Yes LFP - the grid is only on a few hours in the morning and a few hours
in the evening and even that is not reliable. Diesel is to be avoided
as much as possible as diesel prices are volatile now that Venezuela is
closing the tap and local maintenance is iffy. So I'm looking at
buffering w
Did you mean to say LFP? It depends on who made the battery. LFP batteries can
be charged using CC/CV. Some, like the Elite PS/GBS battery packages can accept
a simple CV power supply of 3.65 Vpc.
The inverter is always on and isolated from the grid so it’s not affected by
poor power quality un
Ahh I see now the Victron does have a line of Chargers that are not also
Inverters. Thanks!
Anyone else with experience with specific equipment?
Thanks again,
Jeff

Chris - I'm not sure a transformer will buffer the spikes and frequency
but just pass them on - others?
Larry and Jerry - If I were to go with the separate battery charger/PS
approach - what specific 48 V LF
Check out the Victron line of Chargers as well as the inverter charger units.
AC in 187-265 45-65 Hz. for the inverters 230V/50Hz, inverter.
Please feel free to e mail me 4 additional info. Great BT support / internet
access. well thought out product.

Hello, Jeff & All~ In the world of high end yachts, the crew needs to be
able to plug in and charge in various regions of the world. Some marine
oriented battery chargers are "universal input" & designed to run from 90v
to 265 volts, 50/60 hz according to one spec sheet for the Victron Phoenix.

Hello Jeff,
Why mess with the grids unreliable and potentially harmful power. Go with your
question 2…. using the power inverters full time with no AC input, no transfer
switch. You will need a power supply/battery charger large enough to power the
loads through the inverter and maintain the ba

I have been there too in most cases we have programmed in the VAC max/mins
with tighter setting so as the grid starts to go we just disconnect. I did
just do a charger instead of the inverter because the grid was generally
low on frequency but the charger just charged and l see it on optics wh
Hi Jeff,
Kind of an odd suggestion, but what if you try the following:
Install a 240v to 120v auto transformer (like the Outback PSX 240) and have
the grid feed your 240v input and then either split your 120v output into 2
conductors for 240v or transform from 120 back to 240v. This may help take
Good Day Esteemed Wrenchers,
So we are doing more work in developing countries where the grid is
super unreliable but on for some hours almost daily.
So let's say we have a grid that's on 9 AM - 11 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM each
day but often browns-out during those hours and comes on and off during
10 matches
