The SnapNRack universal end clamp isn't going to let go at any angle. It
grip the rear module face against the real with tremendous force.

Exactly! And fully programmable voltage, charge timers, equalization, etc. I’ve
been begging Magnum Energy to do this. About 4 years ago they started telling
me they were working on it. I guess they don’t realize how many are needed. I
sell lots of Iota because I can tweak the voltage but that’s
What about the Morningstar Relay Driver? You could use one port as battery
voltage sense, another to control the gene start relay, third to sense
generator voltage and 4th to control AC relay via a timer to allow generator
warmup time.

Wouldn't the Atkinson GSCM generator start module do what you need? It can send
start and stop signals based on voltage. I'm not sure if those are still being
made.http://atkinsonelectronics.com/manufacturing/product_pdfs/GSCM.pdf

Yes, but how do you integrate a sensor with an Iota? And I don't think they
make a 30A (or higher would be fine, he's got a bigass generator) 48V
charger I got ears, but I've never heard of such a thing. It just
seems like a damn shame to buy a big inverter when I just need a decent
charger
The industry needs a GOOD battery charger ! PFC and fully adjustable
with battery shunt interface, gen-start,
etc. That could be used for lots of installations like this one Chris
is looking for. It's needed all the time.
It's a no brainer what features it should have.
I've wanted to do
Sorry boB, I retract my advice then :-)
Ive done it fine (I do like to use big filter caps on the input to clean up
ripple) and keep close tabs on whats going on.
My listeroid has been running into an MX60 for many years (7 or 8 years)
without issues at around 3kw into 48v bank, and has proved t
We are not really advocating doing this. It can cause nightmares in
service and support.
If one really knows what they are doing, it can be done (and has been
done) but mere mortals should not
be attempting to do this.
I would get a real AC to DC charger. If IOTA isn't good enough, maybe
The midnite classic 250 can do this fine. Rectify the generator 110vac to
around 165vdc and feed into classic. Use Aux functions to start and stop
generator based on battery voltage or SOC %.

Dear people:
I'm looking for an easy solution for battery charging off a generator, but
trying to save the cost of a big inverter. I have a customer who needs to
charge a 48V battery bank with a 30A charger off of a generator--but I need
it to sense when the battery voltage is low, so that the "
Garrison,
I'm here in a campground in the Emerald Triangle with Jeff Spies,
who works for Quick Mount PV, and so I read him your message. He
suggested that you take the engineering specs from UniRac and
IronRidge to the AHJ, showing her pullout and shear capacities and
Did you look at Unirac SunFrame? It uses shared rails and a continuous cap
strip. The installers can also set the modules in the rail which is really
nice on steep roofs. If you are in a freeze/thaw climate contact me off-line
because there’s a subtle thermal contraction consideration to allo
Thanks for the responses.
I called UniRac and IronRidge who both confirmed they max out at 45°. UniRac
said anything over 45° is considered a wall and requires different testing and
certification. They said the primary concern is the end clamp which holds the
module by friction only. Mi
I've used them a few times and have them on my home due to a small shade issue.
Like mentioned the monitoring is great, lots of data. Never had a problem with
any parts.

A local electrician found this disconnect "protecting" a 3-phase air
handler.
