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.

  KeepIS said  A single battery can start a 540A 100Hz DC input for something like the external workshop dust extraction system at power up, but that's a brutal test and any internal resistance problem in the battery is going to make it fail that test.

Two parallel batteries have no problem.


Thanks for confirming.  Large lithium based battery banks indoors make me nervous

Lots of rain and overcast days with 34°C temperatures and unbelievable humidity.

The Hot water system is running beautifully on the inverter under these conditions and absolutely no problems for the battery bank and existing solar over a few days of this bad weather.

I've had the inverter running at 4kW when starting the biggest work-shed loads, the peak DC input currents are hitting over 730A, once the extractor startup load settles  the running load is at 5.2kW, the next piece of cutting machinery is started and stopped around 20 times for for a few hours, each start is another 390A Peak DC above the running 5.2kw running load.

The results - well nothing happens, the Inverter remains silent, the Toriods never get above 39°C so cooling fans never come on, and the Heatsink temperature rise is around 2° on each heatsink (convention cooling).

Keep in mind that the Inverter is running an AirCon which is keeping the room that the inverter is located in at around 28°C and of course removing the Humidity.

I've had one fault (which does not affect the inverter), one digital DC input meter has lost it's display, back light still works - it's a few years old so I guess it's time to replace it. I might break it open and have a look, but easier to replace it really.

So, now it's time to pull the old Hot water controller panels down and replace them with higher power panels for more solar to the Inverter, I'm also going to put another 6kw of solar facing slightly south on the back of the shed roof for those overcast rainy days, panels don't care where they face in those overcast conditions.        

This paralleled output stage Inverter is simply amazing.

It's all too hard.

I have received my boards from wiseguy looking forward to doing my build in he new year.

Any update on getting the the real-time display working with home assistant. Would live to see the LCD info show up in a home assistant display.

Perhaps a hard wire solution.
