What's guys? Welcome back to the What's guys? Welcome back to the What's guys?
Welcome back to the channel. In this episode, we're going to channel. In this episode, we're going to channel.
In this episode, we're going to be doing a little bit of a load test be doing a little bit of a load test be doing a little bit of a load test with this Victron Quattro 10 KVA with this Victron Quattro 10 KVA with this Victron Quattro 10 KVA singlephase inverter. So, uh we're going singlephase inverter. So, uh we're going singlephase inverter.
So, uh we're going to be loading it up with some induction to be loading it up with some induction to be loading it up with some induction loads using induction cookers. There's loads using induction cookers. There's loads using induction cookers.
There's also uh other induction loads with like also uh other induction loads with like also uh other induction loads with like motors for like compressors and vacuums motors for like compressors and vacuums motors for like compressors and vacuums and stuff like that plugged into it. We and stuff like that plugged into it. We and stuff like that plugged into it.
We also have some resistive loads like the also have some resistive loads like the also have some resistive loads like the uh water heater and also the other uh water heater and also the other uh water heater and also the other heater down here. But it's a huge mess heater down here. But it's a huge mess heater down here.
But it's a huge mess in here. Uh we just don't have enough in here. Uh we just don't have enough in here.
Uh we just don't have enough space to get this done. And I actually space to get this done. And I actually space to get this done.
And I actually had a difficult time finding uh enough had a difficult time finding uh enough had a difficult time finding uh enough inductive loads because we actually inductive loads because we actually inductive loads because we actually don't have that many. So we had to go don't have that many. So we had to go don't have that many.
So we had to go and buy these induction cooktops. and buy these induction cooktops. and buy these induction cooktops.
Anyways, point is if you're interested Anyways, point is if you're interested Anyways, point is if you're interested in the load test with the Vikron in the load test with the Vikron in the load test with the Vikron Quattro, stick with Quattro, stick with Quattro, stick with us. All right, so let's talk about us. All right, so let's talk about us.
All right, so let's talk about what's actually connected first. So this what's actually connected first. So this what's actually connected first.
So this right here is a Victron Quattro 48 volt right here is a Victron Quattro 48 volt right here is a Victron Quattro 48 volt 10 KVA inverter. We did pick this one up 10 KVA inverter. We did pick this one up 10 KVA inverter.
We did pick this one up from Signature Solar. So, if you want to from Signature Solar. So, if you want to from Signature Solar.
So, if you want to go pick it up, make sure you check the go pick it up, make sure you check the go pick it up, make sure you check the link in description below. But if you're link in description below. But if you're link in description below.
But if you're going to buy it, use the coupon code cuz going to buy it, use the coupon code cuz going to buy it, use the coupon code cuz that'll get you like 50 off 500, right? that'll get you like 50 off 500, right? that'll get you like 50 off 500, right?
So, uh, this right here is connected to So, uh, this right here is connected to So, uh, this right here is connected to this indoor wall mount battery. Indoor this indoor wall mount battery. Indoor this indoor wall mount battery.
Indoor wall mount battery has two two watt wall mount battery has two two watt wall mount battery has two two watt cables coming out of here for each cables coming out of here for each cables coming out of here for each positive and negative. And you can see positive and negative. And you can see positive and negative.
And you can see the two positive cables here, two the two positive cables here, two the two positive cables here, two negative cables there, feed into the uh, negative cables there, feed into the uh, negative cables there, feed into the uh, Victron Quadro there. And then out of Victron Quadro there. And then out of Victron Quadro there.
And then out of here, we got ROMX six or eight gauge here, we got ROMX six or eight gauge here, we got ROMX six or eight gauge ROMX feed out of AC out and it's going ROMX feed out of AC out and it's going ROMX feed out of AC out and it's going to feed into this load center right to feed into this load center right to feed into this load center right here. And this load center, it's powered here. And this load center, it's powered here.
And this load center, it's powered uh or this 50 amp breaker is going to be uh or this 50 amp breaker is going to be uh or this 50 amp breaker is going to be feeding from the Victron. Then we have feeding from the Victron. Then we have feeding from the Victron.
Then we have here uh two 15 amp breakers. Two 50 A here uh two 15 amp breakers. Two 50 A here uh two 15 amp breakers.
Two 50 A breakers, two 15 amp breakers. And if breakers, two 15 amp breakers. And if breakers, two 15 amp breakers.
And if you don't know what these breakers are, you don't know what these breakers are, you don't know what these breakers are, they're pretty much just tandem they're pretty much just tandem they're pretty much just tandem breakers. So they give you pretty much breakers. So they give you pretty much breakers.
So they give you pretty much two breakers or two circuits uh in one two breakers or two circuits uh in one two breakers or two circuits uh in one breaker slot. So this is called a normal breaker slot. So this is called a normal breaker slot.
So this is called a normal breaker which you know most normal breaker which you know most normal breaker which you know most normal people would see in their house but if people would see in their house but if people would see in their house but if you don't have enough space uh then you you don't have enough space uh then you you don't have enough space uh then you can get these tandem breakers. They do can get these tandem breakers. They do can get these tandem breakers.
They do cost a little bit more uh to get two cost a little bit more uh to get two cost a little bit more uh to get two circuits out of here. So that's why circuits out of here. So that's why circuits out of here.
So that's why they're kind of spaced out here cuz they're kind of spaced out here cuz they're kind of spaced out here cuz remember this is a singlephase 120 volt remember this is a singlephase 120 volt remember this is a singlephase 120 volt inverter. So 120 volts here, 120 volts inverter. So 120 volts here, 120 volts inverter.
So 120 volts here, 120 volts here, 120 volts here. This right here is here, 120 volts here. This right here is here, 120 volts here.
This right here is a 240 volt uh breaker and circuit that a 240 volt uh breaker and circuit that a 240 volt uh breaker and circuit that we had connected. I did uh connect it we had connected. I did uh connect it we had connected.
I did uh connect it back just in case we didn't need some back just in case we didn't need some back just in case we didn't need some additional load. But only one side of additional load. But only one side of additional load.
But only one side of this is actually live, right? So that's this is actually live, right? So that's this is actually live, right?
So that's why that's coming out of here going into why that's coming out of here going into why that's coming out of here going into this uh branch Y adapter and then only this uh branch Y adapter and then only this uh branch Y adapter and then only that side is going to be live. This side that side is going to be live. This side that side is going to be live.
This side is dead because remember it's only uh is dead because remember it's only uh is dead because remember it's only uh single phase here. So here I'm going to single phase here. So here I'm going to single phase here.
So here I'm going to tell you go ahead. We have tell you go ahead. We have tell you go ahead.
We have um on this breaker circuit we have uh um on this breaker circuit we have uh um on this breaker circuit we have uh what shop vac connected to it. So vacuum what shop vac connected to it. So vacuum what shop vac connected to it.
So vacuum loads, it's going to be inductive loads loads, it's going to be inductive loads loads, it's going to be inductive loads mainly because they are running motors. mainly because they are running motors. mainly because they are running motors.
All of these, we'll get into it. So All of these, we'll get into it. So All of these, we'll get into it.
So these are 15 amp breakers coming out of these are 15 amp breakers coming out of these are 15 amp breakers coming out of this right here uh outlet or box right this right here uh outlet or box right this right here uh outlet or box right here using 12 gauge ROMX going into 15 here using 12 gauge ROMX going into 15 here using 12 gauge ROMX going into 15 amp outlets. So going into 15 amp amp outlets. So going into 15 amp amp outlets.
So going into 15 amp outlets and 15 amp breakers. That's outlets and 15 amp breakers. That's outlets and 15 amp breakers.
That's fine. Uh so resistive loads here, fine. Uh so resistive loads here, fine.
Uh so resistive loads here, inductive load here, inductive load inductive load here, inductive load inductive load here, inductive load here, inductive load here, inductive here, inductive load here, inductive here, inductive load here, inductive load here. here. This is connected to a load here.
here. This is connected to a load here. here.
This is connected to a Makita uh uh air compressor. This right Makita uh uh air compressor. This right Makita uh uh air compressor.
This right here is a resistive load water boiler. here is a resistive load water boiler. here is a resistive load water boiler.
We'll get into it. All of the stuff We'll get into it. All of the stuff We'll get into it.
All of the stuff we're going to be monitoring with this we're going to be monitoring with this we're going to be monitoring with this Surbo GX right here, which is connected Surbo GX right here, which is connected Surbo GX right here, which is connected to the Touch 50 right here. And to the Touch 50 right here. And to the Touch 50 right here.
And obviously, all the breakers are off. So, obviously, all the breakers are off. So, obviously, all the breakers are off.
So, we got no loads. Uh all that's going to we got no loads. Uh all that's going to we got no loads.
Uh all that's going to be powered by this 12volt battery here. be powered by this 12volt battery here. be powered by this 12volt battery here.
Just how that works. But the all the Just how that works. But the all the Just how that works.
But the all the load from the inverter is going to be load from the inverter is going to be load from the inverter is going to be coming from this uh battery powered uh coming from this uh battery powered uh coming from this uh battery powered uh EG4 indoor wall mount battery. So uh EG4 indoor wall mount battery. So uh EG4 indoor wall mount battery.
So uh like I said, I'm let me apologize for like I said, I'm let me apologize for like I said, I'm let me apologize for the mess. We were not planning on doing the mess. We were not planning on doing the mess.
We were not planning on doing this. Uh and we also uh had troubles this. Uh and we also uh had troubles this.
Uh and we also uh had troubles finding all this load. So we kind of finding all this load. So we kind of finding all this load.
So we kind of gathered all the random stuff that we gathered all the random stuff that we gathered all the random stuff that we have and we also had to go out and buy have and we also had to go out and buy have and we also had to go out and buy some inductive uh induction cooktops to some inductive uh induction cooktops to some inductive uh induction cooktops to make this happen. So induction cooktops make this happen. So induction cooktops make this happen.
So induction cooktops here. We're going to try to generate here. We're going to try to generate here.
We're going to try to generate close to 15 or 1,600 watts from each close to 15 or 1,600 watts from each close to 15 or 1,600 watts from each one. So each one has its own circuit one. So each one has its own circuit one.
So each one has its own circuit here. So hopefully if we get it right, here. So hopefully if we get it right, here.
So hopefully if we get it right, this will be, you know, 1,500 watts this will be, you know, 1,500 watts this will be, you know, 1,500 watts here, 1500 watts here, and then so here, 1500 watts here, and then so here, 1500 watts here, and then so that's 3,00 300 300 gives you roughly that's 3,00 300 300 gives you roughly that's 3,00 300 300 gives you roughly about 9,000. And we can get more by about 9,000. And we can get more by about 9,000.
And we can get more by flipping this on if we need to. So, uh, flipping this on if we need to. So, uh, flipping this on if we need to.
So, uh, that's how it's going to work cuz that's how it's going to work cuz that's how it's going to work cuz remember this one here has, I believe, remember this one here has, I believe, remember this one here has, I believe, at on a cool temperature close to about at on a cool temperature close to about at on a cool temperature close to about 8,000 watts continuous. Uh, so, you 8,000 watts continuous. Uh, so, you 8,000 watts continuous.
Uh, so, you know, 99 9,000 is more than 8,000. So, know, 99 9,000 is more than 8,000. So, know, 99 9,000 is more than 8,000.
So, let's see how that works out. Right. let's see how that works out.
Right. let's see how that works out. Right.
First thing we're going to do is flip First thing we're going to do is flip First thing we're going to do is flip all the breakers. Let's flip these all the breakers. Let's flip these all the breakers.
Let's flip these on. Uh, I'm going to flip probably this on. Uh, I'm going to flip probably this on.
Uh, I'm going to flip probably this one on last. Mainly because it's going one on last. Mainly because it's going one on last.
Mainly because it's going to get noisy because this is connected to get noisy because this is connected to get noisy because this is connected to the uh what do you call it? Uh, the to the uh what do you call it? Uh, the to the uh what do you call it?
Uh, the compressor. So, let's go ahead and get compressor. So, let's go ahead and get compressor.
So, let's go ahead and get this load going. We'll hit this. This is this load going.
We'll hit this. This is this load going. We'll hit this.
This is just a fan. Uh, this right here is a just a fan. Uh, this right here is a just a fan.
Uh, this right here is a resistive heater. We'll turn this thing resistive heater. We'll turn this thing resistive heater.
We'll turn this thing all the way up. It's going to be getting all the way up. It's going to be getting all the way up.
It's going to be getting pretty warm in here since we're in a pretty warm in here since we're in a pretty warm in here since we're in a closed garage space. Uh, here is closed garage space. Uh, here is closed garage space.
Uh, here is induction cooktop. Let's go ahead and induction cooktop. Let's go ahead and induction cooktop.
Let's go ahead and get this one started if assuming we can get this one started if assuming we can get this one started if assuming we can even figure out how to use this. This one here. Hit the on button.
this. This one here. Hit the on button.
this. This one here. Hit the on button.
We'll set this one to water boil We'll set this one to water boil We'll set this one to water boil function. There you go. That one should function.
There you go. That one should function. There you go.
That one should start boiling. This one works pretty start boiling. This one works pretty start boiling.
This one works pretty quick. You can see there's already quick. You can see there's already quick.
You can see there's already bubbles in there. This right here, we'll bubbles in there. This right here, we'll bubbles in there.
This right here, we'll start this one. It's already on. Uh, start this one.
It's already on. Uh, start this one. It's already on.
Uh, we'll get this to we'll get this to we'll get this to boil. There we go. That's cooking at boil.
There we go. That's cooking at boil. There we go.
That's cooking at 460° F. So, that one should be going. And going.
And going. And then that one right here is a water then that one right here is a water then that one right here is a water electric tea kettle. We'll go ahead and electric tea kettle.
We'll go ahead and electric tea kettle. We'll go ahead and flip that one there. And now we got some flip that one there.
And now we got some flip that one there. And now we got some load under way. Let's go ahead and take load under way.
Let's go ahead and take load under way. Let's go ahead and take a look real quick here. We're get a look real quick here.
We're get a look real quick here. We're get drawing roughly close to drawing roughly close to drawing roughly close to 6,000 watts. So, something is missing.
I 6,000 watts. So, something is missing. I 6,000 watts.
So, something is missing. I think it's this guy right here cuz this think it's this guy right here cuz this think it's this guy right here cuz this guy we need to I probably should figure guy we need to I probably should figure guy we need to I probably should figure out how to use this before we do this out how to use this before we do this out how to use this before we do this test. Um, there we go.
I think that's on test. Um, there we go. I think that's on test.
Um, there we go. I think that's on now. should be drawn somewhere close to about should be drawn somewhere close to about should be drawn somewhere close to about 6,000 watts here cuz we got that's three 6,000 watts here cuz we got that's three 6,000 watts here cuz we got that's three and then that one and that one is three.
and then that one and that one is three. and then that one and that one is three. So that's six.
Yeah, that's six. This So that's six. Yeah, that's six.
This So that's six. Yeah, that's six. This one right here.
Something's not up with one right here. Something's not up with one right here. Something's not up with that.
So, we're just going to forget that. So, we're just going to forget that. So, we're just going to forget about that one for a second.
And then we about that one for a second. And then we about that one for a second. And then we are going to kick on this right here, are going to kick on this right here, are going to kick on this right here, which is uh like I said, compressors.
which is uh like I said, compressors. which is uh like I said, compressors. So, we got uh Makita compressors So, we got uh Makita compressors So, we got uh Makita compressors connected to this.
connected to this. connected to this. gets a little bit noisy.
Now we're gets a little bit noisy. Now we're gets a little bit noisy. Now we're drawing close to drawing close to drawing close to 7200 7,300 watts.
So, looks like we may 7200 7,300 watts. So, looks like we may 7200 7,300 watts. So, looks like we may actually need to kick this on cuz this actually need to kick this on cuz this actually need to kick this on cuz this is connected to shop backs.
Two shop is connected to shop backs. Two shop is connected to shop backs. Two shop backs.
So, let's hit this breaker. There we go. Now, we're drawing breaker.
There we go. Now, we're drawing breaker. There we go.
Now, we're drawing 9,000 8,000. There it goes. About 8,000 9,000 8,000.
There it goes. About 8,000 9,000 8,000. There it goes.
About 8,000 continuous. Let's see how long that can continuous. Let's see how long that can continuous.
Let's see how long that can hold up. hold up. hold up.
as we mess with this induction cooktop as we mess with this induction cooktop as we mess with this induction cooktop for just a little bit for just a little bit for just a little bit more. Okay, let's take a look at this. more.
Okay, let's take a look at this. more. Okay, let's take a look at this.
So, from here, we're drawing close So, from here, we're drawing close So, from here, we're drawing close to 180 amps to 180 amps to 180 amps out. Not too bad, but 180 amps out. out.
Not too bad, but 180 amps out. out. Not too bad, but 180 amps out.
Really want to get this to work. Uh, but right now, we're still work. Uh, but right now, we're still work.
Uh, but right now, we're still drawing close to 8,000 watts continuous. drawing close to 8,000 watts continuous. drawing close to 8,000 watts continuous.
We got pretty much all the lows I can We got pretty much all the lows I can We got pretty much all the lows I can get in this house going. After some get in this house going. After some get in this house going.
After some trial and error, I think I figured out trial and error, I think I figured out trial and error, I think I figured out what the issue was. The issue was the what the issue was. The issue was the what the issue was.
The issue was the pot wasn't induction ready. So now we pot wasn't induction ready. So now we pot wasn't induction ready.
So now we got a new pot all queasin our stuff. And got a new pot all queasin our stuff. And got a new pot all queasin our stuff.
And that one does seem to be magnetic or the that one does seem to be magnetic or the that one does seem to be magnetic or the mag magnet stick to it. So let's try mag magnet stick to it. So let's try mag magnet stick to it.
So let's try this again. Some of these are already this again. Some of these are already this again.
Some of these are already hot, but you know, let's go ahead and hot, but you know, let's go ahead and hot, but you know, let's go ahead and try it again. Uh so let's go ahead and try it again. Uh so let's go ahead and try it again.
Uh so let's go ahead and start with this resistive heater here. start with this resistive heater here. start with this resistive heater here.
Get that one on. Crank that one all the Get that one on. Crank that one all the Get that one on.
Crank that one all the way up. There we go. As that one's way up.
There we go. As that one's way up. There we go.
As that one's cranked to 99° and coming up, you'll see cranked to 99° and coming up, you'll see cranked to 99° and coming up, you'll see here we're drawing close to 1500 watts. here we're drawing close to 1500 watts. here we're drawing close to 1500 watts.
Let's go ahead and get this one here Let's go ahead and get this one here Let's go ahead and get this one here started. started. started.
Hopefully. Uh, not again. All right.
Hopefully. Uh, not again. All right.
Hopefully. Uh, not again. All right.
Thought we had it figured out Thought we had it figured out Thought we had it figured out earlier. There we go. Now we are earlier.
There we go. Now we are earlier. There we go.
Now we are cooking. Look at that. Now we got it's cooking.
Look at that. Now we got it's cooking. Look at that.
Now we got it's it's working. I can hear the buzzing or it's working. I can hear the buzzing or it's working.
I can hear the buzzing or the humming from the uh induction the humming from the uh induction the humming from the uh induction cooktop. So now you see here cooktop. So now you see here cooktop.
So now you see here 3200. I'll go ahead and start 3200. I'll go ahead and start 3200.
I'll go ahead and start this electric tea kettle again. Now this electric tea kettle again. Now this electric tea kettle again.
Now we're at we're at we're at 4200. We'll start 4200. We'll start 4200.
We'll start this. Turn that on. Hit it to this.
Turn that on. Hit it to this. Turn that on.
Hit it to boil. So now that's going. Now we're at boil.
So now that's going. Now we're at boil. So now that's going.
Now we're at 6,000. Yeah, that seems right now cuz we 6,000. Yeah, that seems right now cuz we 6,000.
Yeah, that seems right now cuz we got 1500 there. 1,500. 1,500,500.
got 1500 there. 1,500. 1,500,500.
got 1500 there. 1,500. 1,500,500.
So that's 6,000. Let's hit this guy. Hit So that's 6,000.
Let's hit this guy. Hit So that's 6,000. Let's hit this guy.
Hit that on to boil that on to boil that on to boil water at water at water at 460. Now we're cooking with close 460. Now we're cooking with close 460.
Now we're cooking with close to 76 close to 7700, I guess, right to 76 close to 7700, I guess, right to 76 close to 7700, I guess, right there. So this right here, as I remember there. So this right here, as I remember there.
So this right here, as I remember as told you earlier, is the uh Makita as told you earlier, is the uh Makita as told you earlier, is the uh Makita compressor. So this uh is connected to compressor. So this uh is connected to compressor.
So this uh is connected to that. Let's go ahead and kick that on that. Let's go ahead and kick that on that.
Let's go ahead and kick that on and see what happens. Because remember, and see what happens. Because remember, and see what happens.
Because remember, this thing is only rated for about 8,000 this thing is only rated for about 8,000 this thing is only rated for about 8,000 continuous at the current temperature. continuous at the current temperature. continuous at the current temperature.
It's getting warm in here. We got It's getting warm in here. We got It's getting warm in here.
We got heaters and water boiler. So, let's see heaters and water boiler. So, let's see heaters and water boiler.
So, let's see how it works when we kick this how it works when we kick this how it works when we kick this on. I'm going to flip this right here so on. I'm going to flip this right here so on.
I'm going to flip this right here so you can see it. it. it.
9,000. I don't know how long it can hold 9,000. I don't know how long it can hold 9,000.
I don't know how long it can hold it for. Oh, dropped to about 8,000. Let me make sure all of these are still Let me make sure all of these are still Let me make sure all of these are still on.
They're still boiling on. They're still boiling on. They're still boiling water.
That one's still going. That's water. That one's still going.
That's water. That one's still going. That's going.
So, that peak 9,000 may have been going. So, that peak 9,000 may have been going. So, that peak 9,000 may have been just the uh the energy needed to kick just the uh the energy needed to kick just the uh the energy needed to kick the compressors on.
So, right now, we're the compressors on. So, right now, we're the compressors on. So, right now, we're starting at about 8 or we're holding starting at about 8 or we're holding starting at about 8 or we're holding 8,000 continuous.
Let's let's do that 8,000 continuous. Let's let's do that 8,000 continuous. Let's let's do that again.
Let's break that off again. again. Let's break that off again.
again. Let's break that off again. So, now we're dropping down to about 76 So, now we're dropping down to about 76 So, now we're dropping down to about 76 7700.
Let me kick it again. See if that compressor 8,000. Yeah, it peaks up for compressor 8,000.
Yeah, it peaks up for compressor 8,000. Yeah, it peaks up for a minute and then it comes back down to a minute and then it comes back down to a minute and then it comes back down to about 8,000 continuous. So, according to the specs, even though So, according to the specs, even though So, according to the specs, even though it's really warm in it's really warm in it's really warm in here, this is holding um at its rated here, this is holding um at its rated here, this is holding um at its rated spec.
Let's see what happens when we add spec. Let's see what happens when we add spec. Let's see what happens when we add two shop backs to the mix.
The shop two shop backs to the mix. The shop two shop backs to the mix. The shop backs has a pretty good inductive load backs has a pretty good inductive load backs has a pretty good inductive load cuz they don't have a soft start on them cuz they don't have a soft start on them cuz they don't have a soft start on them or anything like that.
So, let's flip or anything like that. So, let's flip or anything like that. So, let's flip this breaker this breaker this breaker here and see what happens.
Here we go. here and see what happens. Here we go.
here and see what happens. Here we go. Watch this.
9700. Oh, there it goes. Looks like it 9700.
Oh, there it goes. Looks like it 9700. Oh, there it goes.
Looks like it kicked out. You can see right kicked out. You can see right kicked out.
You can see right here. here. here.
Overload. Also, the low battery light is Overload. Also, the low battery light is Overload.
Also, the low battery light is on. So, let's go see what's going on on. So, let's go see what's going on on.
So, let's go see what's going on with that. Oh, the alarm is here. So, I with that.
Oh, the alarm is here. So, I with that. Oh, the alarm is here.
So, I don't think it was maybe an issue with don't think it was maybe an issue with don't think it was maybe an issue with the inverter. It seems like it was an the inverter. It seems like it was an the inverter.
It seems like it was an issue with the battery. mainly because issue with the battery. mainly because issue with the battery.
mainly because uh I believe this battery is only rated uh I believe this battery is only rated uh I believe this battery is only rated to put out about 2,000 or not 2, 200 to put out about 2,000 or not 2, 200 to put out about 2,000 or not 2, 200 amps continuous and we were already up amps continuous and we were already up amps continuous and we were already up on that limit earlier. So you can see on that limit earlier. So you can see on that limit earlier.
So you can see here the alarm is going off here and here the alarm is going off here and here the alarm is going off here and this alarm is going off. So what we'll this alarm is going off. So what we'll this alarm is going off.
So what we'll do, let's cut some of this off so it do, let's cut some of this off so it do, let's cut some of this off so it doesn't come on doesn't come on doesn't come on automatically. We will restart. Turn automatically.
We will restart. Turn automatically. We will restart.
Turn that off. We'll turn off this BMS down that off. We'll turn off this BMS down that off.
We'll turn off this BMS down here. Something's still beeping. Let's go here.
We'll flip this beeping. Let's go here. We'll flip this beeping.
Let's go here. We'll flip this back back back on. This breaker here is still on.
So, on. This breaker here is still on. So, on.
This breaker here is still on. So, let's go ahead and flip let's go ahead and flip let's go ahead and flip that. So, it looks like we may have to that.
So, it looks like we may have to that. So, it looks like we may have to try this again with more battery try this again with more battery try this again with more battery capacity. capacity.
capacity. Uh but it seems right up there that Uh but it seems right up there that Uh but it seems right up there that pairing one of these which is rated for pairing one of these which is rated for pairing one of these which is rated for 200 continuous with one of these is 200 continuous with one of these is 200 continuous with one of these is actually perfect because you know the actually perfect because you know the actually perfect because you know the output power limiting this battery is output power limiting this battery is output power limiting this battery is going to be the maximum capacity of this going to be the maximum capacity of this going to be the maximum capacity of this Victron Quattro inverter. So maybe Victron Quattro inverter.
So maybe Victron Quattro inverter. So maybe that's a good pairing there. So as we that's a good pairing there.
So as we that's a good pairing there. So as we said there look at that coming back on. said there look at that coming back on.
said there look at that coming back on. Let's go ahead Let's go ahead Let's go ahead and see what the sero here says right and see what the sero here says right and see what the sero here says right there. Alarm high discharge current.
there. Alarm high discharge current. there.
Alarm high discharge current. That's exactly what it says. High That's exactly what it says.
High That's exactly what it says. High discharge discharge discharge current. Yep.
High discharge current. current. Yep.
High discharge current. current. Yep.
High discharge current. That's what we got. Let's go ahead and That's what we got.
Let's go ahead and That's what we got. Let's go ahead and close all of these. So, let's go back to close all of these.
So, let's go back to close all of these. So, let's go back to pages. There we go.
Let's make sure pages. There we go. Let's make sure pages.
There we go. Let's make sure everything's still good to come on. On everything's still good to come on.
On everything's still good to come on. On on. That's going again.
It's a little on. That's going again. It's a little on.
That's going again. It's a little fan here. It's really an air purifier, fan here.
It's really an air purifier, fan here. It's really an air purifier, but it's a small little fan there. That but it's a small little fan there.
That but it's a small little fan there. That water boiler's going water boiler's going water boiler's going again. This is going again.
That's going again. Turn that on. Boil water.
That's again. Turn that on. Boil water.
That's again. Turn that on. Boil water.
That's going again. going again. going again.
So, we got pretty much all the loads So, we got pretty much all the loads So, we got pretty much all the loads going again. 7600 watts. The the electric T again.
7600 watts. The the electric T again. 7600 watts.
The the electric T kettle cut off cuz it reached kettle cut off cuz it reached kettle cut off cuz it reached temperature. So, maybe we'll go ahead temperature. So, maybe we'll go ahead temperature.
So, maybe we'll go ahead and kick this on. That brings us back to about 7,000. on.
That brings us back to about 7,000. on. That brings us back to about 7,000.
It can hold 7,000 continuous. Let's see It can hold 7,000 continuous. Let's see It can hold 7,000 continuous.
Let's see what's happening here. You can go in what's happening here. You can go in what's happening here.
You can go in here and see according to here and see according to here and see according to this indoor wall mount battery, we're this indoor wall mount battery, we're this indoor wall mount battery, we're still pulling about 176 175 continuous still pulling about 176 175 continuous still pulling about 176 175 continuous as you can see as you can see as you can see there. 154 now since some of that stuff there. 154 now since some of that stuff there.
154 now since some of that stuff cut off. But let's see what it actually cut off. But let's see what it actually cut off.
But let's see what it actually says here. You can see on here the touch says here. You can see on here the touch says here.
You can see on here the touch uh the battery EG4 indoor wall mount uh the battery EG4 indoor wall mount uh the battery EG4 indoor wall mount battery is putting out about 153 battery is putting out about 153 battery is putting out about 153 continuous 54 continuous 8,000 watts continuous 54 continuous 8,000 watts continuous 54 continuous 8,000 watts coming out of that coming out of that coming out of that battery. Let's see. You can look at it battery.
Let's see. You can look at it battery. Let's see.
You can look at it also this way if you wanted to go look also this way if you wanted to go look also this way if you wanted to go look at it here. So it seems to work really at it here. So it seems to work really at it here.
So it seems to work really well. I mean just restarting things when well. I mean just restarting things when well.
I mean just restarting things when things kick out or get overloaded. It's things kick out or get overloaded. It's things kick out or get overloaded.
It's pretty standard practice. But it's pretty standard practice. But it's pretty standard practice.
But it's getting really warm in here with all the getting really warm in here with all the getting really warm in here with all the water boiling in this heater. So, I'm water boiling in this heater. So, I'm water boiling in this heater.
So, I'm going to wrap this test up. So, some of going to wrap this test up. So, some of going to wrap this test up.
So, some of that testing didn't go exactly as that testing didn't go exactly as that testing didn't go exactly as planned, but we were able to get it planned, but we were able to get it planned, but we were able to get it loaded up to close to about 10,000 loaded up to close to about 10,000 loaded up to close to about 10,000 watts. And remember, this thing here is watts. And remember, this thing here is watts.
And remember, this thing here is rated in V8, which is volt ampers. So, rated in V8, which is volt ampers. So, rated in V8, which is volt ampers.
So, here we use 10,000 or close to 10,000 here we use 10,000 or close to 10,000 here we use 10,000 or close to 10,000 watts, which is more real power versus watts, which is more real power versus watts, which is more real power versus reactive power. But we did test it with reactive power. But we did test it with reactive power.
But we did test it with a lot of inductive loads. And being a a lot of inductive loads. And being a a lot of inductive loads.
And being a low frequency transformer-based low frequency transformer-based low frequency transformer-based inverter, I don't think it's going to inverter, I don't think it's going to inverter, I don't think it's going to have any issues with peaking, right? Cuz have any issues with peaking, right? Cuz have any issues with peaking, right?
Cuz as we saw earlier, we were using as we saw earlier, we were using as we saw earlier, we were using induction cooktops. The resistant loads induction cooktops. The resistant loads induction cooktops.
The resistant loads are actually very low, but the uh what are actually very low, but the uh what are actually very low, but the uh what do you call it? The shop vac and the uh do you call it? The shop vac and the uh do you call it?
The shop vac and the uh compressors. It was able to start up compressors. It was able to start up compressors.
It was able to start up without an issue. We only ran into it without an issue. We only ran into it without an issue.
We only ran into it kicking out or overloading mainly kicking out or overloading mainly kicking out or overloading mainly because the battery was only rated to do because the battery was only rated to do because the battery was only rated to do uh 200 continuous, right? So maybe we uh 200 continuous, right? So maybe we uh 200 continuous, right?
So maybe we can revisit this test after we add up or can revisit this test after we add up or can revisit this test after we add up or wire up some additional capacity. So so wire up some additional capacity. So so wire up some additional capacity.
So so far I would say when we've been using far I would say when we've been using far I would say when we've been using the inverter just odd jobs and stuff the inverter just odd jobs and stuff the inverter just odd jobs and stuff inside the garage, it's been really nice inside the garage, it's been really nice inside the garage, it's been really nice because there's a source of power that because there's a source of power that because there's a source of power that doesn't exist right here on this wall. doesn't exist right here on this wall. doesn't exist right here on this wall.
Now it does. So we can use it to start Now it does. So we can use it to start Now it does.
So we can use it to start the shop backs, do start pressure the shop backs, do start pressure the shop backs, do start pressure washers and do stuff and clean that. So, washers and do stuff and clean that. So, washers and do stuff and clean that.
So, uh, it seemed to work really well. I'm uh, it seemed to work really well. I'm uh, it seemed to work really well.
I'm actually really, really happy with this actually really, really happy with this actually really, really happy with this inverter. And if anybody wants this inverter. And if anybody wants this inverter.
And if anybody wants this inverter, I would highly recommend inverter, I would highly recommend inverter, I would highly recommend anything pretty much made by Victron. anything pretty much made by Victron. anything pretty much made by Victron.

If you're wondering what else can this you're wondering what else can this you're wondering what else can this power, that's exactly the question going power, that's exactly the question going power, that's exactly the question going through my head. Unfortunately, because through my head. Unfortunately, because through my head.
Unfortunately, because this is only 120 volt inverter, we can't this is only 120 volt inverter, we can't this is only 120 volt inverter, we can't put 240 loads on it, which is, you know, put 240 loads on it, which is, you know, put 240 loads on it, which is, you know, like central air and stuff like that. like central air and stuff like that. like central air and stuff like that.
But I w I did use it with a 128 uh what But I w I did use it with a 128 uh what But I w I did use it with a 128 uh what do you call it? Uh volt uh titanium do you call it? Uh volt uh titanium do you call it?
Uh volt uh titanium Harbor Freight inverter or not inverter, Harbor Freight inverter or not inverter, Harbor Freight inverter or not inverter, the welder, the MIG welder. So that the welder, the MIG welder. So that the welder, the MIG welder.
So that seemed to work really well. Uh I'm seemed to work really well. Uh I'm seemed to work really well.
Uh I'm sorry, not the MIG, the flux core sorry, not the MIG, the flux core sorry, not the MIG, the flux core welder. So that one seemed to work welder. So that one seemed to work welder.
So that one seemed to work really well. We were able to use it to really well. We were able to use it to really well.
We were able to use it to weld up uh small pieces of sheet metal weld up uh small pieces of sheet metal weld up uh small pieces of sheet metal to get that going again. So, uh wel 120 to get that going again. So, uh wel 120 to get that going again.
