Greetings Mac, Have you personally had success with this by chance? I inherited maintenance of a system for a friend whose original installer went out of business and this was their original approach as well however they and they had used the 100 amp version (even though the system produces just

William, thanks for the reply. In the scenario I'm thinking we use the Blue Seas #3002 switch which has a battery bank A, bank B or A & B option. Under normal circumstances he has it set to A When he wants to eq / condition his Concorde PVX series AGM's he switches to bank A and begins

Hi, There are several different ways to accomplish this via RF signalling. One discussed before here is to use the IO-WRP kit from supplyhouse.com. I did exactly what you want (disconnecting an inverter feed remotely when the generator started) using this kit and relay / contactor. And check

William and wrenches, If these 24's are in there own conduit with no AC then it does not matter as much but if the 24,s are in a blended conduitwith AC then your choice is only AC and even then you may need a termination resistor to kill and transient voltage at the contactor. Wires running

Hi William, I don't want to hijack this thread but I want to give you another idea for disconnecting the Enphase circuit. Generac makes a very convenient load shed device called Smart Management Module SMM50. This may be a good option for you. Instead of having a signal wire/trench etc, it is

Friends: I have an installation of 12 Enphase IQ inverters that is downstream from a generator transfer switch. During power outages the generator will run poorly when the Enphase is on and the sun is shining. The problems go away when the Enphase is shut off. No surprises about this. The
