Dopes who don't have a clue and don't pay their own power bills at home I'm guessing ...... the adults are fine, the kids however, not a clue ....supersparky wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 1:08 pm George, it is only a waste of money if you don't consider your health important.
Terry, what are they growing that uses so much power?
Shirley, couldn't find those glasses, just picked up the new ones. The spare set now in a safe spot.
My Terrie had a cataract in one eye, the surgeon put in a 1.5 lens in, she can see better than me now, apparently.
The matriarch of the extended family has now removed all the heater element type appliances from the kitchen and the rest of the house, fancy thinking you can run a 2400w heater in the bedroom, x multiple bedrooms, with the doors open, then make a meal using the deep fryer, and air fryer and a toaster, and the lights, TV and auto start unduction motor water pump, all off 2 x 5000va inverters .... not once mind you, multiple times until one overheated and put all the load on the other one ...... The brain dead sparkie who wired the place put a 25 amp RCD for each inverter rather than the two inverters through the one RCD, then into a 63 amp RCD to the main circuit board .... no hope of overload protection from that end .... the overload alarms would have been screaming, but that is a storey below and under the house so they probably didn't hear them or simply ignored them .......
Today is day two of what I thought would be a 5 hr job, had to relocate everything on the boards to make room for the monster inverters and the 150/100 solar regulators .... didn't think about just how much bigger those thinks are, one on its own takes up the space of two MPP Solar 145/60 solar regulators ....... unfortunately the open circuit voltage from the solar arrays the solar people installed is up around the 110vdc, so the much smaller 100/50 solar controllers couldn't be used ....
Rewiring 6 runs of solar that fed 6 solar controllers so it feeds 4 solar controllers is proving to be a challenge as well ...... then programming and updating 6 Victron appliances in an area with crap internet coverage ........

Just as well I did the mowing early in the week.
