Re: [RE-wrenches] Combining Enphase M190 and M215 on same circuit

Hi Jason,

 

We have paralleled M190 with M215 and have had no comm issues.yet.  Enphase
gave their blessing as well.

Perfect. That's what I thought. No comments on the comm issue, so I assume
there is no issue.

Hi Jason, 

You can do that, but will need to maintain the 15A limit of the M190s.  For
a single-phase, 240V application, with 3 M190s (3*0.8A = 2.4A,) you can
install up to 10 M215s.

change the fuse rating.  

 

Any comm issues reported with this setup?

2013-05-19 Thread Kent Osterberg 

Jason,

The M190 requires using a 15-amp (maximum) branch circuit. As long as 
the total current from both types of inverters doesn't exceed 12 amps 
(80% of 15), there should not be a problem in mixing the inverters. The 
combination you are proposing is only 8.6 amps -- it should be fine.
