I like the built in pre-charge resistor. That's slick.

[@BradCagle]

That is pretty handy!

[@Roll2Videos]

As always great video 👍

[@BradCagle]

Thanks!

[@Code_hack_]

Great video Brad! Have you been using this inverter much lately? Do you know if the 3000w at ~240v is continuous. The provided documentation isn’t clear. Follow up video please!

[@kokopelli314]

I have the 36v 4000w version. The LVC is 37.5. This would be ~equivalent to 46.8 for yours. To me, for LiFePO4 that seems high @ 3.125v per cell.

[@BeeneEnergy]

My JBD BMS's don't detect under 1 amp of draw very well. I have that Schneider on a battery and it pulling 40w idle is imperceptible in the app so now the battery is dead but shows 160ah remaining, lol.

[@BradCagle]

Ahh, that makes sense.

[@budmartin3344]

2:03 that does not look right, each Hot (Line) terminal of each duplex is joined by that one red wire between the duplex Hot terminals and then the other Red wire goes to the PCB, so each Hot (LIne) of each duplex is not connected to proper L1 and L2. Am I seeing it correctly? If you measure AC Voltage between the Hot terminal of each duplex, do you get 240VAC?

[@icarus901]

Would one of the enphase inverters initialize if connected to 240v? If so....when there's a balanced load on each leg (or a consistent 240v load like an immersion heating element), does the load shown by the inverter drop by the enphase input?

[@BradCagle]

Funny you asked this. Chris Beene, and I were just discussing this, and I think we will be experimenting with this.

[@PWoods-cd6tk]

The anti spark feature is pretty cool. Did you say the neutral and the ground are not bonded together inside? So this could be plugged directly into a manual transfer switch at home?

[@BradCagle]

I measured no continuity between the neutral and the ground lugs, so it seems it's not internally bonded. I did later measure some AC voltage between the neutral, and ground so I need to figure out if a ground/neutral bond is acceptable on this unit. Because using a generator transfer switch would eventually cause a bond since there is bonding in the panel right?

[@PWoods-cd6tk]

All I know is that you only want one ground neutral bond and that is typically in your main panel. I think this one would work. I see people stick in regular inverters into their transfer switches anyway without any consequences. Thanks for the video I really appreciate it.

[@BradCagle]

@@PWoods-cd6tk You're welcome 🙂

[@rogue0921]

I believe that's a universal plug for the UK, Australia and may be and RV plug as well.

[@BradCagle]

Ahh, thanks for the info

[@justinmitchuson8992]

Much better than 150watts idle,

[@BradCagle]

Totally! 😁

[@jimfields9491]

So what size breaker/ fuse do you have between your battery and inverter?

[@varman001]

do the math, around 60A

[@ebenwaterman5858]

13:50 Cue the X Files theme. I didn't watch this when it came out 'cause I wasn't interested in 220. Am now, kinda'. Thanx anyhow. :)

[@BradCagle]

Haha, I think that my wife walking by the back door. Or is it 😬

[@ebenwaterman5858]

@@BradCagle :O

[@bruceeverett5372]

What is the use case for this at 240v and only 3000W? I don't think this would handle the in-rush of my well pump or a/c, and all my other 240v household loads are much higher 4500W+.

[@BradCagle]

I'm not sure yet. I've been meaning to test some 240v loads. Like dryer, pool pump, etc.. I'll get round to it. Thanks

[@TechMechRandom]

I am think it is just for powering a small house/cabin panel that has breakers on both legs 120/120v. I am not running anything in my cabin that requires 240v but need both legs powered for upstairs lighting. I am thinking about getting one of these as the price and power consumption from the EG4 split phase is both kind of high.

[@howardwrentworth3359]

3000w is enough to run a mini split, especially the newer high efficiency models.

[@RakeshShah-cx7ep]

❤

[@johndesousa7379]

can anyone tell me if this is a bidirectional inverter?

[@BradCagle]

It's not

[@kennethnguyen3382]

I had the 4000w one and the problem with that is when the battery drops down to 48 volts, the inverter shut down and no where that I set it to like 46-40 volts.

[@BradCagle]

Bummer, mine I think shuts down between 40-42v

[@johnshaw359]

That 240V socket should be appropriate for the US 240V standard only. WTF.

[@BradCagle]

I agree.

[@thedabbler2753]

The bit that's making me hesitate on buying this inverter is in the Amazon QA for the device. From the page, "The hardwire terminal can connect to the circuit panel in the house directly to get 120VAC or 240VAC, L1 for live, N for neutral, L2 for live, G for ground. L1+L2=240V, L1+N=120V, L2+N=120V. Note: can not L1+N+L2 at the same time!!!". The first two points seem to make sense, but then the note doesn't. I thought you were supposed to put L1 & L2 into a double pole breaker, land the neutral and ground on the neutral and ground bars, job done, but the note reads like don't do that. Hoping you have some insight, or can hook it to an off grid sub panel or something in another video. What I'm hoping is the 'note' is nonsense and one wires up as I suggested.

[@BradCagle]

Hmm, that's a very strange note. So seems to be saying Don't use 240v, and 120v at the same time? I need to revisit this thing. I haven't used it since the video.

[@thedabbler2753]

@@BradCagle re haven't used, I'm guessing one would forget all about the WZRELB after getting the EG4 6000! Hope that's going good.

[@BradCagle]

@@thedabbler2753 It seems to be going good. I really want to get around to doing more videos with it, and installing it somewhere I can put some solid use on it. 😜

[@WattsinWattsout]

I just picked up a 24v 4000w model and will be testing for a panel install. Interesting you brought that up in the manual. The Universal 240 outlet has 2 hots @ 120 ea. and the ground is connected to the case ground, terminal and 120v outlet grounds. If you install with a panel the grounds will become neutral bonded and the Universal socket will have 220 and two 120 legs potentially. I have tested a few of these WZRELB 120v inverters and they are running fine with earth ground neutral panel connections as long as you check the 120v outlets that can have polarity issues. .

[@thedabbler2753]

@@WattsinWattsout as your reply came in I just ordered the 48v 3k model. With a gift card & rewards it was $390. Arrives Saturday. Will be giving it a whirl then.
