Hey, what's back to the channel and Hey, what's back to the channel and Hey, what's back to the channel and probably part two or even part three of probably part two or even part three of probably part two or even part three of this load test. So, in the previous this load test. So, in the previous this load test.
So, in the previous test, we used this Victron Quattro 120 test, we used this Victron Quattro 120 test, we used this Victron Quattro 120 volt singlephase inverter with this auto volt singlephase inverter with this auto volt singlephase inverter with this auto transformer to put 240 volt uh load test transformer to put 240 volt uh load test transformer to put 240 volt uh load test using this load panel. But we ran into using this load panel. But we ran into using this load panel.
But we ran into an issue which was battery capacity an issue which was battery capacity an issue which was battery capacity because the battery we were using was because the battery we were using was because the battery we were using was only rated for about 200 amps output. only rated for about 200 amps output. only rated for about 200 amps output.
So, in this case, we added another So, in this case, we added another So, in this case, we added another battery, which is this uh ecoorthy 3U battery, which is this uh ecoorthy 3U battery, which is this uh ecoorthy 3U rack mount battery. And we're going to rack mount battery. And we're going to rack mount battery.
And we're going to revisit this load test to see if we can revisit this load test to see if we can revisit this load test to see if we can put maybe even more load on this system put maybe even more load on this system put maybe even more load on this system to try to figure out, you know, how well to try to figure out, you know, how well to try to figure out, you know, how well does it work before the battery capacity does it work before the battery capacity does it work before the battery capacity cuts out. So, if you're interested in cuts out. So, if you're interested in cuts out.
So, if you're interested in that, stick with us. All right. So, we're not going to go All right.
So, we're not going to go All right. So, we're not going to go over everything and explain all the over everything and explain all the over everything and explain all the connections again because we did that in connections again because we did that in connections again because we did that in probably the first Victron uh load test probably the first Victron uh load test probably the first Victron uh load test video and the second one with the uh video and the second one with the uh video and the second one with the uh auto transformer. So, in this test, I'm auto transformer.
So, in this test, I'm auto transformer. So, in this test, I'm only going to show you what's different only going to show you what's different only going to show you what's different versus the other two tests that we used. versus the other two tests that we used.
versus the other two tests that we used. Right? So what's different is actually Right?
So what's different is actually Right? So what's different is actually we have this ecoorthy uh 3U rack mount we have this ecoorthy uh 3U rack mount we have this ecoorthy uh 3U rack mount battery which is now connected in battery which is now connected in battery which is now connected in parallel using these uh parallel connect parallel using these uh parallel connect parallel using these uh parallel connect powerp pro parallel connectors with this powerp pro parallel connectors with this powerp pro parallel connectors with this battery here. So this battery I think is battery here.
So this battery I think is battery here. So this battery I think is rated for 200 amps out and this battery rated for 200 amps out and this battery rated for 200 amps out and this battery I think is rated for about 100 amps out I think is rated for about 100 amps out I think is rated for about 100 amps out continuous. So therefore we should have continuous.
So therefore we should have continuous. So therefore we should have 300 amps of continuous output capacity. 300 amps of continuous output capacity.
300 amps of continuous output capacity. So let's get testing under way. The one So let's get testing under way.
The one So let's get testing under way. The one thing I learned about this battery is thing I learned about this battery is thing I learned about this battery is that it does not have a pre-charge uh that it does not have a pre-charge uh that it does not have a pre-charge uh circuit or cycle to charge everything circuit or cycle to charge everything circuit or cycle to charge everything up. So, we're actually going to turn up.
So, we're actually going to turn up. So, we're actually going to turn this one on last and we're going to use this one on last and we're going to use this one on last and we're going to use this battery to do the uh turn charge this battery to do the uh turn charge this battery to do the uh turn charge power on cycle. So, that's on.
This power on cycle. So, that's on. This power on cycle.
So, that's on. This breaker is on. We're going to hit sorry breaker is on.
We're going to hit sorry breaker is on. We're going to hit sorry move move move that going to hit that switch. That way that going to hit that switch.
That way that going to hit that switch. That way it goes to the pre-charge cycle and it it goes to the pre-charge cycle and it it goes to the pre-charge cycle and it should power should power should power up. There you go.
So now you should hear up. There you go. So now you should hear up.
There you go. So now you should hear that it is actually powered on. So now that it is actually powered on.
So now that it is actually powered on. So now what we're going to do is power on this what we're going to do is power on this what we're going to do is power on this guy. Hit that guy.
Hit that guy. Hit that breaker. Hit that switch.
Turn the BMS on. There we go. Now we should be, you on.
There we go. Now we should be, you on. There we go.
Now we should be, you know, all batteries connected. So next know, all batteries connected. So next know, all batteries connected.
So next thing we're going to do is we are going thing we're going to do is we are going thing we're going to do is we are going to turn on this auto transformer. Power it on. And then we transformer.
Power it on. And then we transformer. Power it on.
And then we will turn on the feed in breaker which will turn on the feed in breaker which will turn on the feed in breaker which is this guy. So now we're feeding this is this guy. So now we're feeding this is this guy.
So now we're feeding this load panel and it's live. What I have load panel and it's live. What I have load panel and it's live.
What I have going in on here with this one uh thing going in on here with this one uh thing going in on here with this one uh thing is just to try to measure how much is is just to try to measure how much is is just to try to measure how much is going on the neutral bus because that's going on the neutral bus because that's going on the neutral bus because that's measuring AC current on that neutral bus measuring AC current on that neutral bus measuring AC current on that neutral bus which is that one coming from the auto which is that one coming from the auto which is that one coming from the auto transformer. So let's start off with transformer. So let's start off with transformer.
So let's start off with using the uh 240 load which is this guy using the uh 240 load which is this guy using the uh 240 load which is this guy right here. This right now, as you can right here. This right now, as you can right here.
This right now, as you can tell, is powering this, which is tell, is powering this, which is tell, is powering this, which is connected to this guy, the EG4 charge connected to this guy, the EG4 charge connected to this guy, the EG4 charge verter as it powers on. Let's see if we verter as it powers on. Let's see if we verter as it powers on.
Let's see if we can get it up to close to 100 amps. can get it up to close to 100 amps. can get it up to close to 100 amps.
We'll watch it as it slowly ramps up. We'll watch it as it slowly ramps up. We'll watch it as it slowly ramps up.
What it's going to be charging, and I What it's going to be charging, and I What it's going to be charging, and I don't recommend doing this. Like I said, don't recommend doing this. Like I said, don't recommend doing this.
Like I said, this is only set up for load testing this is only set up for load testing this is only set up for load testing reasons. It's going to be reasons. It's going to be reasons.
It's going to be charging this rack of batteries just to, charging this rack of batteries just to, charging this rack of batteries just to, you know, get some load going on it. And you know, get some load going on it. And you know, get some load going on it.
And then what we have is other uh then what we have is other uh then what we have is other uh singlephase loads. So we got that uh singlephase loads. So we got that uh singlephase loads.
So we got that uh three induction cooktops, a heater. I three induction cooktops, a heater. I three induction cooktops, a heater.
I guess we have three, but not a pan on guess we have three, but not a pan on guess we have three, but not a pan on that one. So only two. So let's go see that one.
So only two. So let's go see that one. So only two.
So let's go see this guy ramp up. We're still going to this guy ramp up. We're still going to this guy ramp up.
We're still going to be using this charge uh uh sorry uh what be using this charge uh uh sorry uh what be using this charge uh uh sorry uh what do you call this thing? The Surbo GX do you call this thing? The Surbo GX do you call this thing?
The Surbo GX with the Touch 50, which is this guy with the Touch 50, which is this guy with the Touch 50, which is this guy right here. You can see it's slowly right here. You can see it's slowly right here.
You can see it's slowly ramping up. ramping up. ramping up.
Um, this guy you can see is showing with Um, this guy you can see is showing with Um, this guy you can see is showing with only the charge further going. Sorry, only the charge further going. Sorry, only the charge further going.
Sorry, the angle of this is terrible, but the angle of this is terrible, but the angle of this is terrible, but didn't leave too much slack or slack on didn't leave too much slack or slack on didn't leave too much slack or slack on that neutral line to really get a good that neutral line to really get a good that neutral line to really get a good view of this. But we're pulling about 5 view of this. But we're pulling about 5 view of this.
But we're pulling about 5 amps, close to 5 amps with only the amps, close to 5 amps with only the amps, close to 5 amps with only the charge verter on. So, this is off, charge verter on. So, this is off, charge verter on.
So, this is off, that's off, that's off. All of that is that's off, that's off. All of that is that's off, that's off.
All of that is off. So, there's only 240 coming out and off. So, there's only 240 coming out and off.
So, there's only 240 coming out and we're still pulling close to about 5 we're still pulling close to about 5 we're still pulling close to about 5 amps on the neutral amps on the neutral amps on the neutral bus. 5600 watts. Uh the amps coming out bus.
5600 watts. Uh the amps coming out bus. 5600 watts.
Uh the amps coming out of this battery is not going to be of this battery is not going to be of this battery is not going to be accurate. Uh mainly because the BMS is accurate. Uh mainly because the BMS is accurate.
Uh mainly because the BMS is only connected to this battery. So yes, only connected to this battery. So yes, only connected to this battery.
So yes, the it it's accurate in terms of it's the it it's accurate in terms of it's the it it's accurate in terms of it's measuring this battery capacity, but measuring this battery capacity, but measuring this battery capacity, but what is not accurate is the uh total what is not accurate is the uh total what is not accurate is the uh total battery amperage going into the inverter battery amperage going into the inverter battery amperage going into the inverter because this battery, the EG4 wall mount because this battery, the EG4 wall mount because this battery, the EG4 wall mount battery is in parallel with this EcoFlow battery is in parallel with this EcoFlow battery is in parallel with this EcoFlow or not EcoFlow, Ecoorthy battery, which or not EcoFlow, Ecoorthy battery, which or not EcoFlow, Ecoorthy battery, which is uh if in case you're curious on how is uh if in case you're curious on how is uh if in case you're curious on how it's connected, we got the parallel kit it's connected, we got the parallel kit it's connected, we got the parallel kit with the Dexon connectors. Uh and then with the Dexon connectors. Uh and then with the Dexon connectors.
Uh and then we just bolted that on to this here. A we just bolted that on to this here. A we just bolted that on to this here.
A long story short, I try to switch them long story short, I try to switch them long story short, I try to switch them out, but it it's just too much work out, but it it's just too much work out, but it it's just too much work involved mainly because it's not the involved mainly because it's not the involved mainly because it's not the same size. Got to drill a bigger hole. same size.
Got to drill a bigger hole. same size. Got to drill a bigger hole.
The length of that bus bar on the The length of that bus bar on the The length of that bus bar on the connector is also different. Whole long connector is also different. Whole long connector is also different.
Whole long story. So, we just took a shortcut there story. So, we just took a shortcut there story.
So, we just took a shortcut there this way. Again, do not recommend it. this way.
Again, do not recommend it. this way. Again, do not recommend it.
So, anyways, the inverter right now is So, anyways, the inverter right now is So, anyways, the inverter right now is loaded with 5600 loaded with 5600 loaded with 5600 watts, about 5 amps on the neutral bus. watts, about 5 amps on the neutral bus. watts, about 5 amps on the neutral bus.
Let's go load it up. Right. So, uh, Let's go load it up.
Right. So, uh, Let's go load it up. Right.
So, uh, remember these two guys right here, this remember these two guys right here, this remember these two guys right here, this guy and this guy is on the same leg. guy and this guy is on the same leg. guy and this guy is on the same leg.
This guy is not on the same leg. So, This guy is not on the same leg. So, This guy is not on the same leg.
So, let's just see what happens when we let's just see what happens when we let's just see what happens when we enable this enable this enable this guy. Uh, that guy. Uh, that guy.
Uh, that is this electric tea kettle. And as you is this electric tea kettle. And as you is this electric tea kettle.
And as you can see right here, we are now loading can see right here, we are now loading can see right here, we are now loading 12. 6 amps on the neutral bus. The 12.
6 amps on the neutral bus. The 12. 6 amps on the neutral bus.
The neutral bus is coming from this or neutral bus is coming from this or neutral bus is coming from this or neutral current neutral conductor. It's neutral current neutral conductor. It's neutral current neutral conductor.
It's coming from this auto transformer. Auto coming from this auto transformer. Auto coming from this auto transformer.
Auto transformer is creating that neutral to transformer is creating that neutral to transformer is creating that neutral to get that uh 240 and 120 volt load. And I get that uh 240 and 120 volt load. And I get that uh 240 and 120 volt load.
And I don't know if you can hear it, but the don't know if you can hear it, but the don't know if you can hear it, but the fan is now on here. All right. So, that's 6600 watts.
here. All right. So, that's 6600 watts.
here. All right. So, that's 6600 watts.
Uh this electric tea kettle is going to Uh this electric tea kettle is going to Uh this electric tea kettle is going to boil the water really quick. So, we're boil the water really quick. So, we're boil the water really quick.
So, we're going to have to get this testing going to have to get this testing going to have to get this testing underway pretty quick. Uh what we can do underway pretty quick. Uh what we can do underway pretty quick.
Uh what we can do is enable this guy which is the is enable this guy which is the is enable this guy which is the secondary heater uh or the electric secondary heater uh or the electric secondary heater uh or the electric heater inside the garage here which like heater inside the garage here which like heater inside the garage here which like I said only for testing purposes for a I said only for testing purposes for a I said only for testing purposes for a little bit of safety measure. Let's just little bit of safety measure. Let's just little bit of safety measure.
Let's just move this a little bit. Reduce the heat move this a little bit. Reduce the heat move this a little bit.
Reduce the heat on that. And then now you can see we're on that. And then now you can see we're on that.
And then now you can see we're drawing close to 7800 drawing close to 7800 drawing close to 7800 uh watts. And now we're drawing 22 amps. uh watts.
And now we're drawing 22 amps. uh watts. And now we're drawing 22 amps.
So 22 amps on the neutral current and So 22 amps on the neutral current and So 22 amps on the neutral current and close to I I don't know 15 + 15 is 30 close to I I don't know 15 + 15 is 30 close to I I don't know 15 + 15 is 30 but it's not at max capacity. So let's but it's not at max capacity. So let's but it's not at max capacity.
So let's just say somewhere around 22 24 amps on just say somewhere around 22 24 amps on just say somewhere around 22 24 amps on the neutral bus uh on on one of the legs the neutral bus uh on on one of the legs the neutral bus uh on on one of the legs right now as we saw earlier. 22. All right now as we saw earlier.
22. All right now as we saw earlier. 22.
All right. So now let's try to even it out a right. So now let's try to even it out a right.
So now let's try to even it out a little bit and kick this guy little bit and kick this guy little bit and kick this guy on. That guy turns on this induction on. That guy turns on this induction on.
That guy turns on this induction cooktop. Let's turn that on. We'll turn cooktop.
Let's turn that on. We'll turn cooktop. Let's turn that on.
We'll turn the function to boil water, which I the function to boil water, which I the function to boil water, which I believe is the maximum power that comes believe is the maximum power that comes believe is the maximum power that comes out of uh the induction cooktop. That's out of uh the induction cooktop. That's out of uh the induction cooktop.
That's at at at 460. Now, we are 460. Now, we are 460.
Now, we are cooking 9500 watts continuous and cooking 9500 watts continuous and cooking 9500 watts continuous and uh it says right now 149 amps is coming uh it says right now 149 amps is coming uh it says right now 149 amps is coming out of the EG4 wall mount battery, which out of the EG4 wall mount battery, which out of the EG4 wall mount battery, which is going to be accurate like I mentioned is going to be accurate like I mentioned is going to be accurate like I mentioned because it does have BMS connected. And because it does have BMS connected. And because it does have BMS connected.
And if you remember the video two, the if you remember the video two, the if you remember the video two, the episode before this, uh, at the state episode before this, uh, at the state episode before this, uh, at the state that we're on right now, um, that's when that we're on right now, um, that's when that we're on right now, um, that's when the battery kicked out and everything the battery kicked out and everything the battery kicked out and everything shut off, mainly because we hit the shut off, mainly because we hit the shut off, mainly because we hit the maximum amperage out of this battery. maximum amperage out of this battery. maximum amperage out of this battery.
So, now we're So, now we're So, now we're at 11 amps there. And then let's hit at 11 amps there. And then let's hit at 11 amps there.
And then let's hit another one here, which is going to put another one here, which is going to put another one here, which is going to put us over the uh, what it's rated. us over the uh, what it's rated. us over the uh, what it's rated.
Remember, this inverter is rated for Remember, this inverter is rated for Remember, this inverter is rated for 8,000 continuous at uh 20 20° C or 8,000 continuous at uh 20 20° C or 8,000 continuous at uh 20 20° C or something like that. It's warm in this something like that. It's warm in this something like that.
It's warm in this garage already. It's summer or close to garage already. It's summer or close to garage already.
It's summer or close to summer. So, hit this guy, which powers summer. So, hit this guy, which powers summer.
So, hit this guy, which powers on another induction cooktop, but there on another induction cooktop, but there on another induction cooktop, but there is nothing on that guy. So, here we're is nothing on that guy. So, here we're is nothing on that guy.
So, here we're going to move going to move going to move this. This is why you should not try to this. This is why you should not try to this.
This is why you should not try to do this with one hand and prepare ahead do this with one hand and prepare ahead do this with one hand and prepare ahead of time. So, don't be like me. So, here of time.
So, don't be like me. So, here of time. So, don't be like me.
So, here we're going to hit this guy on, but we're going to hit this guy on, but we're going to hit this guy on, but let's let's ramp it up slowly. This guy let's let's ramp it up slowly. This guy let's let's ramp it up slowly.
This guy is on. Uh, we'll put it is on. Uh, we'll put it is on.
Uh, we'll put it on low heat, I on low heat, I on low heat, I think. I can't tell if that's think. I can't tell if that's think.
I can't tell if that's on. There's another thing where you on. There's another thing where you on.
There's another thing where you should try to prepare ahead of time. should try to prepare ahead of time. should try to prepare ahead of time.
We're at 140°, which is pretty low. We We're at 140°, which is pretty low. We We're at 140°, which is pretty low.
We can ramp it up slowly. can ramp it up slowly. can ramp it up slowly.
10 10,000 10 10,000 10 10,000 watts. Only five amps on the neutral watts. Only five amps on the neutral watts.
Only five amps on the neutral bus because we're balancing it out as bus because we're balancing it out as bus because we're balancing it out as much as possible. Let's ramp that up a much as possible. Let's ramp that up a much as possible.
Let's ramp that up a little bit more to 212. It's kind of little bit more to 212. It's kind of little bit more to 212.
It's kind of coming off weird there, but you can see 212. 212. 212.
10,500. Ramp it up a little bit more. 10,500.
Ramp it up a little bit more. 10,500. Ramp it up a little bit more.
260 300. That's still hovering around That's still hovering around That's still hovering around 10,500. 5 amps on the neutral bus.
All 10,500. 5 amps on the neutral bus. All 10,500.
5 amps on the neutral bus. All right. So, let's see if we can go up to right.
So, let's see if we can go up to right. So, let's see if we can go up to about 460, which is maximum about 460, which is maximum about 460, which is maximum power. Now, we're close to 11,000 watts.
power. Now, we're close to 11,000 watts. power.
Now, we're close to 11,000 watts. Over actually 11,000 watts, actually. And hit the light on that guy.
actually. And hit the light on that guy. actually.
And hit the light on that guy. We're drawing 2 amps on the neutral We're drawing 2 amps on the neutral We're drawing 2 amps on the neutral bus. Two amps.
The Victron is saying it is overloading. The Victron is saying it is overloading. The Victron is saying it is overloading.
So, what we should probably do is kick So, what we should probably do is kick So, what we should probably do is kick some of these guys some of these guys some of these guys off. Let's just kick that off. Kick that off.
Let's just kick that off. Kick that off. Let's just kick that off.
Kick that off real quick. Actually, let's kick off real quick. Actually, let's kick off real quick.
Actually, let's kick this off. Mainly because that's We can hit this back on. Boil that's We can hit this back on.
Boil that's We can hit this back on. Boil water. All right.
So, if we go back, let water. All right. So, if we go back, let water.
All right. So, if we go back, let me see if the alert actually came up me see if the alert actually came up me see if the alert actually came up there. Uh there.
Uh there. Uh notifications 52 that's today. High notifications 52 that's today.
High notifications 52 that's today. High discharge current. So we did hit a high discharge current.
So we did hit a high discharge current. So we did hit a high discharge current but the it did not discharge current but the it did not discharge current but the it did not kick off. The other alerts didn't seem kick off.
The other alerts didn't seem kick off. The other alerts didn't seem like it came in about it overloading. like it came in about it overloading.
like it came in about it overloading. That's That's That's interesting. The quattro is here.
So interesting. The quattro is here. So interesting.
The quattro is here. So actually let's just see what happens if actually let's just see what happens if actually let's just see what happens if we really load it up. Right.
Let's do we really load it up. Right. Let's do we really load it up.
Right. Let's do that again. Let's go back that again.
Let's go back that again. Let's go back here. Let's hit the tea kettle.
here. Let's hit the tea kettle. here.
Let's hit the tea kettle. That's going again. Turn that guy on.
Okay, there's definitely a way to do this. There you this. There you this.
There you go. Bring it back to 11,000 watts. The inverter says it is up watts.
The inverter says it is up watts. The inverter says it is up overheating. I do see it.
or overheating. I do see it. or overheating.
I do see it. or overloading. I overloading.
I overloading. I mean, it really doesn't help that this mean, it really doesn't help that this mean, it really doesn't help that this heater right under it is just pumping heater right under it is just pumping heater right under it is just pumping out hot air into the out hot air into the out hot air into the intake of of the uh uh quattro here. So, intake of of the uh uh quattro here.
So, intake of of the uh uh quattro here. So, that's not ideal. So, don't do that.
that's not ideal. So, don't do that. that's not ideal.
So, don't do that. But, it is taking it. You can even see But, it is taking it.
You can even see But, it is taking it. You can even see on this uh touch uh 50 that the servo is on this uh touch uh 50 that the servo is on this uh touch uh 50 that the servo is reporting on that it is under overload reporting on that it is under overload reporting on that it is under overload conditions with that red light blinking. But the notifications doesn't tell you But the notifications doesn't tell you But the notifications doesn't tell you it's on uh overload.
Still got the high it's on uh overload. Still got the high it's on uh overload. Still got the high discharge but not the overload on the discharge but not the overload on the discharge but not the overload on the quattro.
So that's interesting. But quattro. So that's interesting.
But quattro. So that's interesting. But everything is powered on and it is everything is powered on and it is everything is powered on and it is handling it just fine.
Even though it is handling it just fine. Even though it is handling it just fine. Even though it is saying that it's overloaded.
So uh this saying that it's overloaded. So uh this saying that it's overloaded. So uh this guy temperature re uh not not an issue guy temperature re uh not not an issue guy temperature re uh not not an issue so far.
Uh the neutral bus still only so far. Uh the neutral bus still only so far. Uh the neutral bus still only has about two amps on the neutral bus.
has about two amps on the neutral bus. has about two amps on the neutral bus. Uh so it can take it.
I don't know how Uh so it can take it. I don't know how Uh so it can take it. I don't know how long it can take it, but um it's long it can take it, but um it's long it can take it, but um it's handling it just fine at about 11,000 watts.
All right, so that wasn't the watts. All right, so that wasn't the watts. All right, so that wasn't the best test, but we got pretty far.
We best test, but we got pretty far. We best test, but we got pretty far. We definitely figured out that this quattro definitely figured out that this quattro definitely figured out that this quattro inverter can get up to 11 uh little over inverter can get up to 11 uh little over inverter can get up to 11 uh little over 11K on overload, right?
And still hold 11K on overload, right? And still hold 11K on overload, right? And still hold it for a little bit.
We had to stop the it for a little bit. We had to stop the it for a little bit. We had to stop the test mainly because the electric tea test mainly because the electric tea test mainly because the electric tea kettle actually ended up boiling the kettle actually ended up boiling the kettle actually ended up boiling the water before like it kicked out.
But the water before like it kicked out. But the water before like it kicked out. But the important thing is that uh the Quattro important thing is that uh the Quattro important thing is that uh the Quattro can definitely handle an overload can definitely handle an overload can definitely handle an overload situation for a few minutes.
I'm not situation for a few minutes. I'm not situation for a few minutes. I'm not sure how long it can handle it for, but sure how long it can handle it for, but sure how long it can handle it for, but for a few minutes before it kicks for a few minutes before it kicks for a few minutes before it kicks everything off because even though it everything off because even though it everything off because even though it was overloaded, the uh water was still was overloaded, the uh water was still was overloaded, the uh water was still boiling.
The uh induction cooktops were boiling. The uh induction cooktops were boiling. The uh induction cooktops were still boiling water.
Uh everything was still boiling water. Uh everything was still boiling water. Uh everything was still functioning as perfectly intended still functioning as perfectly intended still functioning as perfectly intended uh under overload conditions.
So I do uh under overload conditions. So I do uh under overload conditions. So I do want to clear up one thing and thank you want to clear up one thing and thank you want to clear up one thing and thank you to the commenter uh on the previous to the commenter uh on the previous to the commenter uh on the previous episode that pointed out that if you episode that pointed out that if you episode that pointed out that if you balance the loads um on the legs then balance the loads um on the legs then balance the loads um on the legs then you don't need to worry about the total you don't need to worry about the total you don't need to worry about the total current on the uh neutral bus main current on the uh neutral bus main current on the uh neutral bus main because because you're balancing it that because because you're balancing it that because because you're balancing it that as you're balancing it the the imbalance as you're balancing it the the imbalance as you're balancing it the the imbalance comes gets closer to zero.
So it's only comes gets closer to zero. So it's only comes gets closer to zero. So it's only a uh net sum or or a difference the a uh net sum or or a difference the a uh net sum or or a difference the difference of the imbalance if that difference of the imbalance if that difference of the imbalance if that makes sense.
So if you have 15 amps on makes sense. So if you have 15 amps on makes sense. So if you have 15 amps on one leg and 15 amps on another leg then one leg and 15 amps on another leg then one leg and 15 amps on another leg then you're pretty much imbalance zero is you're pretty much imbalance zero is you're pretty much imbalance zero is that you know reality probably not.
But that you know reality probably not. But that you know reality probably not. But the point is, if you wanted to use this the point is, if you wanted to use this the point is, if you wanted to use this guy or any 120 volt uh singlephase guy or any 120 volt uh singlephase guy or any 120 volt uh singlephase inverter with this auto transformer, you inverter with this auto transformer, you inverter with this auto transformer, you can load up a load center with a 240 can load up a load center with a 240 can load up a load center with a 240 volt uh and a split phase and many volt uh and a split phase and many volt uh and a split phase and many single single legs.
As long as you wire single single legs. As long as you wire single single legs. As long as you wire it all up and use the loads or manage it all up and use the loads or manage it all up and use the loads or manage your loads properly, then you can get a your loads properly, then you can get a your loads properly, then you can get a lot of 120 volt loads and a lot of 240 lot of 120 volt loads and a lot of 240 lot of 120 volt loads and a lot of 240 volt loads perfectly fine.
So, thank you volt loads perfectly fine. So, thank you volt loads perfectly fine. So, thank you to the comment uh member or commenter on to the comment uh member or commenter on to the comment uh member or commenter on the previous episode for pointing that the previous episode for pointing that the previous episode for pointing that out.
I do really appreciate that. We're out. I do really appreciate that.
We're out. I do really appreciate that. We're all here to learn.
So, that's definitely all here to learn. So, that's definitely all here to learn. So, that's definitely a good learning experience.
So, that's a good learning experience. So, that's a good learning experience. So, that's very interesting.
So, make sure you very interesting. So, make sure you very interesting. So, make sure you balance the loads as much as possible balance the loads as much as possible balance the loads as much as possible and you will be solid and good to go.
and you will be solid and good to go. and you will be solid and good to go. The one thing we found out was the Serbo The one thing we found out was the Serbo The one thing we found out was the Serbo uh GX, which is actually down here, but uh GX, which is actually down here, but uh GX, which is actually down here, but the Touch 50 was not alerting the Touch 50 was not alerting the Touch 50 was not alerting technically, no notifications that the technically, no notifications that the technically, no notifications that the in the inverter was on overload.
Um, in the inverter was on overload. Um, in the inverter was on overload. Um, even though on the Touch 50 you could even though on the Touch 50 you could even though on the Touch 50 you could see that red light flashing on the Touch see that red light flashing on the Touch see that red light flashing on the Touch 50.
So that's something interesting. I 50. So that's something interesting.
I 50. So that's something interesting. I thought that maybe there would be like a thought that maybe there would be like a thought that maybe there would be like a notification popup or something like notification popup or something like notification popup or something like that, especially because there was that, especially because there was that, especially because there was notification popups notification popups notification popups of the uh EG4 battery under high of the uh EG4 battery under high of the uh EG4 battery under high discharge conditions, right?
So um it discharge conditions, right? So um it discharge conditions, right? So um it did have that, but it didn't have the did have that, but it didn't have the did have that, but it didn't have the overload of that.
So that's very overload of that. So that's very overload of that. So that's very interesting.
If you're interested in how interesting. If you're interested in how interesting. If you're interested in how all of this stuff was wired up for the all of this stuff was wired up for the all of this stuff was wired up for the test, go check out the first video or test, go check out the first video or test, go check out the first video or second video, I think, and you can kind second video, I think, and you can kind second video, I think, and you can kind of figure that out.
But the important of figure that out. But the important of figure that out. But the important thing is that we learned that this guy thing is that we learned that this guy thing is that we learned that this guy can take a lot.
So, what's going to be can take a lot. So, what's going to be can take a lot. So, what's going to be super interesting coming up is when we super interesting coming up is when we super interesting coming up is when we add another one, then we're really going add another one, then we're really going add another one, then we're really going to have to amp up the batteries because to have to amp up the batteries because to have to amp up the batteries because this one uh that's connected in parallel this one uh that's connected in parallel this one uh that's connected in parallel is not going to be enough this and this is not going to be enough this and this is not going to be enough this and this to power both quattros.
That's going to to power both quattros. That's going to to power both quattros. That's going to be a lot of power we're talking about.
be a lot of power we're talking about. be a lot of power we're talking about. So, if you want to know more about So, if you want to know more about So, if you want to know more about that, stay tuned and then we'll, you that, stay tuned and then we'll, you that, stay tuned and then we'll, you know, get to that at some part in the know, get to that at some part in the know, get to that at some part in the middle, some part later.
So, hopefully middle, some part later. So, hopefully middle, some part later. So, hopefully this video helped you guys out.
Have a this video helped you guys out. Have a this video helped you guys out. Have a great day.
Get back to work and we'll great day. Get back to work and we'll great day. Get back to work and we'll see you guys next time.
see you guys next time. see you guys next time.
