MiG got a reaction from BritishRacingGreen in Does a device like this exist?Another option can be an active current monitoring device where you can set the exact amps you don't want exceeded.
It automatically reconnects the load after some seconds that one can program as well
These are able to monitor current and voltage. I use them to monitor the Eskom line voltage
In your case setting it to 3A would do the trick and it would reset itself without you having to manually do anything.
I have a feeling your inverter might be modified sine and not pure sine wave so I don't know how these would perform in that case

MiG got a reaction from Werberg in [Load Shedding] Help with a timed essential circuit, under a certain condition please!If you use a sonoff mini as a load shedding detector you can probably create a scene in the sonoff/ewelink app that can operate another sonoff device that will control that circuit.
When building the scene in the app you're basically telling it that if there is load shedding AND it's happening between these hours then only can the circuit get power
Both devices and your wifi must be on backup power so they're always on and ready
I have used the mini to disconnect certain heavy loads when there is load shedding but haven't yet used the time conditions that I know are in the app.
There are people on the forum that would know exactly how you could do this so hopefully they'll provide you some info..
Here is an example of a device that gets signal from the sonoff mini used as loadshedding sensor

MiG got a reaction from Scorp007 in Must inverter settingsFirst thing is to set BATT type to Li then bulk to 29V float to 27.6
These are the settings I've used on a similar LifeP04 battery.
Because your battery is a 0.5C you should use a breaker on the inverter output that will not allow the inverter to pull more than
0.5x2560W = 1280W
1280W/230V =5.5A so I sugest a 6A breaker

MiG got a reaction from Tim003 in 3 x 24V Lithium setupsHi guys. I just want to share some recent 'budget' systems I've done.
Two are 2kw and one is 3kw but all have 2.56kwh Lifepo4 storage.
2 systems were installed close to the db boards in the garage. One was installed outside under shelter to avoid fan noise
These systems power all the lights in the house as well as some plug points for the usual TV wifi PC etc. They also power garage and gate motors

MiG got a reaction from zsde in 3 x 24V Lithium setupsModina these are 24v systems. On the system that has no solar (first Pic) I used a power supply and set it to 27.6V especially as the Securiprods are seen as lead acid drop in replacements. However, I do think they might not top balance because of that voltage.
The system that has the Epever solar charge controller all the way on the left has Lifepo4 preset settings and goes all the way to 29.2V which I believe should then activate the cell balancing of the Securiprods' BMS. The power supply in this setup is for manual charging up to 27.6V on darker days
The MUST system has a built in Li charging algorithm and I've set bulk charge there also to around 29.2V charging an Esener battery
Beefy I did these for people I know and the costs have been from R24k (backup only) to R37k (Must/Esener setup)
Thanks JPNiemand I appreciate that
Ps there are 24v battery balancers on the Securiprod installs to keep the individual battery voltages even

MiG got a reaction from ___ in Pirate ICC??Yes indeed it is from ICC and according to other members I'm not the only one going through this..
I got my ICC Pi from CS
Plonkster you're 100% right. The product should not be affected by their issues..
I only wanted to delete my post cos I had put a pic of the CS box up (treasure chest) and thought they might have issue with that especially if they say there's a court case. Somehow those pics aren't showing up, I think my browser didn't upload them properly..
Anyway, does anyone on here know how to add relays or Sonoffs control to the Pi based on the info it captures from the Axperts and pylontechs?

MiG got a reaction from Arandoza in Pirate ICC??Hi guys. I really don't know what to think. I'm getting no support from ICC themselves. All I wanna do is make use of the Advanced Power Manager with Sonoffs or the home automation section of ICC or GPIO or whatever to control the pool and geyser.
This morning I wake up to this email now..
