Is the 4th FM80 not wired yet?

Is green breaker the FM80 dc out with shunt? Or is shunt in the 175a dc breaker?

When you go away for a long trip, do you disable diesel backup? If it runs you need to manually reset the FM80 breaker to have panels charge batteries.

Nope, lithium.
Would be an interesting application. 3.8 kw each, but I don稚 know what a GC requires.

I don't know but Mostly got a new Yamaha Drive 48v maybe he knows.

Has your installer ever converted a lead acid golf cart to lithium?

But I also found a vegan restaurant in Austin that I will try.

Hey, which one? Try to stay off I35 in Austin during commute times. What are you planning to see in Austin.
There is also the Blue Corn Harvest grill that has good vegan options in Georgetown that has big parking a block from it.

I believe the FM80 breakers are in the Load center. That is part of today, adding the 2nd CC and appropriate breakers to the 4048 system.

System will only use 3 shunts.
A - all the Radian inverters
B - all the FM80 CC
C - my FX external chargers.

I’ll get an as is pic after coffee, then update after all together.

Like this?

Got apples dehydrated. Taste good but may have used a little to much cinnamon.

Buckeye, this takes me back to Electronics 101, affectionately known then in a liberal arts college as Shocks For Jocks.

very successful afternoon with next door neighbor. Taking Ron's suggestion, heated up the yellow cover of the rv power cable and with some twisting
around it went right on. One down. Then, since he was here, and my xmas wreaths were delivered from Master Gardener benefit sale, we put up the big 36 inch wreath on the barn. And thank you, thank you to the prior owner. Nice fat nail already sticking out of barn in just the right place.
Not the first wreath to go up there in 30 years.
Now to get a red bow on it and some led lights. I was asked to put it up plain since they wanted a picture of this size for next year's catalog.
Little more effort decorating at top of ladder but doable.

those apples look good and I love cinnamon, unless like Old Bay seasoning, it overwhelms...

Coffee is done brewing. 35ｰ with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 43ｰ with mix of sun and clouds. Dentist appointment got canceled because hygienist cut her finger. Hope she is back tomorrow for rescheduled appointment. Conserved energy most of the day. Going to try dehydrating some apples today in toaster oven.

Eric, lots of very bright LED lanterns out there. I have one of these.

David, good looking project.

Looking, I never heard of putting peroxide in water heater. I have done chloride in the water system. But have not done it in many years. Softener keeps the water in heater from collecting sediment.

Buckeye, nice looking fire pit. I am still using a Maytag SS tub for a fire pit.

Hawkeye, glad you have choices.

Prayers and best wishes to all.

Bird, I still have the Sleep Number we bought 20 years ago. Never had a problem with it. Have a newer one that we bought last year. It's a 360 P5 with Flexfit 2. Very comfortable bed. Hope your new one works out.

Good Morning All.

I suspect the sacrificial anode in the tank is toast. When I pull the old one out (it comes out through the top), I will drain the tank first, then pull the old anode and with the aid of a funnel, get the peroxide in.
The peroxide will stay in about 3-4 hours before I fill the tank and flush that out. Then refill it and turn the juice on again.
back when I had a dug/shallow (21') well, every spring a quart of Javex went into the well. I have a drilled well now, but along with that, I have lots of manganese. The softener takes care of that.

Not wired. The Prewired 4048 comes with just 1 CC

Green breaker is GFCI

No, generators stay enabled.
No resetting, the CC have own programming.

Thomas; You want to hope and pray that you do not come across Mama Moose. Not when she has her calf with her. They turn aggressive and will not hesitate to do you grievous harm.
