Re: [RE-wrenches] Grounding/bonding question for 200A main breaker service disconnect

It looks like there is a bonding screw just below where the bare equipment grounding conductor lands? That bonds that grounding lugs set to the panel enclosure. You can always do a continuity test from point to point to determine if they are bonded. Michael D Nelson MD Electric & Solar, Inc. 70

Thanks to all for the input and suggestions, it is much appreciated. Just to be clear about the situation, the inverter has already made the AC transfer, which goes smoothly. The AC IN light is off. At this point the generator is unloaded and there is no battery charging happening. The inverter is

Lou, I would add that this problem could be solved by removing any auto gen start function and controlling the generator manually. Then the default start/stop procedure is user-controlled: check monitor/start gennie/check operation; when done, turn off charging at SCP/cool down/shut off gennie

Firmware version? What is the generator low voltage set point set to? If it is a good quality get set this should be set ~110-112 VAC that way when the gen set is unloading/shutting off, the inverter will switch at that voltage from gen set to inverter. you also have a Hz set point for the gens

Lou: I am sorry to hear about your situation. Too often the installer is stuck in the middle between equipment that does not perform as it should and the customers that experience the problems. I have a system with similar problems, although it is an Outback system. The facility is an off-gr

Hi Lou, I might suggest a relay that switches with the signal for ags start/stop. It'll disconnect the AC from the genset with a lot shorter delay. Jay Peltz power. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 29, 2016, at 11:27 AM, Lou Russo wrote: > > Wrenches, > > I recently installed a Schneider C

I've seen similar weirdness with many systems of various brands. The issue seems to be having the generator shutting down while still under load, with as you noted, the frequency and voltage dropping, and the inverter not transferring quick enough. Basically I suggest to my customers having si

Wrenches, I recently installed a Schneider Conext SW 4024, Schnieder's DC Distribution panel, AC Distribution panel, SCP, and the AGS. It was to be a straightforward inverter swap, Xantrex 4024 to the Conext SW setup. The actual installation went fine. I did switch over the house wiring from 120 t
