Equalization voltage is how we have interpreted this. It clearly does not say nominal. -Original Message- From: Bob Clark bcl...@solar-wind.us Sent: ‎6/‎10/‎2013 23:08 To: 'RE-Wrenches' re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Subject: [RE-wrenches] NEC 690.55 - maximum operating voltage

Hi Bob, I would rather it be worded maximum normal operating voltage. Maximum operating voltage would be the recommended BULK voltage for the battery type being utilized. Equalization is a maintenance procedure, which is why it calls for separate listing. It must also include polarity of

This seems like another well meaning but slightly awkward code requirement. I think it would be sufficient to list the nominal battery voltage (very important to know) and then the actual variation in voltage is not going to be too hard to comprehend. Knowing array Voc is also very important.

[RE-wrenches] Thermal imaging

2013-06-11 Thread Andrew Truitt
Wrenches - I am considering the purchase of a thermal imaging camera for PV system commissioning applications. Prices seem to range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Primary manufacturers seem to be Fluke and Flir, with Extech, Ideal and Milwaukee offering a few products as well. It seems to me that the
