Re: Reducing start up current on air compressor for off grid
The quest for the holy grail. It's called a 3 phase motor, and a compressor unloader (air valve that lets the compressor spin up with no backpressure) Then you get a VFD (variable frequency drive) co…1 · -
Re: Solar panels to battery charge.
Systems over 600w, generally benefit from MPPT because you can run higher PV string voltage, and use smaller wire. If you have a long run, that can save a lot of expensive fat copper wire.1 · -
Re: New to solar and this site and a little problem to solve with my generator
A engine driving an alternator, creates a sine wave https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/sinusoidal-waveform.html and the engine speed controls the frequency of the sinewave. So engine spe…1 · -
Re: New to solar and this site and a little problem to solve with my generator
Many generators produce a strange output waveform when unloaded or heavily loaded. Put a couple hundred watts of load on each phase, and then see what the Frequency is. The frequency is controlled by…1 ·
