Re: Wiring In Series (pro vs con)

when wiring series and parallel you should do Ah's first then series. So if you have 9- 4v batteries and you want 12v you parallel three sets of 3 batteries and then series them. this way you're only...

Thanks for answering the mystery of the Christmas lights. I've been wondering about that for 65yrs.

Re: Converting from 220 volts to 110

I realize the Hz problem, but an appliance doesn't care if the 220v is split phase or single phase. If you order say a Yamaha 5kw generator and look how they wire it for 220v 50Hz, they just lower...

Re: Converting from 220 volts to 110

Can't you take 220v, without the neutral, from the US shore power and connect it to the 220v European boat. I've seen European boats take their shore power plug and put a 220v 50A 4 wire plug on...

Re: Solar controller advice

I'm looking at the Blue Sky 3024 controller that does either 12v or 24v system. I asked them if I could put my four solar panels in series for 48v and they said their controller won't handle it. Are...

Re: Solar controller advice

I'm a little confused. Doesn't the panels have to be wired for 12V.

Re: Cycle Counter

Are you saying that if you discharge to just 100ah and recharge, that it would count as one cycles

Cycle Counter

I have a cycle counter for my battery, I know its works off of voltage but how does it determine when a battery has been cycled. What are the parameters.

Re: Magnum 230v 50HZ inverter 3 wire

Magnum's larger inverters have a AC pass through and charger. I want to know if I can input United States 230v, 115v-115v, to this European inverter charger.

Watt Hour

If I have a 210ah 12v battery I get about 2520 watt hours. If I take two of these batteries and put them in series for 210ah at 24v do I still get 2520 watt hours or 5040 watt hours.

Re: Double Pole vs Single Pole Breaker

Thank-you for the phase correction. My original premise was with 20a double pole breaker, one leg can't draw more than 20a.

Re: Double Pole vs Single Pole Breaker

if limiting your load to less than 20a on a 20a breaker, how could that possibly cause a fire.

Re: Double Pole vs Single Pole Breaker

What I was trying to get at is that if you change out a 120v distribution panel that has a 40a single pole main breaker with a 120/240v panel with a 20a double pole main breaker you have to make...

Re: Double Pole vs Single Pole Breaker

Double Pole vs Single Pole Breaker

If you have a generator rated with a 40A single pole breaker wouldn't you change it to a 20A double pole breaker if you switch the generator to 240V output. Isn't a double pole breaker just two...

Re: 48v Solar Controller
