[RE-wrenches] DPW rack adjustment

2020-10-15 Thread Jeremy Rodriguez
Does anyone have any trick to adjusting the tilt angle of the TPM4 pole mounts? These are the racks with the aluminum beam (strongback) with slots for the bolts. We have tried anti seize, and cutting the heads of the bolts square in attempts to help with adjustment. Help! Jeremy Rodriguez Sol

Hi Jeremy, I’ve not run into that issue but you could put more bolts at different locations for different tilts. A template would keep them the correct spacing. Wouldn’t slide but would be adjustable. I don’t know if you’ve tried heat but it’s pretty amazing at getting things loosened up.

With help and a site visit from Adam of Enphase tech support this Ensemble system was successfully brought through commissioning. We had to do a battery black start after it discharged over the weekend. However, functional testing brought up another issue-- in off grid mode the well pump consistent

Wrenches I don't think enphase has any real surge capability at all, also there is a inverter response time, (how fast the inverter ramps in up in ms) and you need to confirm it will start both during the day and at night to see if it can drive through. Jerry On Thu, Oct 15, 2020, 11:02 AM wrote

I'd suggest reaching out to Travis at MT Solar as he has made custom manual adjusters for my old installed DPW pole mounts. No bolts to remove and easy for anyone to adjust the angle without the need of a ladder. Christopher On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 10:25 AM Jay wrote: > Hi Jeremy, > > I’ve not

[RE-wrenches] Enphase noise interference to reporting; use ferrites

We have a 53 IQ7 microinverter system on new-build construction that reported and performed just great until the homeowner (a custom builder, and one I'm trying not to unimpress!) moved in Sept 1 at which point reporting went wonkers with inconsistent data, perceived underperformance that seemed to

I don't agree with this advice about the ferrite rings. Put the ferrite rings on the Enphase combined inverter output circuit from the AC combiner to the point of interconnection. That filters out all noise from all sources. I can be a pain with larger conductor sizes if you have to loop the conduc

I’ve found that using brass nuts work well and don’t seize on the SS bolt. Just be sure to use a lock washer. It’s not like you need a lot of clamping force, the bolt is in pure shear so brass is fine. Jeremy Coxon NABCEP Certified MWBE Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 15, 2020, at 9:52 AM, Jere

Chris... I'm intrigued by the custom adjusters from MT. What about the issue of loosening and retorqueing the 350 ftlb main pivot bolt? On Thu, Oct 15, 2020, 1:50 PM Chris Schaefer wrote: > I'd suggest reaching out to Travis at MT Solar as he has made custom > manual adjusters for my old instal

Wrenches Noise in the AC circuits and Enphase is nothing new, when they adapted the new frequency this was in part to get away from the noise so it sounds like they still have a problem. I have seen a variety of new products effect the data stream. Jerry On Thu, Oct 15, 2020, 2:37 PM wrote: > We

Hi Don I’m pretty sure the only option for a vfd is a 3 phase motor on that pump. The advantage would be complete adjustability as to how fast/slow it starts. Another option would be the Grundfos sq pump which is a soft start pump. It’s not going to be adjustable. But I’d like to know if th
