  5. Hi Guys, Could you please give some advise. Have a Kodak OG10 and looking to add PV to the system. The specs state that OG10 - 10000Watts (2 x 5000Watts per MPPT) and Open Circuit Voltage of 450Vdc. With this inverter having 2 x PV inputs just a bit confused with regards to the Open Circuit Voltage. Is the 450Vdc the total voltage or 450Vdc per MPPT? The panels specs as follows: 500Watts / VOC 45.59vdc Having 2 strings of 9 x Panels each in series, so 9 panels in series to PV input 1 and 9 panels in series to PV input 2. Each string will have to following value = VOC-410.31vdc & Pmax-4500Watts Input 1 = Voc 410.31vdc & 4500Watts Input 2 = Voc 410.31vdc & 4500Watts Will this work?
  6. @Steve87 and @jumper thank you for you assist. I did contact Segen and I must log a return via portal. This clicking sound is not all the time. During power outage and running from the Solar_MD battery it clicks, but from normal power no sounds. But then the next outage there are no clicking sounds. This is the first time an axpert is giving me issues.
  7. I Have kodak OG Plus 5.48 connected to lithium battery and during power outage the inverter has the strange clicking sound. Clip of sound attached. Could anyone assist what this sound is. Thank you PM.mp4
  8. Hi Guys, I have a 5kva axpert king connected to lithium battery. During power outage the inverter has a clicking sound - have attached clip. Does anyone know what this sound is? Thank you PM.mp4
  9. @Steve87thank you for your assistance, much appreciated

  11. Need assistance please. How to correctly connect communications cable two plylontech US5000's to Kodak Inverter. Will the communication cable that comes with the inverter work? because there is no communication cable in the cables pack anymore

  13. @Nexuss Appreciate your response
  14. @Coulomb could you please assist me with this question?
  15. The pylontech batteries are supplied with 25mm2 cables. How many pylontech US5000 can be connected in parallel with the supplied cables as the more batteries you connect will increase the amperage and there is no way in increasing the cables due the the way pylontech batteries connect.
  16. Thank you @Coulomb Appreciate your input and advise.
  17. Good Day, @Coulomb , I need your assistance again please. I have just installed 1 x Kodak OG-Plus 5.48 (King) 5Kva Inverter and connected to 4 x Lithium batteries in series (48V). The batteries are GEN2 LiFePO4 (LFP) Lithium 12.8V 230Ah Batteries. There are no solar panels connected to the inverter, just the grid and batteries & loads. The system is basically for backup only should the grid fail. The issue I am faced with at present is that the lights flicker when the inverter takes load, i.e coffee machine or hair drier starts up. The inverter is within its load capacity at that time so it is not due to overload. If I switch off utility and run from batteries alone it seems there is a dip in the lights only and no flicker. If I switch inverter off and inverter is in bypass mode it is all fine. Is there some setting that can be adjusted to prevent the lights from flickering or is it something we have to live with?
  18. Good Day, Please I need assistance. I have installed 2 x Kodak OG-Plus 5.48 (King) Inverters in parallel and connected to 4 x Lithium batteries in series (48V). The batteries are GEN2 LiFePO4 (LFP) Lithium 12.8V 230Ah Batteries (Specs attached). There are no solar panels connected to the inverters, just the grid and batteries & loads. The system is basically for backup only should the grid fail. Please find attached the LCD setting menu of inverters for assistance purposes & battery type and specs. Could someone Please help me with the correct settings from 00-39. @Coulomb, could you also please shed some light on this subject as you are very knowledgeable. It will be much appreciated.
