Hi all, JFYI I tested this again based on what I learned in this thread, I ran roughly 130A through a single TOMZN 63A single pole and it took 3m30s for it to trip, so seems to be working ok. I think when I get this all wired into my house in August I'll probably switch to JTEC though as these...

my cells are individually fused so I'll pass on the short circuit, I don't fancy spending the next few weeks checking and refusing 1500 18650's ;) Best I can do is run about 112A through it, its a 63A trip so I'll wait a couple of minutes for the thermal trip.

aaahh ok, thank v.much for this. It says "Trip type: thermal magnetic" so I guess its the heat type. I'll try it again but for longer.

Hi All, So I have installed a DC MCB between my battery and my PIP, specifically the "TOMZN" 63A single pole. specs for ref: http://www.generalpower.lk/images/products/DC%20Mini%20Circuit%20Breaker-351a3rb4n0i9c16q7l4bani5ac.pdf Now it said somewhere on the aliexpress listing that the "load"...

Hm yeah that's an idea, though it brings a few other problems. I'd had to run extra PV cabling from inside the house to the roof, there's additional costs of the extra CT's and cabling and lastly it means I wouldn't be able to monitor that circuit with my Solar-Assistant. Yes the shade will...

Think you guys are getting a bit mixed up, the shaded pitched roof panels are facing the road so those are the ones visible from street level. the panels couldn't be raised - they're allowed to be up to 20cm above the highest part of the roof (with chimneys excluded of course :p) and they're...

there isn't really any way the council would know I have them, they're only visible once you're on top of the 3rd floor roof and I imagine I'd have to do something pretty bad to cause them to want to inspect my roof 😅 though I think its fine if they're installed using ballast mounts as this way...

The plot is 140 years old but its not the age that created the law, its because its a terrace row. The law says you're not allowed to make changes to a house that causes it to be structurally deviated from the rest of the terraced plot when viewed from the street level. Hence why during my...

Yeah I'll skip on the MI approach I think, it over complicates and overprices the setup. One other thought I had, the flat roof panels are obviously a bit higher than the lowest unshaded row of pitched panels, they're also likely to be at a different angle - 15 degrees on the flat vs 35 degrees...

Thanks for confirming, I've already emailed MPP to ask them to confirm the MAX series 2x PV inputs actually has 2x CT's behind them. I did think about the MI approach but as you say, this adds a cost of £1400 to my install, and how would you wire the 14x MI 230v outputs to the charger, could...

Hi All, I had a question about the best setup for an array that gets a bit of shade each day - I've done what research I can and believe I know what the best solution would be, but I'd really appreciate your opinions on this. I've made this lovely crude drawing showing my intended array setup...

Hi All, Selling of my MPP Solar 3024 MSE PIP. Had it for about a year, lightly used. Selling as I up-scaled my PV to 1.5KW and needed a stronger inverter to cope. Item is listed on ebay here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174298341554 Price is currently 220 plus 10 shipping, UK only...

Hi Guys, I recently purchased an MPP Solar PIP 3024MK directly from them to replace my 3024MSE. My PV wattage had grown so needed a stronger PIP to support it. For some reason I can't get WatchPower to connect? I literally flipped the serial cable over from the old pip to the new one and it...

yeah i tried lowering that one to 4v as well, it was still charging :(

Hi Guys, Am I missing something here? I've set this up on 4 BMS, 2 it worked, 2 it didn't? As you can see from the images below, I've set COVP to 4.1v and release to 4.0v, and the charge fet is shown as disabled with the COVP alarm... yet it's still allowing charge current through? Thanks in...

right, so I've been thinking about this and doing some more research and came up with the following ideas: firstly i will have to make my battery a bit bigger, i have a new car and a bigger space to store it so... more cells = less v load dip. secondly, i looked into going down the 24v route...

why would 1 unit send out 10 and the others nothing? if im using 2 and they are both set not to limit current and output at say 13v, they should be outputting an equal amount of amps shouldnt they?also not sure what you mean about turning them on, as long as a current is flowing through them...

Completelycharged was talking about using boosts though, not bucks. The bucks I have ordered state specifically that they can be used in parallel: https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.0.0.18cc4c4dQ4eRjE&orderId=104992952557449&productId=32946226619 Thanks for the diode...
