NEVER USE HIGHER AMP BREAKER FOR CABLE THAT CAN NOT HANDLE THE LOAD. Braerks are meant to cut power before the cable melts. You put a 50 amp break on a cable that does not have the proper gauge. You now have the possibility of a fire.

I got my EG4 system back in last August. It came with the trouble plagued 6500EXs. I traded them in for two 6000XPs. I got used to the lights flickering but they made the UPS on my computer and RV system click so much I had to remove those. That and the 6500EXs have to be phased to get 240v. If one went out I would not be able to run my deep well pump. The 6000XPs each make 240v and with two paralleled they can support each other and keep voltage fluctuations control ed.

Thanks for this. Good review. I just installed two in parallel with 40kWh LiTime battery bank and 8kW array. I use it to power a critical loads panel to reduce PG&E cost (currently $0.41/kWh). I also have some GroWatts powering my well pump, but these inverters are working like champs. New subscriber.

My victron inverter runs any load problemless. It has a proper transformer and AC filter to store that few joules our loads take when kicking in.

@picobyte 29 күн бұрын

We run our grid at 230/400V here in the Netherlands. Our connection does 27kW and when solar is going we can charge cars/batteries with 50kW. That's some serious juice.

@ry2456 29 күн бұрын

Yes they have quality equipment. I have used multipluses and currently have smaller charge controller and a 1200va phoenix inverter as a portable power source. For home use in the USA they are a pain If a person needs to meet code though. Not to mention some of their pc software is not up to modern UI standards. In the US parts need UL listing. Then finding listed bus bars, fusses, disconnects .........etc... This makes units like this appealing. If Victron built an all in one like the eg4 units but with their gear and got it listed they would get my attention.

That bond needs to be done in your main service panel, but that’s only if you’re using it to power things in your house or else you could create a very dangerous situation with Power going to ground

Yeah 50 amp is good if you’re going to do ac bypass or generator boost. But in my application where I would never come across that I would really never exceed 25A (6000/240) for continuous load
