If Your Portable Power Station Was On PowMr Steroids

[@mickwolf1077]

I was looking at one of those inverters but chose a growatt. I wonder if your pv input current limit is an actual limit or just what the inverter can use. The renogy rover li 60a mppt i use can have extra current going in and it'll clip excess and use the max to get 60a output, great for cloudy days.

[@travishodges5179]

Problems with unit, when on battery it won’t charge from ac. So when charging on ac and you have a max ac charge set(let’s say 10) and a max combined (say 60), and solar maxed out, result, regardless of the ac current set it will still charge at the combined max current rate! When you attach AC it automatically diverted the loads to grid and then wants to charge at max current when solar is present

Nice! Starting to dabble in the High voltage! I'm the guy with the 500 volt battery. It's been a journey...

[@ericklein5097]

Just out of curiosity is there some kind of efficiency bonus to getting a similar or higher voltage than the voltage on the output of your inverter? I know DC to DC a buck converter is more efficient but I don’t know how inverters work. I know Will preaches higher voltage=thinner gauge wire for the same kw output and with 4/0 at like $5 a foot that adds up quick when you can run EVERYTHING on 2AWG if you stay under 125 Amps. 48V batteries (40V to 58V) will still be fine if you’re with at the bottom of the voltage and trying to push 5000W but you might want to bump that up to 1/0. Does anyone really have a need for transferring more than 5kw on these kinds of systems?

[@SiriusSolar]

@@ericklein5097 yes there are some efficiency gained by having your battery voltage closer to your ac voltage. But I think there's bigger gains to be had elsewhere like in the quality of the components and design. My 6 KW inverter uses between 15 and 30 idle consumption which I think is pretty freaking good compared to anything else I've ever seen for a 6 KW inverter.

[@SiriusSolar]

@@ericklein5097 But the AC waveform does go from zero up to 120 and back and forth so it's not just cut and dry like use a 120 volt battery. In fact the AC waveform goes far higher than 120. The 120 is just sort of like the average voltage. It actually gets up 170 volts at the top of the wave.

Man you are talented with this and i could sure use some advice on my 3000 watt powmr all in one. Do you know how the ground neautral bonding works with this unit? I have a 30 amp female camper plug in the ac output. I have my camper plugged into it. I have my house wired into the ac input. When it is running my camper it shows like 40 volts thru my camper frame and its something to do with the inverter because the frame is not got current going thru it when i plug camper directly into the house. Any suggestions on this is greatly appreciated. Thankyou

[@BeeneEnergy]

I think you missed my question last time I asked. If the camper is plugged into the inverter and the inverter is plugged into the house does that eliminate the stray voltage? Aka does the unit need to be grounded instead of floating.

[@matthewknight5641]

@@BeeneEnergyyes camper plugged into inverter and inverter plugged into house. It has stray voltage into camper frame. It doesn't matter if it's plugged into house or unplugged it still has stray voltage into camper frame. I'm sure it's something with inverter because if I plug camper directly into house the camper frame is no longer got the 40 volts going thru it. I might need to bond the neutral to the ground but I didn't want the ground loop thing I see so much about. I'm kinda thinking it needs the ground neutral bond and I think it might be an open neutral or open ground even while the inverter is plugged into the house. I figured it would use the house ground but it doesn't seem to be grounded at all even when in bypass or solar or battery mode. It's all extremely confusing to me but hopefully before long I can get it together without shocking me when it rains lol. That's how I first realized there was a problem was when it was raining and I tried going into my camper

[@matthewknight5641]

@@BeeneEnergy I thought the inverter would use the house ground when it's plugged into house but its the same stray voltage plugged in or not. And in any mode in settings. I guess I'll try bonding the neutral and ground and putting ground rod in ground next to the camper and see if that fixes it. I'm kinda scared of the ac side of things but I gotta get this figured out. I have stage 4 cancer and I'm needing this thing making power so me and the wife has electricity if I get more sick ya know. I have a lot invested into trying to make sure we are ok if times get hard so once I get this figured out I'm gonna try to upgrade my batteries to lifepo4. I'm using 24 nissan leaf modules in 24 volt configuration at the moment but they don't have a bms so hopefully I can get safe bank of batteries and our system should be complete. Thanks for talking to me about the ground issues. I watch all your videos and I've learned alot from you

[@BeeneEnergy]

@@matthewknight5641 With the 5000w version I noticed something similar but it was resolved by plugging the ac source to ground. I presume neutral and ground are bonded at the house so bonding them at the inverter would only throw off the GFCI breaker upstream. I'm at a loss as to why it's causing an issue.

[@matthewknight5641]

@@BeeneEnergy I'm also at a loss. I've spoke to a guy Roland and he's a genius with this electrical issue. I'm gonna try a few things then do some tests and maybe it'll get fixed. I'll let you know what it took to correct this problem and if I get get the problem fixed then I'll be looking to buy another inverter. I should have gotten a 48 volt 5000 watt or 6000 watt in inverter to begin with but I was just starting out and didn't know the difference at the time.

[@Philip8888888]

With the PV current input limitation, is it OK to have a greater amount of current come in through the PV (oversize PV) and the unit just clips or is it a hard limit that shouldn't be exceeded?

[@BeeneEnergy]

It’s not something I’ve tested. But the consensus in general is it just won’t pull more than the max. The manual for this unit just doesn’t explicitly state that unlike a solark or other nicer inverter charger.

Hello! Thank you for this video. I’ve been going back and forth between the inverter that you have and the Growatt SPF5000ES. On paper they look similar to me, would you recommend this inverter over the Growatt?

[@BeeneEnergy]

Will you need 240v? What about paralleling for more capacity? The growatt also has 100a charging instead of 80. Both are good units but some different use cases.

[@darshanags]

@@BeeneEnergy Sorry, I should have made it more clearer previously. I'm outside of the US and mains power is 230v. I'm planning on setting up a off-grid system for my house. I was looking at the PowMr pow-hvm5.5k-48v-p and the Growatt SPF5000ES. Thinking of using one unit at at the beginning and hoping to expand up to 15KW with 3 units in parallel. As you pointed out, the Growatt has 100A MPPT charge current. Max PV input voltage is 500V on the PowMr vs 450V on the Growatt. I have zero experience with either of these brands and I was looking to see if you had any issues/reliability problems with PowMr vs. Growatt. Thank you!

@@tsp2jxd Thanks! No other feedback yet, was going to play with it more this week but with the cold snap I'd rather be cozy in the house not at the warehouse! I'll be doing some stress testing and likely be doing another video to report back on my findings. The 500v input with a 120v inverter is something the other brands haven't offered yet. Of course the 250/300vdc of the spf 3000tl lvm-es from growatt is close and a reasonable offering especially since it can stack. So far I see value in both. Would be cool to hook this up to an RV that has both rooftop AC units running off it. I think it would run both at the same time.

[@tsp2jxd]

@@BeeneEnergy this is my dilemma. Been looking at these two inverters you mentioned but also want the Growatt 6000 low voltage off grid inverter. My pool pump requires just under 10amps 1.5hp and I don't know if either of the above will run it. Also, not sure if the 6000 low voltage will be good because I won't have a large battery or array. 2k or less PV and 5.1kw battery at best. Will the 6000 low voltage be a better option?

[@BeeneEnergy]

@@tsp2jxd Pool pumps are usually 240v aren’t they? Yeah starting a pump that big with an inverter is gonna be tough. You might want to look at a low frequency inverter to support better surge current, if I’m thinking of the same one the 6kw growatt is a low frequency and would likely be a better bet.

I have not messed with the powmr hybrid. Likely it’s a re badged product of another name so you might be able to find data on it if you can find what it is. Usually ac coupled inverters have to go into the generator port of the hybrid inverter. But some allow the ac coupled inverter on the load output like you are talking about.

Have you set up you 4 12v lithium batteries in series? Battery manufacturers tell you not to connect in series due to BMS issues. Once one battery gets to full charge it cuts of.....so your other batteries never reach full charge.

Yep, it’s important to top balance the four before putting into such a configuration. Also they can still drift so if it’s four individual batteries having a balancer between the four would be a good idea. I bought one for this purpose but haven’t done any long term testing to see how/if it’s a big deal. TLDR good thoughts! And I think they are valid and can be overcome with a little effort.

[@chrislewis9345]

On a string of panels at or near 450vdc going to a growatt 5000es. would you ground the array and mount to ground rod? Also fuse/breaker the positive and negative pv wires or just the positive to isolate the rest of the system from lightning or an electrical short in the array? Inline fuses or breakers?

[@BeeneEnergy]

My understanding is that a ground mount array should be grounded to its own ground rod. It would not share a ground with the inverter. I believe that would be panels plus ground mount. Fuse/breaker is only there for convenience, with a single string you’ll never see more than the short circuit current rating of the panels. Lightning arrestor? That would be a fair question I don’t have an answer to. The breaker I’m using does break both positive and negative of the solar string. No specific reason for it though I’ve noticed that solar disconnects tend to do that so there’s probably a reason.

[@diysolaradventures7894]

I'm looking at an inverter I'm thinking about buying it's a 230-40v inverter my concern is on the ac 230v output it only has 2 terminals line and neutral there's no ground the input terminal have 3 lines ground neutral & line is this inverter ok to buy ? With only a 2 line output??

[@wildness01]

have you tested your batteries @ worst case scenario...IE full inverter load until low voltage cut out? I have a 4s 2p pack of these on a growatt 6000t, and before I install at my customers residence I wanted to test at worst case, but the bms's won't take it, I ve blown the mosfets off 3 bms's even after fully balancing the packs. seller has been great with warantee but mainly wondering if it's just me, or an inherent problem. individual batteries on a standalone 12v system have passed much tougher testing w/o failure for me, so I'm assuming it's the 48v @ higher amperage, but even at max power output from the inverter the individual batteries should only have a 60-70a load on them.

[@BeeneEnergy]

I haven’t, been working on finding 5kw of loads! Did find a dud battery though that cuts out at 60a loads :(. Will be working to get that one replaced.

[@wildness01]

For test loads, I just use space heaters. 1500 to 1800w each. Just keep adding until you max the inverter. They never pull exactly what they are rated, but 3 or 4 switched between high and low should be good. Just keep an eye on the inverter output.

[@jab376]

Powmr inverters I heard tend to drain/ consume batteries power/ wattage, when idle and not connected to load, some as high as 48 to 50 watts. Whats been your experience?

[@BeeneEnergy]

All inverters have some type of idle consumption. Generally it's linear with how large of an inverter it is. 3kw Powmr's that I've measured have been around 45w and 5kw like this unit about 60 watts at idle. I've got some nicer Megarevo 8KW hybrid inverters that are a little better at ~75 watts. Compare this to a Schneider XW6048 6KW at about 45w and yes the less expensive chinese inverters are less efficient for sure.

[@JR-kk6ce]

5000 watt setup using 100 watt golf cart batteries would be 50, 100 watt batteries at $300 each, would be $15,000 in batteries alone. I'm I missing something?

[@BeeneEnergy]

Each of those four batteries is 12.8v at 100amp hour. Which is 1,280watt hour. Four of them is right at 5,000watt hours. Coincidently the inverter can supply 5000w of power. Hence the title of the video :).

@@troyyarbrough I bought two Pro' s and four extension battery's. I can take one of these systems to my deer lease/bug out the other I leave hooked up to my box at the house and it runs ALL of my 120volt outlets. I needed the portability of the Ecoflow. COSTCO had the Pros for $2999.00 and Outdoor Trek had the batteries for $2500.00 not cheap But The Best On The Market, Right Now....Peace

[@Firehouse3D]

is it 110v or 220-230?

[@BeeneEnergy]

It’s 110/120v

[@Firehouse3D]

@@BeeneEnergy any chance you sell them? I burned up my grid tie with the rain.. :p

[@josephspurrier4202]

Where's the link for the panels?

[@BeeneEnergy]

If you’re in my area here’s a listing for the 230’s I did this setup with. If you’re too far away for a drive to Mansfield tx check out GoGreenManSolar.com who also has a good selection of used panels. If you check out “more ads from this user” you should see the 435w panels as well. dallas.craigslist.org/sdf/eld/d/arlington-230-watt-astronergy-solar/7426892052.html

Could this be used to give an EV an emergency charge?

[@BeeneEnergy]

You could, with the 120v charger.

Please can I have your contact to be able to chat with you directly because I am a novice with solar and inverter

[@yooper4life628]

Going to build and sell these units?

[@BeeneEnergy]

Gonna try and see if anyone is interested.

[@BigJoeGuillz]

I'll buy one today if you have it built and ready. This is genius sir.

Need to add a tip jar. Please

[@BeeneEnergy]

Well gosh I didn't even know that was a thing. Just looked and I don't have it available to me yet. I'll have to keep an eye out!

There is no such thing as "sort of grounded"

[@BeeneEnergy]

Not well grounded would probably be a better description.

POWMR - cheap short-lived Chinese products with zero maintenance and service. A clone of Voltronic products, made without quality control, with cheap components and ugly soldering. Unfortunately, I found out about all this when we opened my burned-out inverter, which only worked for 2 weeks at minimum load. Miser pays twice.

[@BeeneEnergy]

I’m sorry about your experience. I haven’t had any problems with them to date, including the hundreds of products I’ve helped people put into service from PowMr. I’ll readily admit there’s no expectation for support from PowMr, this is something I’d need to pay double for to Victron or Xantrex to get.

@@BeeneEnergy When buying, I was in a hurry, I had to reserve the power supply for the country house for the New Year holidays. And I reasoned as usual with any Chinese product - it will break - and I will buy another one, because it is cheap! But I realized my mistake when I saw a smoking appliance in a wooden house. It might not be so cheap if we weren't at home! And then the mockery of the Chinese, when they offered to make idiotic manipulations with the device themselves, as if they could bring it back to life. And then they just started ignoring me. Thank God the whole lesson was inexpensive and now I look only towards the brands that you yourself named.

Will you make me one and sell it to me make some money on your labor?
