Personally, I wouldn't want marketing people to read the NEC unless all
of our customers were reading the NEC, too. The reality is, when talking
to customers, a module is called a panel. When talking to you, a module
is a module. In customer speak, panel is to module as features are to
Hi Joel,
Interesting applications.
I'm not trying to be pedantic but (in the '93 application) did you mean the
module was seeing the flame and keeping the _gas valve_ open? Do I understand
correctly that it was capable of keeping the electromagnet energized on only
pilot flame? Essentially
Friends:
We were repairing an install yesterday that contained a group of Trojan
L-16 batteries. To our surprise, two of the threaded studs pulled out of
the battery cases. The studs are really just standard machine bolts with
the heads pressed into a socket. I have never seen this before.
Not really wrench talk, but as long as you guys are talking about one
of my pet peeves...
I think the phrase solar panel is what editors would call a
skunked term -- abused and confused so much that it's better to not
use it. It's not understood by many audiences in many situations;
it's
William,
If the connections were not tight enough heat could have built up to melt the
bolt mount. It is not all that uncommon and confirms the importance of properly
torqueing all connections.

Hi all
I have charged 72 volts on a golf cart type deal, with 2 each morningstar T60
and with 2 each MX 60s But Appolo may work or Classic
the trick is only use the charging function do not connect any communication
cables Grounding is the problem. as one of the controllers is floating.
Wrenches,
We often use a conventional 100A meter base and analog meter as an
independent metering system for inverter output. These meters
typically have a minimum conductor size of #6 AWG. For smaller
systems the inverter output conductors are smaller than #6 AWG. We
have upsized the
Try this, Carl~
Strip about 1.5 off the end of your skinny stranded wire then fold it in
thirds before
inserting it into the compression lug. It's still only one wire in case
anyone should ask,
but your inspector may balk. Try it and see as this would depend on the
inspector's
particular mindset.
Try using ferrules:

Strip the wire and insert into the ferrule, crimp with terminal crimper and
then insert into the larger lug.
Good luck,

Hi Carl,
We use Cooper B-Line meter bases for this application. The 100A meter
base terminals are good from #14AWG to 2/0AWG. Check out

Carl,
You won't find the lugs being any different than the models that aren't
listed for small wire, but using a meter base listed for the right wire
is best.
The Murray/Siemens 135-amp meter bases are listed for 14 AWG to 2/0
