I installed a couple of EG4 18k inverters off grid this past spring, made
by LuxPower as is the Envy. They look very similar both visually and
programmatically. Withone install, there has been a steady problem of the
inverter shutting off when the client uses a hair dryer. The other client
has not
Folks,
I am going to build a stand-alone power supply for some telecom equipment.
I settled on MorningStar ProStar with their EMC-1.
A few questions:
For emergency operation with days of autonomy used up at or near LVD, is it OK
to parallel an AC powered battery charger such as IOTA onto the b
Victron CCs also is able to b set w/ an "adaptive" charging cycle instead
of a full charge daily.

I will add that I’ve heard privately off list that it’s actually smaller loads
that seem to be the issue.
And larger 1500 watt electric heaters seem to work ok.
I’m wondering if anyone else has come across this issue and I guess more
importantly is there a fix?

Here is what I understand 1/2 wave loads to be.
As I understand it, Heater loads are the main issue.
Toasters, toaster ovens, hair dryers, aquarium/terraium heaters etc.
But if there are other things pls let us know

Friends:
Half wave loads would be those that pass through a single diode or a device
acting like a diode. A resistive load like a heater would not be
considered a half-wave load.
AC-DC power supplies have diodes but if operating correctly will provide
full wave rectification. Switching powe

I’ve recently been made aware that the fortress inverter isn’t too happy with 1/2 wave loads.
I’m wondering if this is an issue with the AIO or solark?
Thanks in advance

As I understand it, Heater loads are the main issue.
Toasters, toaster ovens, hair dryers, aquarium/terraium heaters etc.
But I defer to others that know more.
And I’m double checking to see if the information that I received is accurate.
And of course assuming it is correct, is there anyth

Can you give an example of a device that is powered by a half wave power supply
that is large enough to create an issue for the Envy inverter?
That would help track down why some loads cause the over load error, etc.
Thank you,

scot.a...@solarcentex.com asked about AC coupling between Growatt battery
based inverters and his prior SolarEdge grid tie installation.
For PV to "AC couple" with the storage, it's correct for the SolarEdge AC
to land in the protected load center ("backed up side", as Scot wrote).
Here are the tw
Hi all.
I’ve recently been made aware that the fortress inverter isn’t too happy with
1/2 wave loads.
I’m wondering if this is an issue with the AIO or solark?
Thanks in advance
