yes, 15 seconds would be a long time... for sure.... on the "Wes that tech guy" inverter ats switching....🤔 wonder if that has been changed ???
but then he did not blow up inverters and melt dc circuit breakers and such when hooking two 12k inverters to the AC system that Sean had issues with....
maybe they have figured out that problem by now though.... a simple penguin fix.
Sigineer makes a lot of big heavy LF inverters....
the ice is causing lots of havoc for me still and it was 10 degrees below zero Fahrenheit this morning still>>>> the diesel skid loader's battery needs to be charged more ...heated it overnight but ....
still too cold to be outside working for very long 😎
Wes sell 12kw inverter from his new company Solargenie . He also sell dedicated 60vdc e-bike charger and lithium-ion battery charger for over 400 dollars . I use several similar 60vdc chargers to safely charge lithium-ion battery .
My guess is that Wes probably try to use 2 inverters for charging and blow it up with his old design inverter with the Square Powerjack case and learn from experience and tell Sigineer to make the new 12kw inverter with 15 second backfeeding checking delay . He also has his new 12kw inverter self-test for error before start running when switch on with soft start so not damage the FETs . The new 25kw Upower inverter made by Jack also do self-test for error before running .
@dickson I do not know if Wes try that or not
I was referring to Sean Genetry hooking up two inverters and blowing one up...
he was using gs12k when he did that,
and one time melted his dc breaker also...
did not sound like they(Sean y Sid) knew why though
likely another reason why they are not ul approved to hook up to the grid....
maybe faulty chinesium parts???
I think he was trying to figure it out..
I can no longer find the Youtube of sean hooking up two inverters and blowing one up in milliseconds i do not know if Wes try that or not either but something bad happen . Something must happen like backfeeding the inverter input and output while charging for Wes to have Sigineer program 15 second delay in ATS .
possibly >>> Sean deleted a bunch of his YouTube videos so they are not there anymore....
it would be interesting to know if they Sean y Sid) ever figured out what the problem was???
of blowing up the inverter and melting the DC breakers etc..
.
Tim the tool man says >>>> oooh oooh >>> more power Yah
Mike G is still upgrading his high voltage inverter set up on YouTube but he has large very heavy 25k and 30k high voltage LF inverters I think about 192 volts or more on the battery bank....
and Mike G said he bought 60kWh battery for like 4000 to 4500 dollars so he found a new bargain on batteries ( new YouTube video)
no overheating problems with the high voltage equipment as they are drawing fewer amps
out of my league right now (still learning)🤔
@dickson Yes i think they are improving their design to do self-test and soft start so everything does not get fried ( the Powerjack/u-power etc designs...)
I know they were promoting to use of the external inductor to prevent problems in the newer Powerjack AMG-style inverters,,,
selling more gismos to aid their design issues???
kind of stop the kickback act as another filter....???
which is similar to a couple more wraps on the small added toroid donuts inside the case .... basically filters or gives it a little space to control the voltage kickback....
@pilgrimvalley the inverter failure when hooking up 2 was attributed to insufficient insulation under transformer
That's why they went thicker on the pads
The thicker pad cause the transformer hold down bolt to not match the hole . Sean on Youtube had to waste a lot of time to make the 12kw inverter and sometimes take a day and half to assemble one .
I just watch Mike G video , He buy the battery from Alibaba and the small stuff from Aliexpress . DIY battery price from China are going down fast . Lithium_ion battery price are going down even faster since EV car sales are down . I bought 60000 watt hour lithium-ion battery for 3500 dollars including freight . The pallets weigh over a ton . I am still working on assembling the battery to 72vdc and 64vdc .

yes ,,, remember him complaining about the difficulty of assembling as the bolt was not the right size etc when they added the two thicker pads to insulate the toroidal transformer.....
Sean deleted a bunch of his YouTube videos so they are not there anymore.... it would be interesting to know if they Sean y Sid) ever figured out what the problem was???
I look everywhere on Youtube but no more new video . I like to see a video of two GS12kw inverters setup for charging one battery bank that is running one inverter and a second inverter is charging the same battery bank that the first inverter is running . Probably no video since all the 12kw are sold . I use a Riden6024 to charge the same battery bank that a Powerjack 30kw is running and the Riden6024 overheat after 10 minutes and the FETs exploded in the Riden6024 .
yes, I do not want to kill off the Riden chargers....>>> that is for sure....
I do not want to kill off the Riden chargers. I kill 2 Riden6024 . The surge from the Powerjack running and the battery being charge at the same time . The other Riden6024 killed by setting the charge amp to 7A when the max should be 5A . The third Riden6024 is still working good . The Riden6024 is not cheap . The Wanptec is just a few dollars more and have no problem .
@dickson I do not know if Wes try that or not ... I was referring to Sean Genetry hooking up two inverters and blowing one up...
I know now that Wes the tech guy NEVER connect 2 inverters to charge the same battery bank the first inverter is running . NO one on Youtube made a video of 2 inverters charging the same battery bank that is also running the two inverters . Wes sell his inverter running in parallel mode to charge the battery . He can parallel 4 inverters or more and still charge the battery . Wes design his inverter with 15 seconds delay in ATS mode .
wonder if Wes the Tech guy's line of inverters have UL approval???? there are a lot of places where you are not allowed the unapproved inverter in solar PV installations....
I got a red tag one time to stop work on a grand-fathered project.....had to go pay for a permit and submit plans through the zoning board (bureaucracy) pain in my hind end....
in a bigger city, I made the front page for telling them to KMA and still was allowed to do what I was doing anyway....
