Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all

Just dismantled a very heavy unused SolarEdge inverter (model SE17K), looking for toroids.  No luck on that score but I did get a number of largish caps and a lot of other bits that could be useful.  The weight was due to a couple of very solid, potted components, one significantly heavier than the other. I was hoping someone might be able to identify what they are, and if they might be useful to my Warpverter build?

Cheers
Mike




Just added another pic showing the relative sizes of the units.

Heavy with 2 fat wires says "inductor" to me.

Thanks for that.  Makes sense - I just realised it's a 3-phase unit, so there's 2 inductors per phase (one small and one large).
