Re: Pump won't start on power from Inverter
It appears that your pump may have a VFD built in (Variable Frequency Drive). Many "simple" electronic power supplies with AC input use a pair of diodes and a high voltage capacitor to rect…1 · -
Re: Reducing start up current on air compressor for off grid
Does it look like you are getting a better starting/running current profile (soft start)? Watch the temperature of the electric motor... Most (some, many, most?) VFDs use square wave current of some …1 · -
Re: Reducing start up current on air compressor for off grid
You could also (possibly) use an NTC (negative temperature coefficient) resistor: Higher resistance when cold, Lower resistance when hot. http://www.newark.com/pdfs/techarticles/ametherm/Ametherm_PPT…1 · -
Re: Normal inverter power consumption
Meters and Power Meters are a tricky piece of gear... There are two major ways to measure "variable" waveforms (sine wave, square wave, pulse wave, arbitrary wave, etc.). I believe that thi…1 · -
Re: Solar panels to battery charge.
One big issue--If you have a longer wire/cable run from the solar array to the solar charge controller/battery shed, MPPT controllers can run the Vpanel input at much higher voltages (upwards of 80-1…1 ·
