I just bought a SmartSolar MPPT 150/35 to run six solar panels. I also have a wind generator. I idid have a non-branded Chinese hybrid controller but its internal limits would not allow me to generate more power when I went from 4 to 6 panels, so I took it offline. I had a Renogy Rover 30, and I r…

I would contact the manufacture and follow their instructions or see if their is something on their website about testing the dumpload. But either way I would monitor the turbine very closely before connecting it to your main system. It has LED lights and on a windy day you can visually see the li…

Giandel 3,000W 24V Pure Sine Wave. It inverts to 120V. The change is very minimal and may have been related to the previous charge controller. I also had 4 batteries at the time. I now have six and they are well balanced. My output voltage from them is a lot more constant. As far as the wind c…

I ordered a pair of small (12V-9AH) LiFePO batteries that I can set up as 24V. Then I can set up the wind as a separate system to test the dump load. They should arrive about the same time as the Smart Shunt. Batteries that small should fill quickly and trigger the dump load faster, even at night. …

Good idea better to be safe than sorry. Let me know how it goes.

Wind generator charege controller and dumpload are set back up. They are currently routed to the pair of small 12V batteries, so the final dressing of the wiring cannot be completed. Top left is the brake switch which shorts out the three lines coming in from the generator (3-phase AC). This will…

Ok a good test rig, lets see how it goes. Where does the Inverter negative go?

Inverter negative goes directly to the battery bank. It bypasses the shunt. The red dial switch to the lower left of the inverter is the master switch which shuts everything down at the batteries. My battery bank and bus bars are located on a shelf underneath the top of the workbenc area in front…

The wind generator is now integrated back into my system. The relay now completely disconnects the batteries when the dump load is triggered. This is a rectifier-voltage control set up which only works with AGM ot other lead-acid batteries. [image]

Hi Looks like you have it sorted now, well done! Anything else you need please just ask.

Much appreciated. Looks a little like a can of worms and the relay looks like a heart bypass, but the dump load has been completely separated from the rest of the system. The shunt should help to throttle back the instant on element of the relay switch. The only issue, which I resolved and posted…
