Hi all,
I was asked to go look at an off grid system, and it's got this Xantrex
Hybrid Inverter/Charger for a power panel. I haven't heard or seen of these
prior to this. Do any of you have experience with them? I believe it's a 48V
system.
Thanks in advance for any input on this odd ball.

Colorado Wrenches,
Anyone know of a good Kohler
Standby generator service tech.?
Also what would your estimated life span be for a 12RES in hours.
Is 4000 hours well past it. I think so.

Hi dave
I have used the power max, it works well.
Made by some ex Iota engineers if I have the correct info.

Alan and all,
FYI, Magnum makes a 24V version of the 120/240VAC inverter, the MS4024PAE.

If you can wait, Magnum Energy has a stand alone, power factor corrected
charger coming out. I've been bugging them for a couple years about it.
Otherwise we have sold hundreds of Iota's. A 3 stage charger (with IQ) and
voltage range can be adjusted internally. Not bad for the price.

I just looked into it. Yes there are other options, but none are even
close to the price point of the Iota. They are also super simple to
setup, get the new IQ4 option.
The only downside to the Iota, is they aren't that conducive to a NEC
install; you got to live with some exposed cabling, un
Wrenches,
I'm looking for a battery charger to augment an OutBack FX 2012
inverter/charger for a 12V off-grid system that could use shorter charging
times during our cloudy late fall/winter periods in northern Vermont. Both
the generator and the battery bank are amply sized as is the PV array.
Larry,
I didn't mention the MS4448PAE because Hilton had indicated that
he was dealing with a 24V system and that Magnum model is 48V.
I don't think that the issues I see with lights flickering in my
own home are related to either load or battery capacity.
Hi there Jesse,
I've found that the Rolls and Trojan battery books are pretty informative
and helpful for those new to batteries.
This is probably not exactly what you intended, but I read and really liked

Revolution, by Henry S

Magnum Energy also has a single 4400 VA model, the MS4448PAE, that operates
120/240 split phase. It can provide 8500 Watts for 5 seconds and 40 amps (line
to line) for 100ms. This might start the 3HP motor load assuming it is 240 volt
induction motor and not a capacitor start. Also assu
Hi Hilton,
In my experience the only way to know if it will work is to try it.
( it'll run it, but might not start it)
Because there are so many different quality motors out there all with similar
"ratings" but they don't work the same.
I've seen a 5hp completely trip off line a 15kw diesel gener
Hilton,
Kevin's comments are well taken. To add a bit:
Magnum are exceptionally easy to set up and program. The user
interface is well designed. A few issues to be aware of from my
experience:

Jesse,
'The Renewable Handbook' by William Kemp is a great resource for off-grid
living. There are a couple editions but any one of them makes a great read.
Also homepower.com and the solarpro website are packed with great articles.
