What am I looking at?

Featured Replies

Hello

I have built a data acquisition system for my Mecer solar/grid inverter. Everything is working and I am getting data into my repository but I don't really know what I'm looking at as my background is coding, not electricity. Could someone please explain what these figures are that I'm getting back from the system? Some of them are self explanatory but I have included all the data types returned for completeness if someone else comes across this post looking for the same information.

Here is an example of a reading coming in every minute:

AC Active Power: 0161
AC Output Apparent Power: 0162
AC Output Frequency: 49.9
AC Output Voltage: 232.0
Battery Voltage: Battery Voltage: 26.99
Battery Capacity: 100
Battery Charging Current: 000
Battery Discharge Current: 00000
Battery Voltage from SCC: 26.95
BUS Voltage: 450
Device Status: 10011101
Grid Frequency: 49.9
Grid Voltage: 232.0
Inverter Heatsink Temp: 0565
Output Load Percent: 006
PV Input Voltage: 078.3
PV Input Watt: 00000
PV Input Current for Battery: 0000
