Apology to the reflector - I conflated NESC, an IEEE standard, with NEC, which is the NFPA 70 document. Article 690 is part of the NEC, not the NESC. Too many standards on the brain...... 73, Mike, K

Hi Gordie, I advise separating the decision about your PV array DC bus voltage from the decision about the battery bank bus voltage. The Trina PV modules you acquired have an open-circuit voltage of

No flames, Randy - just a request for the source of the statement attributed to Ms. Rosenworcel, the FCC chairperson. I can't believe any FCC senior appointee would make a qualitative or quantitative

I have not seen this type of spectrum in the wild, Alex, but the stepped frequency dithering of each 'carrier' component in the spectrum suggests an SMPS which is inadvertently modulating an RF carri

Agreed, David (K1TTT) - the step frequency variation could readily be due to the FFT computation interval while the frequency wobble of the spectral lines occurs continuously because of drift in the

Hi Michael, All inverters, whether centralized or distributed (microinverters on each module of the PV array) have an accepted input voltage range over which they will perform the DC to AC conversion

Thanks, Bob, for raising that question again. The maximum solar irradiance on the Earth's surface is about 1300 Watts/square meter. A full moon produces about 1 mW/square meter, six orders of magnitu

It's important to note that the Solar Edge power conversion architecture uses two stages: the DC to DC converters that are attached to each PV module in an array, and the central inverter that conver

Hi David, I studied the links you provided. I did not see specifications for RMS noise voltage or frequency bandwidth. Indeed, these specifications make no sense for a battery pack, which the Super B

If my reading of that table from the source Joe linked is correct, the China transmitter on 7.195 MHz has a TX power of 50 watts. Seems unlikely to provide S9 + 10 dB signal or larger in west central

Correction to my last post - there are many SW broadcast stations on 7.195 MHz with 50 kW and up TX power. I put the table in frequency rank order and looked at the many stations on 7.195 MHZ. An unm
