That's identical to our KwaiThong unit which happily runs our inverter welder. The welder says Imax is 27A but I doubt it ever really goes over 20A. It certainly has never opened the 20A breakers on our outlet circuits but we rarely run it over about 80A weld-current. It's also less than the 18k we paid in 2011 (but that was a flood-enhanced price).

As last-ditch protection after the BMS and then the MCB have failed to do their job. Definitely. In normal operation (or most abnormal operation) the fuse should never open so it should be a one-off cost.

Can you link to the Nash unit? Wanting to run an arc welder may up the requirements.

Electric Cable Extension aka "Cable Wheel"
Crossy replied to STD Warehouse's topic in The Electrical Forum
Yup, IP20 would mean basically finger-proof (objects up to 12mm) and zero water protection. Outside use only in dry conditions. One of many online references to what IPXX actually means: - https://www.wolfautomation.com/blog/what-does-ip20-mean-actually-what-does-any-ip-mean/ -

From your description it looks like they were being nice to you (OK, avoiding doing the paperwork) so they likely won't have logged anything before sending you on your way. I would think you'll be just fine to fly back, assuming of course that you meet the new vaxx requirements.

Electric Cable Extension aka "Cable Wheel"
Crossy replied to STD Warehouse's topic in The Electrical Forum
Potential hazard, it has 2-core cable and 3-pin outlets! Also, they say it's 2x1mm2 and that it's 16A (Bangkok cable 2x1mm2 VCT is 10A in free air https://www.bangkokcable.com/system/product/file_upload/210524_450!750V 70C VCT_1-4core_Rev04.pdf ) The red metal one appears also to have a 2-pin plug which would mean that the metalwork cannot be grounded! And the 3-pin outlets problem as above too. The middle plastic one looks OK, but we don't know the size of the cable, should be 3x1.5mm2 (it's sometimes called 2-core with ground just to confuse) for 16A minimum. We have one of the red ones (ours is yellow), but it's long since had the cable replaced by 3x1.5mm2 and the metalwork is connected to the ground pins of the outlets. In the end it's actually cheaper to buy the bits and make your own cables, and you know it's made right. Your pressure washer is 1,800W, so about 8A and it's likely double-insulated so it would actually be safe on all of your quoted leads (still really should have the red one's metalwork grounded). -
Generally, you want cables of the same function to be about the same length. So: - Battery +ve's to bus bar = same length Battery -ve's to bus bar = same length (but doesn't have to be the same as the +ve's) Similarly, for your inverters. Unless you are actually paralleling cables the length matching isn't super-duper critical, say about 5%.

Whilst these guides can be very useful if your bike has a carb. our OP is talking about flooding as in lots of rain not fuel flooding ????

What makes you say this? MCBs have been used for decades on both AC and DC and provided you use a recognised brand are very reliable. A correctly rated fuse is vital insurance of course to back up the protection from the BMS electronics and the MCB.

Growatt SPF5000ES Offgrid 9kw DIY Solar Project
Crossy replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
the panels will be correct polarity (famous last words), so the only time you need to be certain is when you run your cables to the controller/inverter. Important. Your cables will have MC4s of opposite sex on each end to maintain correct polarity. -
I suspect this is at the receiving end. What application are they using to (try to) view the video? EDIT Can they view other videos of the same format without needing all the info?

Growatt SPF5000ES Offgrid 9kw DIY Solar Project
Crossy replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
All our panels have two black wires coming from them. Absolutely necessary to verify your polarity before hooking to the electronics. Many inverters will sense incorrect solar input and warn you; many others will inform you with a little puff of Magic Smoke and remind you when you buy a new one ???? -
Tips appreciated on pitfalls to buying a used car in Thailand
Crossy replied to JTXR's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
It's like "back-home" but raised to the nth power ???? I would avoid the "tents" unless you really know what you are doing. If the budget runs to it there are plenty of places doing "certified" used cars complete with warranty. -
No, it's pissy stuff ???? Fetching my coat!

Yeah, my panels are the same. Easy to modify the connector so that the regular tool (or long nose pliers) have access should you need to get them apart.
