEs installed and have not seen this before.  I have one I'm about to install, so I just bench tested it and I did see the fluctuation.  It was cycling from 116vac to 122 vac about every 5 seconds.  As far as Magnum claiming this is "Normal" off grid operation, well

[RE-wrenches] Remote Activation

Wrenches, A good friend and fellow Wrench here at the List turned me on to a exterior fire sprinkler system called W.E.E.D.S, or wind enabled ember dousing system. I’m totally on board was hoping someone with up to date IT/SCADA/M2M knowledge could advise me on how best to activate a solenoid

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum inverter issue

Just got off the phone with Magnum tech support.  Their stance: 1) The fluctuation is within the 5% allowable voltage window. (True, but still annoying, atypical 120 vac behavior) 2) They haven't changed anything, the inverters have always regulated voltage this way.. I replied that I've never

[RE-wrenches] Interesting gen start problem

Friends: While I’d like to think I have seen everything, I came across this scenario recently that surprised me: We replace an existing FX system that had a generator component. Since the FX inverter can only provide 12 volts for generator start, and we did not see a relay in the power room

Re: [RE-wrenches] Microhydro and L-ion

I do not get how going into an LFP battery is any different than a LA for a dump load? In the LFP, overcharging will shut down the battery BMS and loss of inverter power. In LA, overcharging will ruin the battery over time unless hi battery cut-out is set. It will then shut down the inverter

Re: [RE-wrenches] Magnum inverter issue

Hi Louis Again, magnum admitted to the issue, gave no fix. I checked with RE-Wrenches as someone might have figured a work around. Jay > On Dec 12, 2018, at 8:11 PM, > wrote: > > Jay, > > I have not seen this, yet. > If you go into the Magnums remote and look at AC meter does the meter r
