the 2:1 transformer also offers ac isolation. im not so sure id want the hot
line of 120vac, via a diode, on the dc part of a system.
this configuration (known as the "DT Kludge") was a common (and expensive)
workaround for outback fx series inverters which unfortunately only had one ac
input
HI Jerry,
Just a standard bridge rectifier, with correct amp rating.
AC to diode to CC, thats it.
All regulation is via CC.

Very interesting, what diodes did you use to rectify the AC, it sounds
similar to the wind machine designs I have worked with. Do you use a coil
to regulate the AC amps to the diodes, it seams like you would need a
"throttle control" the current someway besides the diodes them selves or
the CC.

Hi Kirk,
If you use a 200vdc midnight CC you'll have no issues.
When you rectify 120vac its up around 166vdc
( uses the peak vac which is around 170vac.)
For a 150vdc max controller ( midnite 150) or a 144vdc ( outback FM) then a
buck transformer or standard transformer is the trick to reduce t
My challenge is determining the correct 480V configuration so I can use a
3-phase Solar Edge 1 for a 12KW commercial system. The SE10K requires a
480V Wye configuration.
The main 480 panel looks straightforward. L1, L2, L3 come from below grade
to three separate busbars in the panel. A 4
Larry,
I have not found a battery charger nearly as programmable as the chargers
in inverters are, and I've sold a number of inverters over the years which
were destined to be used strictly as battery chargers.
This is actually a great use for modified-square-wave inverters. The
Magnum RD2212 has
This has been discussed on this list in years past. It is possible to use an
outback charge controller as a battery charger. You need to put the 120 AC into
a bridge rectifier, then feed the 120 DC into the controller’s PV input. So
you’ll have an 80 amp battery charger.

You can manually adjust Iotas with tweaking the potentiomiters while
monitoring it with a god volt meter. But no time adjustment.

Wrenches,
Does anyone know of a 120/12 volt battery charger that can be programmed
for absorb and float voltage and time in absorb mode? I have been
needing this product for many years but I can only find it in inverters
with built in chargers from Magnum, Outback, and Xantrex.

Thank you,
I have a customer who installed his own system and was happy as all get out
with it.
When they changed the laws they found that he had had been billed for his
own power for seems like around 10 years! The fellow owns a phone company,
he's no idiot. The meter got him!

Hi jarmo,
We have verified this is split phase 120/240. My multimeter gets 120 L-N

Hi:
The Generac QT02224GNAX ships as a three-phase 120/208 VAC. I believe the
Magnum is a 120/240 VAC.

The way I would do this if using outback (really what I'm familiar with) is
to set up the aux relay on the inverter to trigger an AC relay that
