Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Well after hooking up a PIP 4048HS to do a comparison on the solar charge controllers on the 5048MS all is not what it seems. And wise words from my dad “ Never believe anything that you hear and only half of what you see” ring true again. The outputs differ greatly with about 500 watts of sun the H...

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Well I have had the two PIP 5048MS inverters installed a couple of weeks now, and have noticed two interesting things. First the mppt solar charge controllers do not input nearly as much power to the battery as the old PIP 4048HS units. My solar panels are running about 70 volt dc in. And second to ...

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Hello erland82 You could turn the inverter on/off with switch when you get there but the MPPT stops as well Paul are you sure about that? With My pair of PIP4048HS i switch the second inverter off every day and the solar side works seperate to the AC inverter side, Same with the Pip3024HS i have in...

PIP-4048MS inverter
yes you can power down the slave whenever and save your idle current at night and day and switch it back on whenever. I use a Digital Current switch on the inverter output to turn on the second PIP when my load exceeds 2750 watts it switches a timer relay and holds the slave on for approx. 30 minute...

PIP-4048MS inverter
Mine went into fault and dropped the load when it was in parallel with low battery . I can't tell you what it would do on overload haven't been there yet. I feel if AC mains is connected the pip will be in phase with the mains shortly after coming on line. I have found switching between pip and grid...

PIP-4048MS inverter
I have seen my 4048 switch to bypass only on low battery voltage and only when using one unit, With both units on in parallel this does not work. I have my pair set up so one runs all the time and the output is run thru a digital current switch as the first units output gets up to about 70% the seco...

PIP-4048MS inverter
Just a Quick update with my Parallel PIPs. All good After the inverters are wired and set to Parallel mode, which ever inverter is turned on first becomes the Master, once the master is active and the Slave is turned on it takes about 8 seconds to come on line and share the load. If the Slave is tur...
