Dick Ratico Solarwind Elecric Hello wrenches, Yesterday, we converted a Whisper 200 over from 24V to 48V operation. We lowered the turbine and rewired it. We set the Dip switches in the controller (1 & 2 to off) and rewired the dump load as specified in the manual. For some reason, when we put the 55V battery voltage to the controller, it smoked it. We triple checked all of our connections and settings. Everything looks like the manual specifies. Luckily for us, we happen to have a spare Whisper controller that I can give this guy. If it was a fluke and the controller just had a bad component, fine, no problem. However, I'd like to know if I'm missing something about the 48VDC conversion before we smoke another one. Are there known issues, operating this controller at 48V? Any insights are appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
