Hi,
Do you know why all of my 4048 inverters are "limited" to 3,2 kW power input from solar panels?
Whatever I pun over that on them they cut the rest off...
Sa far as I know they are nominated to be 4kW?
Thank You and best regards

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Some time in late 2015, they changed from 60 A max to 80 A max. Mine are manufactured October 2015, and still have the 60 A max SCCs.
60 A is close to 3.2 kW, 80 A is close to 4 kW. About 10% more at higher battery voltages (LFP battery).
Wnen were yours manufactured? There is usually a small sticker on the side that has the manufacturing year and month, or it's encoded in the serial number.

Mine is year 2014, and 60A model,
Never mind I will put rest of panels on 5048 in 6S.

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
The removable display firmware handles a variety of models. In particular, the 12.xx series seem to attempt to handle VM III, King, MAX 230 V, and MAX 120 V. Running that on a model it's not expecting (PIP-MGX) is likely to cause trouble. In your case, it likely won't recognise the MGX's query name command response, so it likely defaults to code 0, which means it thinks it's talking to a VM III. For the maximum current setting, it checks to see if it's a VM III, and if so, it doesn't send the machine number in the command (VM IIIs can't be paralleled). This is not valid for a PIP-MGX, hence the error.mihaigsm2003 wrote: ↑Thu, 12 May 2022, 01:35 I received inverter for repair with non original display, i try with all finded fw from internet
[ Edit: My guess is that they are working towards unifying the 02.xx display firmware (for Kings and VM IIIs) with the 15.xx MAX display firmware, but since Kings and VM IIIs still seem to come with 02.xx display firmware, I'd say that the unification is not yet complete. So while 12.xx might appear to work on a King or VM III, there may be subtle problems. ]

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Err, woops! I assumed that I had a matched set, but it seems that I don't. It's possible that the reseller via Voltronics has supplied some hapless owner the mismatched set, I would not put it past them.
71.10 returns code (042 from QGMN, but display firmware 15.04 doesn't look for those values; only for King values. There was a note I put at the front of the firmware saying that this was from a rack mounted King, but I assumed I made a copy and paste error. But perhaps I didn't. Sigh.
So I don't know what display firmware a PIP-MGX comes with, sorry. I did a quick search, and find I said as much some 8 months ago: https://powerforum.co.za/topic/9947-fir ... ent=105578 . I even admitted back then that the firmware I thought was for MGX is in fact for rack-mounted Kings. Sigh. So many versions to remember.
Edit: Ah. From this post, it seems it comes with 13.xx (in his case, 13.12). Sadly, this is not in my collection.

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Hello everyone, I'm new on these forum and I need help.
I have 2 inverters MPPSolar U5648MS connected in Parallel mode. Wen I have power from solar panels above 4kWp and I connect the 5kw load the power of solar panels is oscillate badly from 0 to 3kw on each inverter.
Is possible to have a bug in firmware because is new version of off-grid inverters?
Also I have parameters 14 and 15 that I don't know what is do.
Thanks!

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Welcome.
I doubt it's a firmware issue. Check the current sharing cables. Those are the red and black twisted pair wires with the green connectors at the ends.I have 2 inverters MPPSolar U5648MS connected in Parallel mode. Wen I have power from solar panels above 4kWp and I connect the 5kw load the power of solar panels is oscillate badly from 0 to 3kw on each inverter.
It's nearly guaranteed. And of course, the premature float bugs are proudly provided with every new (and every old) model. But as I say, I suspect that your particular problem isn't firmware.Is possible to have a bug in firmware because is new version of off-grid inverters?
Huh. The manual doesn't mention these. Looks like I'll have to read the firmware to find out what they mean. But I don't have any of these firmwares in my collection as yet. A quick run though a few manuals for other models didn't reveal anything for settings 14 or 15.Also I have parameters 14 and 15 that I don't know what is do.
Do you get any prompts at the bottom, like 2 or 3 letters before 3 digits, that sort of thing? Or do the up and down keys scroll through all-letter options?
I suppose you could ask your supplier, and they might get an answer back from Taiwan. But it seems unlikely, sadly.

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Thank you for your replay.
If I'm in discharge mode without power from solar panels the inverters work great in paralel mode.
Only wen the power of solar panels increase above 2kwp on both inverter the inverter is apear the problem wen I have the load conneted.
The parameter 14 I have set LbE and I can set to Lbd and the second inverter change inself automatic and the parameter 15 I have Nbd set and if I set to NbE is change automatic to Nbd.
If the solar panel are available and I don't have anything to output the inverter work great and charge with 6kwp the baterry and the power on solar panels are verry stable.
I will check all wiring again to be shure are all wright.
The supplier is not answare to my quastions about the 2 paramaters.
Thanks again.

Has someone used one of those Switches as Battery main switch?
I've found descriptions with 1000A and 48V and even some with 24V max. They are sometimes called Nato-Bone...
and seem to be a clone of original military battery main switches..

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
I use miniature AC circuit breakers rated for 48V DC they go as high as 100 amp you can even get them rated to 400V DC
just need to get the ones with 10ka or higher marked on them.
You can use double , triple , quad breakers with their contacts in series to increase the voltage rating and arc gap
reading the specifications will tell you if they are suitable NO ARK brand has a number of DC types.
Note reading specification for the current trip at DC is important as it will be different to to the AC one
it can be 3 to 5 times the AC trip also for a large battery bank its a good idea to use a HRC fuse in one
of the links of the cells/batteries so that a short at the battery output is accounted for.

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
I'm not a fan of that idea. You'd need at least two poles in parallel for each leg (must break positive and negative sides), and if you need a HRC fuse anyway, the switch is just slightly more convenient than removing a fuse.
I use removable 28 mm DC rated HRC fuses in mine. The removable fuse holders are not cheap, and fuse ejecting is not rated for disconnection under load, but nothing DC rated is cheap.

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Been used for more than 30 years in telecommunication where its all 48v dc only ever in the neg 48v side
as positive is grounded , proper safety and engineering practices had to be followed but they must be
the DC rated ones.
Note my system is positive grounded as I have an ex telecoms battery cabinet and 48v to 24v and 12v dc/dc
converters all with positive ground.
It is a bolt in type that forms part of the links in the battery a last resort if the short is close to the battery output terminals.

Huh. I never knew that. But I never did spend much time inside exchanges.
Even after the relay era? I guess there is a lot of inertia.where its all 48v dc
I have to admit I'm not fond of that regulation. Or countries that insist on switching neutrals.only ever in the neg 48v side
Yes, they're good for PV isolating and protection. I have many of them myself.The NOARK Ex9BP-JX are rated to 250v dc https://www.noark-electric.eu/en/products/110139

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Are you saying that you have a spare off-grid removable display, and want to use it with an on-grid LV6048 inverter? I don’t know much about the on-grid firmware. I would guess that the hardware is similar, though the display typically has different LCD segments, for example to represent power flow to the grid. So I don't believe that this will work.mihaigsm2003 wrote: ↑Wed, 01 Jun 2022, 04:18 Hi, i need any firmware for display MCU for inverter hybrid.

On-grid inverters from Voltronic seem to have several different protocols, none of them the same (sometimes similar) as the off-grid protocol. I imagine that split phase models like the LV6048 might have a few extra commands or response fields to report on or control the two AC inputs and outputs. I don't collect on-grid firmware any more, and have never noticed split phase firmware update files. These models are common only in North America and a few other countries, for obvious reasons, so I don't tend to hear about them.Is totaly other protocol between processors.

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
The switching of both positive and negative makes not much sense when all the
metal surrounding the equipment is the positive battery and even though
a positive wire was run to equipment it was grounded when it got there
which seems odd when you think about earth loops yet it worked fine.
With a floating battery no earth system and no common buss I can see
switching both reasonable. I like having the battery in respect to ground
as it means you will not end up with it much more than 60 volts above
ground in case of a fault eg loss of insulation between primary and secondary
in a transformer putting 240v ac on the DC side.

as it means you will not end up with it much more than 60 volts above
ground in case of a fault eg loss of insulation between primary and secondary
in a transformer putting 240v ac on the DC side.

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters
Agreed. But it surprises me that a large battery would ever be grounded to metal. It means that every accidental short to metal means a high current arc, UV flash, flying copper snot, and soiled underwear. As far as I know, all EV batteries are floating and have insulation checking.

I just thought this looks interesting and thought I better check a few things.
Over the years I have used Ex Telecom batteries and chargers with great success, batteries were stuffed many years ago and have since moved on, still have the large lead acid batter boxes and 50Amp rectifiers, and need some of the control boards repairing, just looking, and yes they all switch the negative either by circuit breaker or by fuse link to the 48v battery bank.
From checking I could not find them grounded either positive or negative.
And my battery banks have always been floating, no issues.
The Noark circuit breakers are great.

All the metalwork in exchanges are grounded so mounting anything grounds it.
The power supplies do not normally have an internal ground , if mains powered
then the metal case would be connected to mains earth but it does need some
investigation when mounting in grounded racks with positive battery grounded
RCDs can trip.
