Do you need a rapid shut down for 8 300 w panels with 4 panels in parallel and the other 4 panels in parallel then connected in series on a low roof with the discount mounted on the wall 3 feet a way from the panels
To which connector exactly, inside the Primo inverter, should the rapid shut down box signal wires be landed: the two conductor orange or the three conductor NO/NC orange connector?
A relay does not achieve reduction of array conductors voltage to the level that NEC requires. In other words if the relay opens the conductors, the current drops to zero but they are energized at the Array voltage, if a firefighter cuts the CD wires with a saw he is going to suffer an electric shock. So power electronics parts must be used.
why cant i just install a 120v contactor in the combiner box and if power goes out the contactor will disconnect the array from exiting that combiner box. why spend the ridiculous high price on these combiner boxes?
I'd need more info. Is it currently charging a battery bank? If so, what voltage? Schneider XW+ or Outback VFXR inverters could be a good fit. Or are you looking to go straight from the turbine to the grid? If that's the case, I'm afraid I don't know of a solution.
right now it's on the 24 volt battery bank with a diversion load. but since I don't have solar yet the battery bank is strickly for grid outages which worked great last week. so the brakes are on both turbines. I wish to put them on a grid tie setup.
I'd suggest the Outback VFXR3524 and the Mate3. Connect it to what you already have, sign up for netmetering to sell back any extra, and it has plenty of room for when you add solar and charge controllers later.
Ma'am you explains so neatly and clearly. Thanks ma'am.
always great advice, and good service. Regards from Panama.
Does the next generation of these have a DC isolator switch? I can't seem to tell from photos, but I'm not seeing one anywhere.

What are all the electronics for in that box. Why not a simple relay ? Im just curious about what is going on in there. Thank you for video

@@jimsmith5109 Thank you. That is really interesting how the cable holds the voltage
Does this work with the SolArk inverter?

I'm looking for a grid tie inverter for my 1600 watt wind turbine, any thoughts? I have load resisters
