[RE-wrenches] Trace SW 4048

2020-08-01 Thread Marco Mangelsdorf
Aloha all, I’ve got a pair of Trace, yes Trace, 4048s in a NEM system circa 2001. While I can’t find anything demonstrably wrong after hours of troubleshooting, these buggers just don’t seem to be producing PV power when they should. I’m looking for a greybeard out there who’s well steeped in th

Marco, Can you be more specific when you say not producing PV power? Do you mean no AC output? Given that these are battery-based inverters they’re not dependent on the PV to be present in order to operate. What state are the batteries in? Is the voltage stable when the inverter is in invert mo

I need to spec battery cable for a nominal 850 vdc LFP bank. Several brands of power cable list their rating at a dual 600/1000v. it is my understanding that to be listed in this manner, the cable must pass a test apply of over 600v for a short period  without breakdown. But under normal operati

I would look at Diesel Locomotive Cable  DLO, which is usually dual rated RHH/RHW-2 for us non locomotive folks.  2000 v rated. Its pretty easy to work with, flexible, but has a 2nd inner liner that gives it the higher volt rating.  Its also usually tinned conductors too. https://www.awcwire.c
