We have found fire raptor better suited for our roof mounted off grid or
back up systems what modules are you specing and what inverter Solark or
Outback. I have seen arc fault shut down the CC on the OB and inverter on
the Solark, none of the faulted systems had Fire Raptor used but beware
I have seen repeat melting and freezing rip the frames from the modules,
granted these modules were not sealed or glued in. But just consider if
water can get in a rail and freeze then any extruded frames with inclosed
channels can be effected. Option is to drill the boxed channel to promote
drain

You may have dodged a bullet with fronius, personally l have not had a good
experience with them, yes going back to the beginning with the IG's, put
the word out for SMA -41's they are not easy to get but are programable.
Just have to ask is there a particular reason why you are goin
Jeremy, wrenches
It's been some time since as they don't pencil very well, where are you
seeing the leakage, case top or elsewhere

I must agree with Ray, that inverter was never intended to run the slew of
electronics we have now. There are gadgets out on the market that may do
what you want but the reliability is in question. Does this site have a
genny? Using the that may get you past the issue but not solving the
problem.
Jay, wrenches
ASCO makes multiple ATS controls that can manage delays latching up and for
cool down. Most of the gensets have are programmed cool down after relay
opens so its not an issue. Generally on start up the genny connects as soon
as it's voltage and freq are within range.

I am familiar with Franklin and when I asked them about the battery they
had all the answers but when I asked about the AC coupled inverter inside,
mainly who made it is it field serviceable I got deer in the headlights and
a few weeks later I asked them the same thing and again no
William, Wrenches
Yes I do and it does require some basic electronics to make it work
correctly, you will need to remove the ttemp sender and make a
resistor pack to simulate the 77 degree reading otherwise it will not
charge properly, for the first one I used a breadboard to set the temp for

We had wind lift issues so that will effect your installation. I have used
the current Nuance product and prior to that the same manufacturer under a
different name. Its more than just driving the rods down we had to do a
pull out test. We used hydrolic drivers attacked to the rack due to the

I have always used 50 miles per hr as this works well, sure the 3600 rpm
unit runs faster but 2000 hrs is 10 miles and unless you have a prime
mover that's about right. I see many with well over 10,000 hrs. Had one
last week do 1000 hrs in a month.
