EG4 6000XP Off Grid Inverter PROVED To Be A GAME CHANGER!

[@MyCERanch]

This is a great starter. I purchased the same setup, the 6000XP, and the two batteries. I have been running the house off-grid for the past 18 days. It looks like I will have to invest in a second 6000XP so I can feed the garage and power the well. I like it as backup power, but I want to eventually be energy-independent. The only load it cannot handle is the dryer when it is set on anything other than the gentle cycle. It will not handle loads over 6K. We get a lot of sun, and the batteries last all night, discharging to around 30% before I start making coffee in the morning.

I'm very cool Go ahead to know that the batteries are lasting.That's awesome

[@diggerbrass]

@@MyCERanch try reducing your loads to help manage your power demand. If you get a heat pump dryer it only uses about ½ a kW (0.4-0.8kW depending on the cycle). A traditional dryer uses 3-5kW depending on the cycle but averages about 4½ kW.

Also, it you’re pulling positive from the top battery, you should pull negative from the bottle battery to keep it balanced

[@Robertbush-s7t]

You do hook the com cable between battery

[@SoluSolaire]

You should connect the positive of one batterie to the inverter and the negative of the other battery to the inverter

[@Robertbush-s7t]

Should use your Victron bus bar use a 200 amp fuse

[@TaddyDigest]

Great idea thank you

[@michaeldean3771]

Rubber wire grommet for the battery cable knock out hole at least.

[@Robertbush-s7t]

You have a much better system now good job Enjoy

[@Robertbush-s7t]

You can have up to 17 amps on each PV

Nice setup all the way from west Africa 🌍

11:28 Those two wires should be: Black for leg 1 and Red for leg 2!

Nice system

[@AskRemy]

what is your experience with victron

[@TaddyDigest]

I like Victron Products

[@Robertbush-s7t]

@@TaddyDigest Victron is one of the best if not the best but cost a lot

[@xzibit8614]

Also it’s not lithium ion. It’s lithium iron phosphate

[@owusuabraham6649]

Iwant diagram of the installing

[@randomtv.9486]

nice video. Are the old stuff going to charity, lol ?

[@michaeldean3771]

AWG = American Wire Gauge

[@xzibit8614]

Only issue is the EG4 has more standby consumption than Victrons

[@Time-Trvlr]

New word I'm hearing "Awg" ?

[@TaddyDigest]

American wire gauge

[@Time-Trvlr]

@ at first I thought i heard you say 8 Aught . (@_@)

[@TaddyDigest]

@Time-Trvlr and sometimes I talk too fast. I need to slow it down sometimes

[@maverickmacgyver]

@@Time-Trvlr me too. 8 auugghh. I like it and think that’s my new standard instead of 8 gauge. Just like I adopted batt-trees for the storage. Excellent!!

[@heatncool]

We're is your hex video 😅

[@TaddyDigest]

I think it's on my crypto playlist

@TaddyDigest ahh heck no. I was joking 😂 Richard heart makes sex toys lol

[@TaddyDigest]

yes sir

[@quickquote1568]

The high-frequency EMF that is emitted by these low cost high frequency inverters is considered more potentially dangerous than the low-frequency EMF from low frequency inverters because higher frequencies carry more energy and can potentially damage cells and DNA more readily, especially when exposure levels are high; this is why radiation like X-rays and gamma rays, which are high-frequency forms of EMF, are considered ionizing and can be harmful to living tissue.

[@unaffiliated_x9279]

👍👍

[@davefroman4700]

A suitable mounting surface is NOT metal. You want concrete backer board.

[@quickquote1568]

Not a wise choice for an inverter. These low cost, Chinese made inverter chargers use low surge, short lived high frequency, transformerless inverter technology that can be unsafe when powering household appliances or when charging an EV because they both lack an output transformer that provides galvanic isolation between their DC boost stage and their AC output. You're far better off investing in a lmuch safer, higher performance low frequency, transformer based inverter charger.

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you for this knowledge brother

[@TaddyDigest]

Do you have any recommendations for a better Inverter brand

[@honumoorea873]

What a mess...not surprised the guy did not even read the manual that say : Do not mount those things on a fucking flammable surface..!

[@TaddyDigest]

Works great.I love it.Thanks for all your help lol 😆 🤣

​@@TaddyDigestthese safety police act like someone is being raped. Yet vote for all gender bathrooms for our children. Besides; You'd be surprised how much heat those green wood are able to withstand. And if someone does catch fire; that shed is the last of the worries I'm sure. 😊
